FC Midtjylland's training ground has been vandalized ahead of Monday's crucial derby in the Danish Superliga against Viborg.

When FC Midtjylland players turned up for today's training in Ikast ahead of tomorrow's derby against the rivals from Viborg FF, they were met by an appalling sight as the training ground had been vandalized overnight, supposedly by fans from Viborg.

The building 'Dream 99' was painted over with green paint. FC Midtjylland's slogan "Those who give up getting better, stop being good" was colored in green according to TV 2 Sport.

On the building where FC Midtjylland players have their dressing rooms, eat, and hang out, various messages had been sprayed across a wall. The messages said, "Hader FCM" ("Hate FCM") and "1896" with reference to Viborg FF's history. The goalposts on a goal at the training facility were also colored green.

This morning, steps had been taken to get things in order. FC Midtjylland did not wish to comment on the matter.
