History

In January 2020, the club entered into partnership with Capelli Sport and the American Football Academy Slammers FC. The goal for the team is to participate in the UEFA Women's Champions League within five years and in the women's section receive the same terms as the men's team. The former football player and success coach from Brøndby IF Peer Lisdorf, was hired as new head coach for the team.[2][3]

gollark: But it would probably be hard to manage at such ridiculous velocity.
gollark: I assume they mean inertial guidance or something, where it works out its position based on acceleration/gyroscope data.
gollark: Cynical answer: you are not, mostly, paying for actual education, which is increasingly cheap via the internet, but inherently scarce social status from either going to a prestigious college or having a degree at all.
