F.C. Copenhagen’s women secured a place in Denmark’s top division for next season with a 4-1 away win over FC Thy/ThistedQ on Saturday, completing a second straight promotion just two years after the team launched in 2024.
The step up was briefly delayed a week by a draw against Østerbro IF, but there was no doubt in Thisted as Copenhagen pulled away for a decisive victory. Head coach Kasper Klarskov expressed pride and relief, noting the sustained pressure of a two-year push and praising his players for keeping their composure at the key moment despite some spring setbacks. He highlighted the squad’s quality and depth as central to the achievement.
Looking Ahead: Goals for the Upcoming Season
Attention now turns to building for the top flight. The immediate objective is to consolidate at that level, with the ambition of establishing a foothold in the top six to start. For now, the team and staff plan to enjoy the milestone, especially those who have been part of the project from the beginning.
Copenhagen still have one match left this season: June 13 at 14:00 against FC Midtjylland at Vanløse Idrætspark. With a win, they can finish on level terms at the top of the table, offering a fitting finish before the top division campaign begins in late July. Klarskov also welcomed the prospect of entering more games as underdogs next season, believing it could free the team to play with even greater intent.
The future looks bright for F.C. Copenhagen’s women as they prepare to take on new challenges. With their recent success and a strong foundation built over the past two years, expectations will be high. Fans and players alike are eager to see how the team will perform in Denmark’s top division, bringing excitement and hope for a successful season ahead.
