Fortuna Hjørring - Danish cup winner 2008

Fortuna Hjørring is a womens soccer club and was started in 1966. In the start Fortuna was an extention of another club called Hjørring Frem, made up from the wives of the mens team and called a knitting club.
The knitting clothes were overtime changed to shinguards and soccer boots and in 1977 womens soccer became so big that it was time to make their own club and separate from Frem and this was when Fortuna Hjørring was born.
In 1982, Fortunas earlier trainer, John Robert Larsen got the idea to start an international soccer tournament called the Dana Cup. The Dana Cup exists today and has become a huge success and is therefore the economical supplier to Fortuna Hjørring.
The Northern team has many championships but the biggest sporting achievement is without a doubt, their participation in the UEFA Womens Cup Final in 2003, where Fortuna won the silver medal.
Fortuna has today 350 active members and is a supplier of national players to the Danish National Team. The goal for the players is to win back the Danish Championship and therefore participate in the UEFA Womens Cup again.
