The Danish Football Association (DBU) has been fined around 10,000 euros (approximately 75,000 Danish kroner) by UEFA for an insulting banner displayed by fans during a match. The DBU has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the fine and has announced that it will pursue the fans responsible.
DBU president Erik Bøg Rasmussen, in an interview with Danish news website bold, said that the fine is unfair as it will directly cut into valuable resources used to develop Danish football. He stated that the next step is to identify the fans and directly communicate with them, informing them that their actions have resulted in financial losses for the DBU and expecting them to take responsibility.
Rasmussen also warned that the DBU will take legal action if the fans refuse to pay the fine. He added, “If they’re willing to pay the fine immediately, then that’s the end of it. They agreed to abide by the rules when they entered, and now they’re blatantly violating them. But if the fans concerned refuse to pay, we will have to use the civil courts to resolve this issue.”
The DBU’s decision has caused a stir in the football world, as this approach is quite rare. However, in the face of UEFA’s strict penalty, the DBU seems determined to hold the actual perpetrators accountable. This move has sparked widespread social discussion: Should the consequences of fan behavior be borne by individuals or by the governing body? Is taking legal action justified? These questions have become hot topics of debate in Denmark.
