About Midtjylland
FC Midtjylland are Denmark's most dominant football club of the modern era, a Herning-based outfit founded in 1999 through the merger of Ikast FS and Herning Fremad that have redefined what a provincial Danish club can achieve. Their data-driven approach to recruitment, inspired by the Moneyball model, has brought them multiple Superliga titles and memorable Champions League appearances, including a group-stage debut in 2020 to 2021 when they beat Liverpool at Anfield. The Wolves from Herning are the defining club of 21st-century Danish football. Founded in 1999, FC Midtjylland are based in Herning, Jutland, and compete in the Danish Superliga. They play at MCH Arena. The club are nicknamed Ulvene (The Wolves). Major honours include multiple Danish Superliga titles and Danish Cup wins. Their home colours are red and black. The red and black home kit of Midtjylland carries the colours of both founding clubs, a visual merger of two proud Jutland identities. The strip has been worn through the club's extraordinary rise to becoming the definitive force in Danish football. Hummel, the Danish sportswear brand, have been a major kit manufacturer for the club and have produced sharp, clean designs in red and black. The kits worn during the 2020 to 2021 Champions League campaign, including the famous night when they beat Liverpool at Anfield, are the most cherished in the club's short but remarkable history.
