"It's always good when more people can follow us," a club representative said about the TV broadcast. "We look forward to playing in front of a full stadium and showing our football."
Fans who cannot be there in person can follow the entire match on TV4. The club is also encouraging support at the ground to create a strong atmosphere. After the GAIS match, a league break follows before the next fixture away to IF Brommapojkarna on October 18.
