The
2000 UEFA Cup Final Riots, also known as the
Battle of Copenhagen, were a series of
riots in
City Hall Square in
Copenhagen, Denmark, between fans of English football team
Arsenal and
Turkish side
Galatasaray around the
2000 UEFA Cup Final on 17 May 2000. The scuffles, in which four people were stabbed, also involved fans from other clubs and were viewed by the media as part of a retaliation for the killing of two
Leeds United fans by Galatasaray supporters the month before.
