Football is one of the most-viewed sports in the world and just like the top football leagues have a cup competition that’s contested by every team in the country, the Danish Cup is contested by clubs from all football tiers in the county. The Danish Cup, also known as Sydbank Polken as a result of the sponsors, Sydbank, is a recognized cup competition in Denmark Football. The official Danish FA governs the Danish cup and this cup since its inception in 1955.
This article covers all you need to know about the Danish Cup. It gives an in-depth preview of the upcoming Danish Cup season as well as covers football statistics, top football betting tips predictions, and more which you can use as a guide to place your bets on top bookie sites.
The recently concluded 2021-2022 Danish Cup season is the 68th edition of the much cherished local competition. 104 teams compete for the trophy each season and the winner of the Danish Cup each season is given a free pass to the UEFA Europa League Play-off rounds of the following season.
A strong knowledge of whatever football competition you’re willing to bet on is essential. It is not a guarantee you will win your bets but it positions you better for winnings as you’re not just blindly placing bets.
In this segment, I will provide you with a structured overview of the Danish Cup, how it’s run, and the qualification basis. The 2021-2022 season of the Danish cup kicked off in August 2021 and ended on May 22, 2022.
The winner of the recently concluded edition was FC Midtjylland after beating Odense Boldklub. The game ended goalless at the end of extra time. However, OB lost the game through penalties. About 23,328 were in attendance to witness the final which was played in Brondby Stadium, Brondbyvester. This triumph meant it was just the second time fC Midjtjylland won the Danish Cup.
The final cup tie is always played before the final game week of the regular league leaving the finalists to discover their fate before the final league game. Aarhus Gymnastikforening, AGF is the most successful club in the competition having won 9 of 11 finals.
The Denmark DBU Pokalen is the local name for the Denmark cup and is run by the Danish FA. As mentioned earlier, 104 teams compete for the cup every season in knockout stages over 13 game weeks. The 104 teams are introduced in 3 stages. 92 teams from all tiers of Danish football contest in the first round of the cup competitions in knockout matches. The winners of the matchups then qualify for the second round where they are joined by six other teams. Again, the winners of the second round qualify for the third round where the top 6 teams of the previous season of Danish Superliga–the highest tier of the Danish Football join in.
Each of the participating teams registers their first team for the competition and games are played in a one-off round. There is no seeding but the teams with the lowest positions from the previous seasons are favored with the much-cherished home team advantage. This means all the higher-placed teams from the previous teams have to travel to their opponent’s stadium and survive the hostile away atmosphere. However, the semi-finals stage of the cup is two-legged which gives all 4 teams a home advantage.
Any football match that ends in a tie during regular time goes to extra time and then to penalties if both teams fail to win. Bear in mind that the winner of the cup qualifies for the UEFA Europa Playoffs round for the following season.
Here are the most successful teams in order of Danish Cups won:
With a record of 9 titles, AGF remains the most successful team in the Denmark Cup. They however exited the 2021-2022 Danish cup season in the second round after losing to Kjellerup by 2 goals to one. FC Copenhagen and Brondu IF follow with 7 and 6 titles respectively.
Lirim Qamili of AC Horsens was the highest goal scorer of the 2021-2022 season with 5 goals while Joel Andersson of the eventual winners, FC Midtjylland was the top assister of the competition.
