FC Copenhagen and Brøndby Fined After Derby, Given Suspended Stadium Bans

After the heated Copenhagen derby in the Danish football league, FC Copenhagen and Brøndby have been handed hefty fines and suspended threats of stadium closures.

FC Copenhagen fans set off 95 pyrotechnic devices and a number of fireworks during their 1-0 win over arch-rivals Brøndby before the international break. They also displayed banners with offensive messages.

FCK has been fined 400,000 Danish kroner for the offences, equivalent to approximately 600,000 Swedish kronor.

Brøndby, meanwhile, has been fined 262,500 Danish kroner because its supporters, among other things, lit 100 Bengal lights.

Both clubs have also received suspended stadium-closure penalties. This means the stands can be closed if supporters commit further rule violations over the next 12 months.
