Women's team promoted to top flight
FC Copenhagen Women have secured promotion to the A-Ligaen for the first time in the club's history. A 4–1 win over Thisted FC sealed it (2). This is a landmark moment – the women's side will compete in Denmark's top division next season.
But behind the celebrations, there is tension. Sources within the setup have described the operation as a "Mickey Mouse-setup," warning that the team is being underprioritized by the club despite the on-pitch success (3). The promotion is real, but so are the questions about whether the infrastructure matches the ambition.
