FC Midtjylland (, "Central Jutland") is a professional Danish football team from Herning and Ikast in the Western part of Jutland. The team was a result of a merger between ''Ikast FS'' (which also includes tennis, badminton and handball clubs) and ''Herning Fremad''. FC Midtjylland plays in the Danish Superliga, and won the national league for the first time in 2015. ==Club history== FC Midtjylland was founded by Johnny Rune, a carpenter and owner of a private business in the wood-supply industry, and Steen Hessel, an authorized Mercedes Benz dealer. The two men wanted to unite the football clubs Ikast FS (founded 1935) and Herning Fremad (founded 1918) – clubs that for decades had been strong rivals, but had never played any significant role in Danish football. Ikast FS had some success in the late 70s and 80s, but that was about it. At least 10 years had passed with the two clubs being unable to agree on a merger, but on 6 April 1999, a deal was finalized and announced at a press conference the next day. In 2000 FC Midtjylland were promoted to the Danish Superliga, after a season in which the team had gathered more points than any other team in the history of the 1st division. In 2011 Dempo S.C. invested in the club, buying a 34% stake. In July 2014, Matthew Benham (owner of English Championship side Brentford) became the majority shareholder of FC Midtjylland's parent company FCM Holding.〔http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/benham-remains-fully-committed-bees-7359189〕 In the season 2014–15 they won the Championship in the Danish Superliga. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FC Midtjylland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
