Danish club Midtjylland are planning drive-in football for fans when the season returns
The club will set up big screens around the MCH Arena to allow fans to experience the action inside the stadium.
Midtjylland are also set to partner with a local radio station to provide live commentary for the 2,000 cars wanting to participate on matchdays.
The club’s marketing and support director Preben Rokkjaer said in a statement: “In the coming time when we unfortunately have to play the Super League without spectators, we are working hard to create the best possible experience.
“[Drive-in football] will go a long way to giving something back to the region and our many loyal fans.
“We have a stated goal of creating the best stadium experience and coronavirus doesn’t change that, it just provides some other preconditions.
“We are in close dialogue with the police, the Herning Municipality and MCH to create a safe framework and security for everyone.”
The Danish Super League is currently suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Midtjylland adding that further details of drive-in football would be released when they have a return date.
Brian Priske’s side are currently 12 points ahead of second-place FC Copenhagen.
