So what is Fodboldfabrikken?
� 5 indoor artificial turf pitches - 20 x 11 meters - primarily used for 4 a side
� Placed very centrally in Copenhagen
� Anybody is welcome - no membership, fees, sign-ups
� Pay and play
� High quality facilities - change rooms, sports cafe, conference facilities etc.
� Equipment included
� Laudrup & Høgh
Danish leisure football
� Majority under the Danish Football Association - open
tournament from lowest league to premier league
� Number of players reduces significantly after age 18 -
whilst the numbers of total active persons is stable
� Conclusion - we quit football - but remain active!
� Alternative for football is (was...) corporate football or
“playing in the park”

football - both regards to timing and available facilities

abroad

Copenhagen exercise study
