Chants and songs are a regular part of attending soccer games, and that's no exception at super league club AGF.

However, at Ceres Park, where dedicated AGF fans gather, children under 15 are not allowed.

But now, AGF is creating a zone for 10 to 14-year-olds, where they can join in the cheers and chants without their parents present.

This area is called 'Youth Zone' and will be open on select home games.

According to fan engagement manager at AGF, Jonas Labich, the youth zone is for younger fans who want to sing and cheer like the dedicated AGF fans, but are not old enough for the general cheering section, where the age limit is 15.

- We think it could be really great to create new frameworks for how young people can go to the stadium in a safe and secure way and contribute to a community where they can meet each other, says Jonas Labich.

Strictly Enforced Boundaries

'Youth Zone' will be located on Ceres Park's family tribune and is also close to the cheering section, where the volume is particularly high. AGF personnel and security guards will be present in the youth zone during the games.

Therefore, parents can feel secure in sending their children to the Youth Zone, thinks Jonas Labich.

- If some people feel that it's inappropriate for their children to be alone at the stadium, we encourage parents at AGF to sit in the family tribune, where they can watch their children throughout the game, he says.

The special youth tribune opens for the first time on October 21, when AGF hosts Brøndby.
