AGF, a Danish football club, has banned a spectator for two years after identifying them as the individual who made racist remarks during a recent cup semifinal against FC Midtjylland. The club took this action in line with its zero-tolerance policy towards any form of racism. AGF's director Jacob Nielsen stated that such behavior should be eradicated from football, emphasizing that the sport should unite rather than create division.

Nielsen further expressed that attendees who engage in such conduct should not be regarded as fans of AGF. The club is committed to maintaining an inclusive environment at their matches, and the decision to impose a lengthy ban reflects their determination to combat racism in sports. The strong stance taken by AGF is indicative of a broader trend within football to address and eliminate discriminatory practices from the game.

In addition to the ban, Nielsen mentioned that if the offensive remarks lead to a financial penalty from the Danish Football Union (DBU), the club would pursue compensating this cost from the individual responsible for the racist comments. This action underscores AGF's commitment to tackling racism not only through bans but also by holding individuals accountable for their actions, thereby reinforcing their zero-tolerance stance against racism in football.
