Fan reports FC Copenhagen for cancelling his Champions League ticket... because his name didn't sound Danish enough

An FC Copenhagen fan has made a complaint to Danish police after the club cancelled Champions League tickets ordered by supporters with non-Danish sounding names.

'We believe it is a clear breach of racism legislation, of human rights and of the constitution,' Kashif Asmad told TV2 on Tuesday.

The club has said that it implemented the 'security measure' to stop away fans from group rivals Juventus, Galatasaray and Real Madrid mixing with home supporters at the Parken Stadium.

Grounds for complaint? FC Copenhagen's Parken Stadium has strict security rules to try and avoid trouble

Copenhagen host Juventus in their opening Group B game later on Tuesday.

Lawyer Pia Justesen said there was a good chance of securing a conviction against the club under anti-discrimination legislation.

'There is no doubt that, when criteria are set whereby persons with foreign names don’t have the same opportunity to buy tickets, it is discriminatory to ethnic minorities,' she told TV2.

Another Copenhagen fan Masoud Barid also had his ticket cancelled because of his name. He told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet: 'This is the most degrading thing I have ever experienced.

'I have no relationship to any of the three teams Copenhagen are due to play. I just want to go in and support my team.'

However club secretary Daniel Rommedahl denies that Copenhagen are discriminating against their own supporters.

He said: 'Safety is always our main concern when it comes to events at Parken.

'Therefore we make every effort to ensure that fans of our guests only have access to the away section.

'We were fully aware that our decision would cause a reaction, but it was he best solution. We are aware that everyone will not agree, but discrimination it is not.'

Copenhagen host Italian side Juventus in their first game of this season's competition on September 17, and Rommedahl insists that honest fans will still be able to attend, even if their name doesn't sound Danish.

He said: 'If a dialogue with the customer shows otherwise, the purchase will be approved.'
