FC Midtjylland History
Johnny Rune, a carpenter who also had a private business in the wood supply industry, and Steen Hessel, a Mercedes-Benz salesman with a dealer’s license, were the founders of FC Midtjylland. Ikast FS (1935) and Herning Fremad (1918), two football teams who had a long history of competing against one another but had never made a significant contribution to the field of Danish sport, were the targets of the two men’s efforts to merge into a single entity.
Ikast FS has never had a team that was considered to be among the best in the Danish league, although having some success in the late 1970s and early 1980s as well as three trips to the Danish Cup final. When on April 6, 1999, a deal was eventually made between the two teams, which was unveiled at a press conference the following day, they had been unable to come to terms on a merger for at least ten years prior to that day.
Due to the fact that Midtjylland racked up more points in a single campaign than any other side in the annals of the first division’s history, the club was elevated to the Superliga in the year 2000. In July of 2014, the owner of Brentford, Matthew Benham, acquired a majority position in FCM Holding, the company that is the parent of Midtjylland.
The 2014–2015 season was the first time they won the Danish football championship. Later on, they were victorious in their respective leagues in 2017–18 and 2019–20, and in 2020–21, they qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the very first time in their organization’s existence.
