Royal League-semifinal against Helsingborgs IF

04/03 2007 22:39

In the draw for the semifinals in Royal League, F.C. Copenhagen were paired with Helsingborgs IF. The game will be played in PARKEN, Thursday afternoon at 16.55 (4.55 PM).

The other semifinal is between Brøndby and OB Odense, so for the first time in Royal League-history, the same country has three teams among the last four.

F.C. Copenhagen and Helsingborg have never met in an official game, but have played some friendlies during the years. Among them was one in the summer of 2000, which ended 3-3 at Olympia Stadion in Helsingborg, and the later Copenhagen-striker Álvaro Santos, now in French Sochaux, was double goalscorer for Helsingborg on that occasion.
