FC Midtjylland is a professional women's association football club based in Herning, Denmark. The team competes in the A-Liga, the top flight of Danish women's football. The club was founded in 2024.

History

In 2023 FC Midtjylland announced that it would create a women's team, following UEFA's November 2022 decree that no men's clubs would be licensed to participate in any of the three European club competitions from the 2024-25 season without having an established women's branch.[1] Midtjylland took over the license from then-B-Liga team Vildbjerg SF in 2024, with the Vildbjerg squad being absorbed into the new Midtjylland setup.[2] The club's first season in the 1st division saw them promoted to the A-Liga, which also marked their entry as a professional full-time club.[3]
