Foreningen af Divisionsklubber i Danmark (English: Danish League[2]), commonly referred to as Divisionsforeningen[3] or shortened to DF (or FDD), is a professionally administered, non-profit trade, special interest and employers' organization for men's professional association football in Denmark and the elite clubs (or their companies) that partake in the top four Danish leagues, the Superliga, 1st Division, 2nd Division and 3rd Division, representing their interests, especially forwards the Danish Football Association (DBU), the Danish Football Players' Association and the local municipalities.[3][4] Divisionsforeningen is one of two formal members of the Danish FA and is subject to the laws and regulations of the national association.[3] The association's secretariat is located together with the offices of the Danish FA at Fodboldens Hus, DBU Allé 1 in Brøndby. It is the organiser of the Danmarksturneringen i fodbold, the Danish Cup and the Danish Reserve League on behalf of the Danish FA, and responsible for negotiating the television rights for the four professional leagues and the national cup tournament.[5][6]
Originally founded on 2 February 1969 under the name Foreningen af 1. divisionsklubber under DBU as an association solely for the clubs in the top-flight league, it was renamed Foreningen af Fodbold Divisionsklubber i Danmark after the inclusion of the clubs in the second-tier in 1970 and third-tier in 1971.[1][2][3] The Danish league organisation was the founder of the Nordic football tournament, the Royal League, which was run in collaboration with the corresponding Swedish and Norwegian organisations, and had also previously organised the unofficial Danish indoor football championship, Divisionsturneringen and the Danish League Cup. The group was one of the 14 founding members of EUPPFL in 1997, and a founding member in the reorganisation to the European Leagues (EL) in 2005.[7] An association agreement between Divisionsforeningen and Kvindedivisionsforeningen (KDF) was signed in February 2014 with the aim of strengthening mutual cooperation and the development of both men's and women's elite football clubs in mind.[8][4]
