Previously, Malmö FF has also expressed itself critically, and in a joint statement from AIK, Hammarby and Djurgården, the Stockholm clubs emphasized that they are ”deeply worried about the development”. On Wednesday morning, IFK Norrköping followed.
According to the police's new directives, which will apply from and including this weekend's 24th Allsvenskan round, one writes among other things: "If order and safety at the event are disturbed by unauthorized masking in organized form carried out by visitors at the event, the organizer shall interrupt the event until the unauthorized organized masking has ceased".

Elfsborg and Gais meet in the 24th round on Saturday.
