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.

Fans are celebrating the promotion with genuine pride, many pointing out how quickly the women's team has climbed through the divisions. But the "Mickey Mouse" comment has landed hard. Plenty of supporters are now asking the same question: will the club back this team properly in the top flight, or is the promotion just a nice headline? One thread sums it up well.
