FC NORDSJÆLLAND
FC Nordsjælland (FCN) is the first professional club within the Right to Dream community. It’s a club with a well-regarded culture rooted in a desire to develop young talent while building a distinctive style of play and philosophy, making them the ideal platform for many of our graduates to take their first steps into professional football.
From Mohammed Kudus and Kathrine Kuhl, who made their debuts at just 18 and 16, to Daniel Svensson, Conrad Harder, Ibrahim Osman, and Emilia Ásgeirsdóttir, who began their journeys at the academies before moving to FCN first teams then joining top clubs across the world, FCN has consistently provided a platform for many of our graduates to kick-start their careers at a very young age.
Between April 2018 and March 2023, FC Nordsjælland gave 41 players under the age of 20 their professional debut, setting a new standard for youth integration in football.
In 2023/24, FCN men’s team played European football, reaching the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage, a reflection of the club’s growing presence on the international stage.
The club’s success isn’t limited to the men’s team. In 2017, FC Nordsjælland invested in its women's football program, launching its girls' academy, the first of its kind in Denmark, along with a professional senior women’s team. The academy quickly proved integral to the success that followed for the FCN professional women's team, who earned back-to-back promotions in their first two seasons, finishing third in the Danish Kvindeliga and winning the 2020 Danish Cup. The team secured a historic domestic double in the 2023-24 season.
But FCN's impact goes far beyond the results. Its values and purpose deeply align with Right to Dream’s. In 2017, FCN became the first club to join Common Goal, further demonstrating their commitment to using football to make a positive impact in the world.
“To help the next generation of players realize their potential is an equal amount of hard work, dedication and passion. Our environment and holistic view on what it takes makes us unique, and we are proud to be part of the Right to Dream community."
