Right. That's what I thought he was saying. My Danish is not that bad, apparently... ;-) (the words 'berygtede fraktioner' are similar to the Dutch 'beruchte fractie', which means 'notorious fraction' and the word 'politiet' is not too hard to recognize either).

I know there was some trouble at the time in 2001: some nutters went spare on the ferry from Germany to Denmark (most of them were arrested and never made it to the game) and there was some fighting outside of a pub on the Strøget (forgot which one, but it had a sort of purple/blue facade with big black letters). There were some fights, although I think there was trouble with the police mainly (not really with FCK fans).

A little bit of background... A few years ago a group of fanatical Ajax supporters started an independent brand of fanwear, because they felt that the official Ajax merchandise was sh*t and too expensive. The name of this brand of clothing is AFCA (http://www.afca.nl/), which means, quite simply, 'Amsterdamse Football Club Ajax'.

This brand of clothing is worn by fanatical Ajax fans, including (but not exclusively) certain violent fractions. Especially the marine blue hooded sweater with white letters on it was very popular when it was first introduced. If there's trouble with Ajax fans, you'll see a lot of those sweaters and it's understandable that some people link the abbreviation 'AFCA' with hooliganism. But 'AFCA' is just an independent brand of fanwear. Not everyone wearing it is a hooligan.

'AFCA' is an ordinary abbreviation of the club name, just like 'BIF' for Brøndby or 'NUFC' for Newcastle United. It's too universal and you really can't draw any conclusions. I am not a hooligan and I don't like violence.
