Unforgettable week in the Champions League

William Gantzhorn and his teammates from Hjørring Futsal Klub have just returned from the Main Round in Slovakia, and with two wins and one loss, the Danish team has advanced to the Champions League. This is the first time ever that a Danish team has advanced to the round of 16. 

Part of the team is William Gantzhorn, who has his futsal roots in Greenland.

– It means an incredible amount. It's huge to be part of making history in Scandinavia as the first team to reach this far in the Champions League. It's huge to be a part of, William proudly tells AG.

William scored three great goals in the Main Round and has thus been a key player in the team's further advancement to the round of 16.

– Of course it's great to score goals, but especially in the Champions League, because it means a little extra. We keep playing even though all the odds are against us, and it shows that when we stand together as a team and believe in each other, we can go really far and play against the big clubs. It has definitely been my coolest futsal experience to date, says William Gantzhorn.

For other young people interested in futsal, the message is also clear.

– Jump in and sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed, even if it's hard. If you really want it, you're also ready to do what it takes. It pays off in the end, says William.

William and the team from Hjørring Futsal Klub can now proudly look forward to the round of 16 – a historic achievement for Danish and Greenlandic futsal.
