FC Midtjylland have decided to suspend one of their fans after he attacked an elderly local spectator in connection with the match between FC Midtjylland and FC Nordsjaelland in Copenhagen Tuesday evening

A supporter of FC Midtjylland supporter has been given a ten-year ban.

FC Midtjylland has just announced the news on their website in a joint press release with FC Nordsjaelland, where they aim to take a stand together against violence. 

The ban comes after an elderly FCN spectator was assaulted outside the stadium after Tuesday's match.

FC Midtjylland has been given access to surveillance footage where they have identified the supporter.

This means that the perpetrator is not allowed to attend any of FC Midtjylland's matches and events for the next ten years. Neither at home nor away.

The elderly FCN fan was allegedly attacked on a path behind the stadium where he suffered multiple injuries after being punched and kicked repeatedly in the head.
