FC Copenhagen won't sell you Champs League tickets if your name doesn't sound Danish.

Are you a fan of FC Copenhagen? (DUH!!) Want to go see them play at home in the Champions League? (What fan wouldn't?!?) Have a last name that doesn't "sound Danish"? Then you can take your ass to the visitors seats! Story via ESPNFC.

The Danish side have been drawn against Galatasaray, Juventus and Real Madrid in Group B of the Champions League, but supporters, according to newspaper Ekstrabladet, have been angered by a new club policy.

It is claimed that, for "security reasons", fans with non-Danish sounding names who bought three-match packages for their home games have seen the tickets cancelled.

"Safety is always our main concern when it comes to events at Parken (stadium). Therefore we make every effort to ensure that fans of our guests only have access to the away section," FC Copenhagen club secretary Daniel Rommedahl is quoted as saying by Reuters.

To be fair the story does go on to say that fans can call the Front Office and work the issue out if their last name doesn't happen to end in "en". No seriously almost all Danish people's last names end in "en". Go see for yourself.

Regardless of whether you can work out the confusion with the team or not, on the surface this seems like a really bad PR move. But then again would anyone be talking about FC Copenhagen otherwise? Is this actually a genius PR move hidden in slightly xenophobic stereotypes? .....touche FCK. Touche.
