Over the weekend Brondby raised the stakes in tifo making with a quite incredible display for the Copenhagen derby.
Last weekend we saw Porto fans’ tifo effort for their clash with Benfica which depicted a dragon with burning flares for eyes, but this gladiator themed tifo from Brondby fans has taken it up a notch or three.
Brondby fans recreated the coliseum ahead of their clash with FC Copenhagen, with the centre piece being a rather gruesome gladiator wielding the decapitated head of a lion.
The intimidating tifo and atmosphere paid off as Brondby secured a 1-0 win over their local rivals thanks to a goal from Martin Albrechtsen.
The Copenhagen Derby, also known as New Firm, has become renowned in the football world for having a fantastic atmosphere. The rivalry between Brøndby IF and F.C. Copenhagen is huge and has been an ever-present of Danish football since the early 1990’s. New Firms’ popularity is now so popular that the match regularly sells out, and fans come from across the world to witness it. If you are interested in attending the match then it’s worth checking copenhagen hotels and planning a trip over to Denmark to catch it.
