  • A municipally funded children's football tournament on Blågårds Plads has drawn sharp criticism after children shot at politicians depicted with devil horns.
  • The Nørrebro Local Committee has distanced itself from the event, calling it "stupid and regrettable."
  • The incident has put the future of the funding for such events in question.

A children's football tournament on Blågårds Plads, supported by municipal funds, has become the center of controversy due to an activity that allowed children to shoot at a large dartboard featuring top politicians and business figures. The event, intended to promote youth football, instead drew sharp criticism for its "stupid and regrettable" choice of target.

The Nørrebro Local Committee has publicly distanced itself from the controversial activity, stating that the "stupid and regrettable" choice of depicting politicians as targets has overshadowed the tournament's intended purpose. This stance puts the future of the municipal funding for such events in doubt.

While the football tournament aimed to engage the local youth, the dartboard activity, which included images of politicians with devil horns, has sparked outrage and calls for accountability. The incident has raised questions about the judgment of the event organizers and the oversight of public funds used for community activities.
