AGF have issued a detailed safety warning ahead of their Champions League qualifying match against Lech Poznań, with the club highlighting strict Polish laws and extensive security measures for visiting supporters.
The return leg will be played at Enea Stadion on Wednesday, July 29, at 19:00 local time. AGF travel to Poland facing a three-goal deficit after Lech won the opening match 4–1, as confirmed by Lech Poznań’s report from the first leg.
Club colours discouraged in the city
Supporters have been advised to exercise caution while moving around Poznań and to avoid wearing AGF shirts, scarves or other merchandise in the city, except when travelling to or attending the match.
The warning does not prohibit club colours inside the stadium, as suggested in the original account. Instead, it is intended to reduce the risk of confrontation away from the controlled matchday areas.

According to AGF’s official information for travelling supporters, the advice was issued alongside guidance received from the Danish Embassy in Poland.
Pyrotechnics could lead to prison
The most serious part of the warning concerns Polish legislation on pyrotechnics at mass gatherings.
Bringing, possessing or setting off flares, smoke bombs and similar devices at or near sporting events is a criminal offence. The embassy’s translated warning states: “The offence is punishable by substantial fines, stadium bans or imprisonment from three months to five years.”
Polish police have previously demonstrated that the legislation is actively enforced. In November 2025, 11 people were arrested for carrying flares and other pyrotechnics at a match in Wrocław. According to the local police report, those involved faced potential prison sentences of up to five years.

AGF have also reminded supporters that any offence will be handled under Polish law. The Danish authorities would therefore have limited ability to intervene in criminal proceedings.
Police restrict travel to the stadium
AGF supporters have been asked to gather at Stary Rynek, Poznań’s old market square, before walking approximately 500 metres to the designated bus departure point at Aleje Marcinkowskiego.
The buses will leave for Enea Stadion at 16:30. Polish police will not allow large groups of visiting supporters to walk the five-kilometre route from the city centre, while tram travel is not recommended because of renovation work.
Return transport will be available after the game. A bus ticket covering both journeys costs DKK 30 and must be purchased through MobilePay.

Sold-out away section faces strict controls
AGF’s allocation of 2,000 tickets has sold out, according to the club’s ticket announcement. The full away section has space for approximately 2,100 supporters.
All tickets must include the holder’s correct first and last name and be connected to a unique email address. Supporters are advised to bring their passports for identification at the entrance.
The away section opens at 17:30. Bags are generally prohibited, cameras are not allowed and visiting supporters will be kept inside the stadium for approximately 30 minutes after the final whistle.
AGF’s fan liaison manager will travel to Poznań, while the club has also arranged access to a local law firm should supporters require legal assistance.
