The U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen informs U.S. citizens that on Tuesday, September 27, from 2025 hours to 2300 hours there will be a Champions League football game between FC Copenhagen and Club Brugge at the Parken Stadium. Spectators will start arriving at the stadium late this afternoon.
Expect increased pedestrian traffic near the city center and on both sides of Dag Hammarskjölds Allé. There will also be increased vehicular traffic around the stadium before and after the game. Please maintain situational awareness while in these areas.
Due to a violent history between the fans, the Danish Police have established a “Visitation Zone” around Parken Stadium, which ends on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 at 1200. The “Visitation Zone” allows police to conduct personal searches of individuals.
