F C Vestsjælland, has qualified for the Danish Superliga, the country's top-tier and one of Europe's well-known leagues.
It is the first time the club has made it to the Danish top division.
Anglian Holdings, an NRI-owned multi-national corporation with diverse global investments, had acquired a strategic stake in FC Vestsjælland, and had simultaneously invested in I-League club Shillong Lajong FC, with the intent of creating a pipeline for bi-directional exchange of talent, knowledge and expertise between the two clubs.
Post the promotion of FC Vestsjælland (also known as FC Vikings), the corporation aims to intensify its efforts towards bringing European footballing knowhow to Shillong Lajong FC and the rest of India.
It has already begun using the experience to help Indian clubs and players.
Anglian-supported player, Netan Sansara, is the first PIO to make it to the Danish Superliga.
F C Vestsjælland, a club based in Slagelse, Denmark, has capped off a remarkable season by qualifying for the Superliga.
F C Vestsjælland was established in 2008 as an offshoot of the Slagelse Football Club & Sports Association (SB&I) – and makes it to the premier football division in Denmark within 5 years of its formation.
Commenting on the promotion, Kurt Andersen, President, FC Vestsjælland, said, "We are thrilled to be a part of the Superliga next season and are extremely proud of what the team has been able to achieve. I think it is nothing short of amazing that within 5 years of being formed, we have climbed our way to the top-most football league of Denmark."
Dhruv Ratra, CEO – Sports & Marketing, Anglian Holdings, said, "We are delighted for FC Vestsjælland's players, staff and fans. It really is a remarkable achievement for the club to ascend so rapidly. We are also extremely happy that our player Netan Sansara has become the first PIO to reach the highest level of Danish football."
