FC Sønderborg is a Danish football club based in Sønderborg, Southern Jutland. Affiliated to the multiple regional clubs, they currently only feature youth teams. Until 2020, FC Sønderborg had a first team led by manager Kim Poulsen, [1] but the team withdrew from competition citing too little interest from parent clubs in providing senior players. [2]
The vision of FC Sønderborg is to "create an elite environment for U13-U19 players in Sønderborg Municipality," through a cooperation between 11 local clubs with around 2,500 members in total. [3]
In February 2009, FC Sønderborg was founded through a merger of 11 regional teams in order to create an elite youth academy for the under-13 to under-19 talents in Sønderborg Municipality. [4] In 2010, this initiative was extended to the senior teams.
In the fall of 2019, with FC Sønderborg facing relegation from the fifth-tier Jutland Series, manager Kim Poulsen criticised the historical lack of ambition in Sønderborg in creating an environment for divisional football. [5]
The first team withdrew from competition in April 2020, citing lacking interest from parent clubs in providing senior players. [2] Instead, Poulsen stated that the club would focus increasingly on youth development and strengthen cooperation with Danish Superliga club SønderjyskE. [2]
