"Thanks for the loophole," read one of the banners displayed by AIK supporters in their opening game of the season against BK Häcken.

The Swedish club's ultras have spotted a way to get around new anti-hooligan legislation banning face masks – by wearing niqabs.

Religious face coverings are exempt from the new law, which was passed in January and enacted in March under the guidance of Anders Ygeman, interior secretary in Sweden's government.

The AIK ultras' named Ygeman specifically in their  display of gratitude for the loophole, and held aloft other messages, reading: "Freedom for ultras is the ultimate goal.

"AIK's ultras mean well. We're now wearing masks for religious reasons."
