The city of Aarhus are planning a huge party Sunday to celebrate that local team AGF won the Danish Championship title for the first time in 40 years with one round left to play.

Aarhus already turned into a big party scene in the wake of AGF winning the Danish Championship title on Sunday via a 2-0 win away against Brondby. With one round left to play, AGF are four points ahead of FC Midtjylland and can no longer be caught at the top of the Danish table. 

Now Aarhus plans to continue the celebrations when AGF play their last match of the season, when they face Viborg in the luxury of their own temporary stadium in Vejlby. 

In addition to Tivoli Friheden and Ceres Park Vejlby, Aarhus fans and other AGF supporters can experience Sunday's match on the big screen at Tangkrogen, where there will be a party and celebration as the AGF squad is set to visit later in the evening. 

You need a ticket for the big screen viewing, but after the match, the place is open to everyone. 

Several local artists are set to participate; Roya and Saint Clara will get the party going, while Zar Paolo will close the party after the players have been saluted on stage. 

Aarhus' unofficial prince, Thomas Helmig, is not part of the music program. He will, however, play 'Malaga' at Ceres Park Vejlby shortly before the match starts at 18.00 CET. 

55.000 people are expected for the celebrations. On Monday, the players will be saluted and celebrated at City Hall in Aarhus.
