Vellinge FFGround: Vellinge Idrottsplats Visits: 1 Date: 19th May 2023 Match: Vellinge FF - Malmö City 2-0 (Division 4 Skåne Sydvästra) Attendance: 81 Two years ago I was in Vellinge for Vellinge IF v Malmö City. Upon arrival I was notified the fixture had been moved from the main pitch to the nearby artificial pitch, Vellinge IP - Östranplan. I was a bit disappointed but when Vellinge FF were promoted to Division 4 at the end of last season I decided to watch one of their games and thereby tick off the main pitch as well. I wanted to attend the Vellinge derby in April but I was busy with table-tennis that weekend. With this weekend being a long weekend in Sweden I decided to revisit Vellinge IP on Friday evening for Vellinge FF v Malmö City. This time I knew the main pitch would be used and I was looking forward to finally tick it off. The main pitch has running tracks and is not the best for football. At least it is a grass pitch though! Anyway, it was quite a nice evening for football and as most of those present I decided to watch from the east side where you were warmed by the sun. Once the sun was obstructed by trees it was quite cold. On the pitch Vellinge FF made it 1-0 with a great free-kick. A few minutes later it was 2-0 from the penalty spot. Some of the players in Malmö City were quite upset about the referee´s performance but that only resulted in several yellow cards (and one red) for the visitors. It ended 2-0 to Vellinge FF and as I left the ground I was quite pleased having been at the main pitch at Vellinge IP as well.
