Stockholm police will utilize drone technology for camera surveillance surrounding Sunday’s Allsvenskan derby between Djurgården and Hammarby at the 3 arena. The operation, scheduled from 10:00 to 20:00, will extend to areas including Södermalm and Hötorget in central Stockholm.
The increased security measure aims to proactively address potential crime and aid in investigations should incidents occur during the high-profile match.

The derby, kicking off at 14:00, pits Djurgården against second-placed Hammarby in the 23rd round of Allsvenskan. Authorities have not specified the exact nature of potential threats prompting the surveillance, but the use of drones signals a heightened security posture for the event.
