DBU has finalized agreements with five of nine football centers

The Danish Football Association (DBU) has secured agreements for four new regional football centers, adding to the national training center in Høje-Taastrup. This expansion is part of the "Hele Danmarks Klubhus" (The Whole of Denmark's Clubhouse) initiative, designed to foster stronger communities centered around football.

DBU Chairman Jesper Møller expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, "It shows that there is great support for the vision of creating stronger communities for children and young people through football." He added that the centers will serve as open and inspiring meeting points for the entire local community, enhancing well-being and togetherness among youth.

Agreements have been reached with Vejen, Silkeborg, and Guldborgsund municipalities, following an earlier deal with Aalborg. These regional centers will act as hubs for clubs, schools, and institutions, facilitating activities, learning, and development with football as the focal point. DBU aims to finalize agreements for centers in Odense, Rønne, Copenhagen, and Holstebro by the end of 2026.

The "Hele Danmarks Klubhus" initiative has secured 1.4 billion Danish kroner in funding. Major contributions come from the AP Møllerske Stiftelse, Lego Foundation, Lars Larsen Group, and AP Ejendomme, with Scandic Hotels and Høje-Taastrup Municipality serving as partners. DBU envisions these centers as a crucial step towards making Denmark the best country in the world to be a child.
