On 1 July 2019, FC Copenhagen announced, that they had signed Stage from AGF on a five-year contract, [7] after he had rejected several offers from foreign clubs.

According to DR , no major damage was done to the apartment as the fire went out again shortly after it was ignited. [9] AGF's chairman, Jacob Nielsen, stated on AGF's official website that if the perpetrators "are identified and it turns out that the perpetrators have some connection to our fan base, then they will – in addition to a civil sentence – get a lifelong suspension for all AGF's matches".
