Competitions

[edit | edit source]

As of 2016, the football association administers the local men's senior leagues at level 5 in the Danish football league system besides women's and youth football. The top league at the local senior men's level under the football association's administration is called Fynsserien and was regarded as one among several top regional leagues in Danish football between 1904 and 1927. Before the national "knockout" cup competition, DBU Pokalen, was introduced in 1954, the football association had its own regional cup competitions known as FBUs Pokalturnering, which was contested between 1920 and 1953. Clubs playing at the lower leagues participate in the qualification rounds for the first round proper of DBU Pokalen.
