Birthed in the closing moments of the 20th century, FC Midtjylland, a Danish outfit, calls MCH Arena in Denmark its domicile port of call for many a footballing encounter since 1999. A ragtag ensemble of 27 players, all averaging around the tender age of 24, don the club's colours with an enviable mix of youthful exuberance and promise.
In the ongoing season, the Danish squadron has dipped toes into the water of four strikingly distinct competitions, stamping their presence with varying degrees of success. Across the patchwork quilt of the football calendar, Midtjylland have been plying their trade in the Superliga, where they currently perch on the second rung of the ladder. An expressive run in the DBU Pokalen, the oldest football tournament in Denmark, has seen them advance onto the semi-finals stage. Swerving away from domestic spoils, the side has rubbed shoulders with rivals across the continent, reaching the play-offs in the Europa League Qualifiers before succumbing in the Last 16 of the main Europa League draw.
