FCK acknowledged the severity of the penalty, describing it as the most extensive sanction to date. The affected matches will be against Lyngby on July 27 and Sønderjyske on August 31. The club stated on its website that it recognizes the far-reaching nature of the punishment based on the specific incidents.
