AGF fans shouted 'Heil Hitler' during match against Midtjylland at Tivoli Friheden. A family claims that Nazi chants were shouted by AGF fans. Thousands of supporters were gathered at the stadium, which showed the top match between the two Danish clubs on a large screen. But the football party was put on hold by disturbing fan chants. A family claims that they heard some shout 'Heil Hitler' during the match. They stretched out their right arms and shouted 'Heil Hitler'. It was a really shocking experience. We have been to many football matches and know the gestures and chants that fans use, says the mother of the family, who wants to remain anonymous. – These expressions and gestures do not belong in this category. It was clear Nazi expressions, she continues. Neither the stadium nor the police have registered the chants or gestures. However, AGF has said that they have identified some of those behind the chants and have sanctioned them with two years' ban from the stadium. – We are glad that we have been able to identify the people behind the chants in one of the cases, so that we can sanction them. But we are especially glad that it happens on the basis of our dialogue with our own spectators, who have helped us to exercise a strong self-justice that we value highly. It is absolutely necessary if we are to combat this evil – and we will, says AGF director Jacob Nielsen in a press release. – On a football stadium with many emotions, there often arises a rough tone that should be a certain room for, but I can only repeat that we take a sharp stance against, and have zero tolerance for, any form of racism. Therefore, we have chosen to sanction with two years' ban, he continues. The club also reports that they have discovered another incident with a Midtjylland supporter who also shouted racist chants. He is said to have shouted 'dra hjem, apekatt', 'jødesvin' and 'perkelelsker', while also directing Nazi salutes at other spectators. AGF says they have identified the man and informed Midtjylland about him.
