AaB fans expressed their discontent with the club’s ownership group, Sports Strategy Excellence 22 (SSE22), during their final Superliga match against Lyngby, which they lost 3-1. The game, of little consequence due to both teams’ confirmed relegation, saw supporters staging protests instead of focusing on the on-field action.

The fans, many dressed in black to symbolize mourning, displayed banners in both German and Danish criticizing SSE22. One banner directly addressed Ole Jan Kappmeier, a member of the ownership group and former sports director, referencing his past promises and inviting his removal from the club.

James Gow, the current sports director, also faced scrutiny from the fans, who questioned his qualifications and previous work experience in Liverpool’s youth system and Al-Jazira. The banners suggest a deep dissatisfaction among the fans with the club’s leadership and direction.

The team’s performance in the match itself seemed secondary to the protests. Lyngby took an early lead with goals from Michael Opoku and Frederik Gytkjær. AaB briefly narrowed the gap with an own goal, but Gytkjær quickly restored Lyngby’s two-goal advantage. Adding to AaB’s woes, Bjarne Pudel received a red card in the final minutes.

Lyngby’s victory secured them a finish three points above AaB, who ended the season at the bottom of the league. The match served as a backdrop for the fans’ vocal demonstration against the ownership, highlighting the turmoil surrounding the club’s relegation and future prospects.
