Hjalte Bidstrup (born 15 February 2006) is a Danish footballer who currently plays for Viborg in the Danish Superliga.
Club career
Bidstrup moved from HB Køge at the age of 12 to join Copenhagen.[1] He spent more than seven years in the club's youth academy, making eight appearances during the youth team's 2023–24 UEFA Youth League campaign,[2] where he scored one goal in a 6–0 win over Galatasaray on 12 December 2023.[3] During Copenhagen's 2024–25 season, he made three match-day squad lists for the first team, though he was an unused substitution in each of those occasions.[2]
On 3 February 2025, it was announced that Bidstrup had moved to Viborg, citing his desire for first-team football.[4][5] He agreed with the club to a contract through to the summer of 2029,[6] which included a clause in which Copenhagen may match future transfer offers.[7] He made his debut for the club on 2 March, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 league victory over Vejle.[8][9] During the team's 2025–26 season, he was moved to left-back as teammate Jean-Manuel Mbom frequently played as right-back.[10] On 1 March 2026, he scored his first goal for Viborg in a 2–1 win over FC Nordsjælland. His goal was the match winner, and secured Viborg a place in the 2025–26 Danish Superliga Championship round.[11]
International career
Bidstrup made his international debut for the Denmark U17 team on 4 August 2022 in a 12–0 victory over Northern Ireland U17.[12] On 11 February 2023, he scored his first goal for the U17 team in a 4–4 draw against Croatia U17.[13]
Personal life
Hjalte is the younger brother of Mads Bidstrup.[14][15]
