During a Swedish Cup match between GAIS and Landskrona Bois, GAIS supporters reportedly remained silent and did not display flags or banners in protest against police presence on the stands. According to reports, the police were positioned on both standing sections of the stadium, leading the supporter group GAIS TIFO to announce on Instagram that they would not conduct any active supporter activities as long as police were on their stands. Parts of the crowd left the match as a result.
GAIS security chief Erik Bergkvist stated that the decision came with short notice and was unfortunate for the atmosphere, though police chief Daniel Norlander explained it was part of a long-term strategy to establish police as a natural part of football stands, aiming to prevent crime and ensure safety. Police spokesperson Fredrik Svedemyr noted the match was calm, and GAIS declined to comment during the game.
