OB has promoted academy product Vitus Friis to the Superliga first-team squad on a permanent basis after strong showings in training. The young defensive-minded player, who has trained regularly with the seniors, now takes the next step in his career.
Vitus Friis: A Rising Star in OB’s Roster
Friis comes straight from the club’s academy, having previously played for partner clubs Tåsinge fB and SfB/Oure before moving to OB. He has already been in the matchday squad for the last two games, giving him an early taste of the first-team environment.
He is viewed as a versatile option who can operate both as a holding midfielder and as a central defender. Coaches value his composure on the ball, game intelligence, contribution to build-up play, and ability to disrupt opponents. This skill set makes him a valuable asset as OB looks to strengthen its squad for the ongoing season.
According to the club’s sports management, Friis has shown maturity and handled tough internal competition throughout his youth years. His promotion fits a broader strategy of elevating standout U19 players to the first team, following the recent step up by Mads Abrahamsen. This approach not only enhances the team’s depth but also ensures that promising talent like Friis is nurtured and given the opportunity to shine at the highest level.
Friis will wear number 21. His contract runs until the summer of 2027, reflecting the club’s confidence in his potential. As he begins this exciting chapter of his career, fans and supporters are eager to see how he will contribute to OB’s success in the Superliga.
