The F.C. Copenhagen Fan Club finds it deeply unsatisfactory that this year’s cup final has been moved to MCH Arena in Herning – a stadium with a capacity of only 12,000 spectators. This week’s two semi-finals in the cup tournament attracted a combined audience of over 35,000 spectators, clearly showing the widespread, nationwide interest in the tournament. In light of the commitment from both finalists and the final's status as a celebration of football across Denmark, it is highly regrettable that such limited conditions have been chosen for the match.

On Thursday, April 3rd, the Divisionsforeningen (Danish League Association) announced their plan for the organization of the 2025 cup final. We recognize the need for safety considerations at major matches, but we are disappointed and puzzled that fan organizations have not been part of the process leading to the chosen solutions.

After the most recent derby at Brøndby Stadium, we expressed concerns about the safety of our traveling fans due to repeated security failures in and around the away section.

It is said that a lack of large turnouts at general assemblies can be a sign of a healthy organisation.

If that theory holds true, then things are going quite well for the F.C. Copenhagen Fan Club, as Thursday’s general assembly was a quiet affair, with just 21 attendees in the fan club’s premises.

A Busy but Good Year

Fortunately, things are going well in more than just theory. 2024 was a year of rapid development in and around FCKFC, particularly with the introduction of F.C. Copenhagen’s women's team.

We kick off on the 31st of March at 19.00 against Randers FC, and the last game will be against FC Nordsjælland on the 25th of May - presuming we finish better than third place.

Information about which games are DUL-games will be on this site later on.

- On Sunday, I was sad. Now, I just lack words.

These words come from Kvart i Bold’s Kasper Larsen, and they actually refer to two things:

Partly the debacle on the pitch in Viborg, where a miserable second half cost all three points. But unfortunately, also the messages that started flooding the inbox of the Kvart i Bold founder, shortly after the final whistle.

Completely Incompetent Idiots

In the F.C. Copenhagen Fan Club, we have followed the debate over the past few days regarding one of FCK’s owners and his statements about the war in Ukraine.

For us, it is clear that F.C. Copenhagen, as a club, has taken on an important social responsibility in connection with the war.

After todays Conference League draw it is now settled that we're meeting english giants Chelsea for the third time in a european knockout round.

We're starting at home in Parken on the 6th of March and the return leg in London will be played a week after on the the 13th of March.

The fan club is currently looking into the possibility of organising an away trip to the match on the 13th.

Should we manage to beat Chelsea, we'd be facing norwegian Molde og polish Legia Warzaw in the quarter finale.

There is always a risk that fan clubs can get stuck in inefficient workflows simply because of the mindset: “This is how we’ve always done it.” That’s why we greatly appreciate the opportunity for knowledge-sharing at these seminars.

The women's team's capo, Tina Thorman, received the Danish Football Fans' award for 'Tribute of the Year' on Saturday evening at the fan association's annual seminar.

It hasn't even been six months since the FCK women's team made their debut with enthusiastic support in the stands.
