Known as “Ulvene” (The Wolves), FC Midtjylland Socolive combines modern tactics, smart analytics, and a fierce competitive spirit to dominate Danish football and beyond.
A Young Club with Big Dreams
FC Midtjylland was founded relatively recently, in 1999, through a merger between two clubs—Ikast FS and Herning Fremad. From the beginning, the club had a bold vision: to build a strong football institution that could compete at the highest level of Danish football.
Despite being a young club by European standards, Midtjylland quickly climbed the ranks and earned promotion to the Danish Superliga in 2000. Since then, the club has never looked back.
Innovation Meets Success
What truly sets FC Midtjylland apart is its commitment to data-driven performance and analytics-based decision-making. The club has been a European pioneer in using statistical models to scout players, design tactics, and optimize set pieces—earning them international recognition.
This revolutionary approach, combined with strong youth development and scouting networks, has helped them punch above their weight and challenge the traditional Danish giants like FC Copenhagen and Brøndby.
