The team was a result of a merger between ''[[Ikast FS]]'' (which also includes tennis, badminton and handball clubs) and ''Herning Fremad''. FC Midtjylland plays in the [[Danish Superliga]].

==Club history==


The two men wanted to unite the football clubs '''[[Ikast FS]]''' (founded 1935) and '''Herning Fremad''' (founded 1918)&nbsp;– clubs that for decades had been strong rivals, but had never played any significant role in Danish football. Ikast FS had some success in the late 1970s and '80s and made three [[Danish Cup]] final appearances, but had never been a top team in the Danish league. At least ten years had passed with the two clubs being unable to agree on a merger, but on 6 April 1999, a deal was finalised and announced at a press conference the next day.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Flatau |first1=Line |title=FC Midtjyllands stormfulde vej til toppen |url=https://www.tvmidtvest.dk/herning/fc-midtjyllands-stormfulde-vej-til-toppen |website=tvmidtvest.dk |publisher=[[TV Midtvest]] |access-date=23 July 2020 |date=22 May 2018 |archive-date=27 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127053812/https://www.tvmidtvest.dk/herning/fc-midtjyllands-stormfulde-vej-til-toppen |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="20-år-hf">{{cite web |last1=Kristiansen |first1=Kenneth |title=20 år med FCM: I begyndelsen var Ove P. |url=https://www.herningfolkeblad.dk/artikel/6a96cc92-a4f5-4afd-9d10-4e7110b196fb/ |website=herningfolkeblad.dk |publisher=[[Herning Folkeblad]] |access-date=23 July 2020 |date=19 June 2019 |archive-date=2 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210602220127/https://www.herningfolkeblad.dk/artikel/6a96cc92-a4f5-4afd-9d10-4e7110b196fb/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The club is the result of a merger between Ikast FS and Herning Fremad. Midtjylland competes in the Danish Superliga, which they have won four times, most recently in 2024.

Midtjylland is known as one of the best football clubs in Jutland. Having had international stars playing for the club, such as Jonas Borring and Pione Sisto. Midtjylland also has the oldest and one of the best and most respected football academies in Scandinavia. The academy has produced multiple Danish national team players, such as Simon Kjær, Joachim Andersen, and Rasmus Kristensen.

Club history

[edit]
Stadium of FC Midtjylland. MCH Arena

FC Midtjylland was founded by Johnny Rune, a carpenter and owner of a private business in the wood-supply industry, and Steen Hessel, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.[1]

The two men wanted to unite the football clubs Ikast FS (founded 1935) and Herning Fremad (founded 1918) – clubs that for decades had been strong rivals, but had never played any significant role in Danish football. Ikast FS had some success in the late 1970s and '80s and made three Danish Cup final appearances, but had never been a top team in the Danish league. At least ten years had passed with the two clubs being unable to agree on a merger, but on 6 April 1999, a deal was finalised and announced at a press conference the next day.[2][3]

In 2000, Midtjylland were promoted to the top-flight Danish Superliga after a season in which the team had gathered more points than any other team in the history of the first division.

In July 2014, Matthew Benham (owner of English club Brentford) became the majority shareholder of Midtjylland's parent company FCM Holding.[4] In the 2014–15 season, they won the Danish football championship for the first time. Later on, they won two league titles in 2017–18 and 2019–20, then qualified to the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in their history.[5]

During a celebration of the inauguration of the club's new FCM House, Dream 99 on 15 August 2023, it was announced that HEARTLAND, holding company for the Danish clothing chain Bestseller, purchased Benham's shares and became majority owner of the club, as well as Portuguese side C.D. Mafra. It was also announced that FCM would embark with a women's football program in 2024.[6] On the final matchday of the championship round in the 2023–24 season, Midtjylland clinched their fourth Superliga title by just one point, following a 3–3 home draw against Silkeborg, as rivals Brøndby lost 3–2 at home against AGF.[7]

Scouting and developing

[edit]

Midtjylland have built a reputation of finding and developing promising talents, and have a highly regarded youth academy.[8]

In July 2004, Midtjylland was the first Danish club to establish their own football academy, similar to that of French side Nantes.[9] The academy attracts players from throughout Denmark, as well as players from FC Ebedei, a partnering club in Nigeria. The club has developed a network of over 100 clubs located in the western part of Jutland.[10]

In 2008, Danish centre-back Simon Kjær, a talent of the academy, was sold to Palermo for a transfer fee of approximately DKK30 million (€4 million).[11] In 2010, Sune Kiilerich, another talent of the academy, was sold to Sampdoria, while Winston Reid, an academy product and New Zealand international, was sold to West Ham United for DKK32 million (€4.26 million).[12][13] In 2016, vice-captain Erik Sviatchenko was sold for £1.5 million to Celtic.[14]

Other notable sales of academy products include Pione Sisto to Celta Vigo, Rasmus Nissen to Ajax, Andreas Poulsen to Borussia Mönchengladbach and Mikkel Duelund to Dynamo Kyiv.

Stadium

[edit]

In 2004, the team moved to a new stadium in Herning with a capacity of 11,432 spectators. Midtjylland was the first Danish club to sell the stadium naming rights to a sponsor, resulting in the name "SAS Arena" which has since been changed to MCH Arena. The stadium's opening match was on 27 March; it proved to be a success, with Midtjylland beating AB 6–0. Five of the goals were scored by Egyptian striker Mohamed Zidan.

On 22 June 2022, the club started an expansion of MCH Arena that would add a new hospitality lounge and 11 new VIP boxes. The expansion increased the total capacity by 720 seats, taking the capacity from 11,432 to a total of 12,152. The expansion was completed in March 2024.

Supporters

[edit]

Black Wolves is the official fanclub of FC Midtjylland.[15] It was founded in the beginning of August 1999, as the official fanclub of Ikast FS 1993 "Yellow Flames" changed their name at an extraordinary general meeting. Ultra Boys Midtjylland is the first unofficial faction in Midtjylland, established in 2007 and later renamed Ultras Midtjylland. In 2014, Midtjylland got its second unofficial faction, a youth faction called Midtjylland Ungdom. As of today, there are three unofficial factions: Zartow, Chaos Crew, and Midtjylland Ungdom. Collectively, all FC Midtjylland supporters go under the name of Hedens Drenge.

Hedens Drenge is currently Midtjylland's largest fan-based social media account, with a following of around 11,000 on Instagram and Facebook combined.

The club's main rival is Viborg FF. This rivalry is often referred to as The Battle of the Heath, The Battle of Hatred, and The Derby of Midtjylland. The derby is claimed to be the second biggest in Denmark behind that of FC København and Brøndby IF.
