Copenhagen Gears Up for Overlapping FCK Match and DHL Relay Race

Copenhagen is preparing for potential congestion as a sold-out FCK Champions League playoff match coincides with the DHL relay race in Fælledparken. The events, expected to draw tens of thousands of people, are set to occur in close proximity this evening.

Police are collaborating with organizers to manage the expected challenges to public transportation and traffic. Authorities have developed a plan to keep the events separate and mitigate potential chaos.

The FCK match against F.C. Basel will be held at Parken, with a capacity of over 35,000 spectators. The game is scheduled to begin at 9 PM, with doors opening at 7 PM.

The DHL relay race, which spans five days, anticipates a total of 160,000 participants. The races commence at 6 PM in Fælledparken.

FCK has advised fans to avoid the southern part of Fælledparken due to the DHL relay. Supporters heading to the A-stand, Section 12, and the C-stand are encouraged to use Øster Alle to access Parken.
