History

Viborg Fodsports Forening was established on 1 April 1896.[2] The club originally encompassed several sports, includingcricket,gymnastics,boxing, and others. Football was not initially a sport included within the club; however, the club wonMesterrækken in 1924, which was highest football league on theJutland peninsula in Denmark at the time. By 1929, as other sports had separated into other independent organizations, football remained as the club's only sport. For the next several decades, the club maintained an amateur status and competed in regional leagues, until joining the Danish 4th division in 1959 following promotion after several attempts.Erik Bundgaard was one player involved in the club's achievement, and his 421 matches played for the club were a record until 2008, whenJakob Glerup surpassed his mark.[2]

During the 1970s, Viborg FF was again relegated to the lower divisions of Danish football before returning to the 4th division.[2] Since this time, the club has stayed within the upper tiers ofthe Danish football pyramid. Following several promotions, the club found itself in theDanish 1st Division, which was the highest level of professional football within Denmark at the time. After only one season, the club were relegated to the 2nd Division once more and would not return until 1989. Following an investment into youth football, the club once more returned to the top league in the country, theDanish Superliga, which had been created in 1991. Once more, however, the club were relegated after only one season once more. In 1995, the club again returned to the Superliga where they would remain for more than a decade.

Viborg FF's highest achievement came during the1999–2000 Danish Cup. With a 1–0 victory overAaB in the final, the club won the biggest football tournament in the country.[3] The club was given the opportunity to play in theDanish Super Cup in the season following their cup win, defeatingHerfølge BK onpenalties. The club received an invitation to theUEFA Cup for the2000–01 tournament, marking their participation in continental football for the first time in the club's history. Their participation would be short-lived however, as they were eliminated in the second round by Spanish clubRayo Vallecano.[4] The same season, the club established full-time professional contracts for all its playing staff.[2] By 2002, Viborg FF had fully established a youth academy of their own inFK Viborg.[5]

While Viborg FF continued to enjoy varying degrees of success in the years after, including a 4th place finish in2005–06, the club was once again relegated in the spring of 2008. After several more years in the 1st Division, the club became ayo-yo club for the next several years with two promotions and two more relegations between the 2012–13 and the 2016–17 seasons. The club captured their fourth 1st Division title during the2020–21 season and once more returned to the Superliga. Their first season back in the Superliga proved to be successful as the club reached theUEFA Conference League, after defeating AaB in aEuropean play-off match. The club advanced to the play-off round following victories over Lithuan clubFK Sūduva[4] and Faroese-sideB36 Tórshavn,[6] before losing 6–1 on aggregate to eventual-tournament winnerWest Ham United.[7] As of the2024–25 season, the club remains in the top-flight.

Main article:Viborg Stadium

Viborg plays its home matches at Viborg Stadium, known as Energi Viborg Arena since 2011 due to sponsorship.[8] Originally built in 1931, the stadium was demolished and rebuilt in 2001[9] at a cost of 62.1 millionDanish kroner (93.8 million DKK in 2023).[10] The stadium has a capacity of 10,000, of which 9,566 is seated. The seats are divided in multiple sections with the eastern stand having the highest capacity at 2,792 seats, and the southern stand with the lowest capacity at 2,040 seats. The pitch size is the same dimensions as thenational stadium at 105 metres (115 yd) long and 68 metres (74 yd) wide.[11]UEFA, the governing body of football in Europe, has approved the stadium for international use, and the stadium is also home to theDanish women's national football team. Themen's national team has also played select matches at the ground.[12]

Viborg Stadium itself is part of the Viborg Stadion Center and is owned by theViborg Municipality.[9]

Supporters

[edit]

Viborg FF has no official Fanclub. A former official Fanclub is The Green Pride.[13] It closed in June 2024 however.[14] Previously it was one of the largest in Denmark with over 500 members. There is a small continuation of The Green Pride active in Viborg to this day.

The first ultra group was established in2002, when a group of young adults established Fanatikos.[13] In 2004 a new group, Shamrock Ultras, was born.[13]

Their main rival isFC Midtjylland and the game is called "Hadets Opgør" (The Battle of Hatred) or "det midtjyske derby" (Central Jutland Derby).Viborg fans, see themselves as being the true Central Jutlanders and most Viborg fans are annoyed by the fact that FC Midtjylland call themselves FC Midtjylland (FC Central Jutland) with the fans often calling FCM "FC Vestjylland" (FC Western Jutland).[15][16]The derby can also be seen as a battle between traditional football and modern football.
