Claus Juhl Jorgensen (FC Copenhagen) – Implementing biometrics at Parken Stadium

The ESSMA Safety & Security Workshop in Copenhagen also provided a focused look at how biometric technology can enhance stadium security in practice. F.C. Copenhagen showcased a targeted approach, using facial recognition specifically to enforce stadium bans while maintaining a smooth fan experience. By combining technology with strong human oversight and clear governance, the system improves both efficiency and accuracy in security operations. The case highlights how innovation, when applied with precision and responsibility, can strengthen safety without compromising trust.
