The 1928 Provinsmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold (Unofficial English translation: 1928 Provincial Football Championship Tournament) was the 15th edition of the Danish provincial championship play-off, Provinsmesterskabsturneringen, the second highest senior cup competition, crowning the best provincial championship club of the five regional football associations outside the dominating Copenhagen football clubs, organised and financially supported by the national football organization Danish FA (DBU). [2] This was the first edition of the tournament under its new status as a separate championship cup tournament, no longer being an essential part of the road to winning the Danish Football Championship, which it had been under the previous structure of Landsfodboldturneringen. [3] [4] The new Danish Football Championship structure, had its debut this season, 1927–28 Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen. Following a recommendation by the five provincial football associations, the Danish FA finally decided to re-establish a provincial football tournament in late March 1928. [5]

Contents

The four matches in the tournament were held during June 1928 following the conclusion of each of the 1927–28 regional league championship seasons for Bornholm FA, Funen FA, Jutland FA, Lolland-Falster FA and Zealand FA. [2] In advance of the tournament, a play-off structure had been agreed, which meant that the semi-finals consisted of two matches; on one side the senior champions of FBUs Mesterskabsrække played against the champions of JBUs Mesterskabsrække and in the other match, the champions of the BBUs Mesterskabsrække tournament played against the winners of a preliminary round between the league champions of SBUs Mesterskabsrække and LFBUs Mesterskabsrække. [2] [3] [4] Initially the rules of the tournament dictated that each match should be played on a neutral ground, but only one match ended up doing so. [5]

The tournament was won by the Jutland FA representative Aalborg BK, by defeating the Zealand FA representative and defending provincial champions, Skovshoved IF, in the championship final held at Aalborg Stadium, Aalborg on 24 June 1928. [1] [6] [7] This was the first provincial championship title by Aalborg BK, who had also secured the combined regional league championship for both north and south Jutland and the regional cup title after winning the JBUs Pokalturnering this season. [8] This would be the first time, that the city of Aalborg hosted an important national or provincial final match. [9] The top scorers of the tournament became Svend Strømann (Skovshoved IF) and Søren Andersen (Aalborg BK) with 7 goals each, scoring in all the matches, that they played in (3 and 2 matches respectively). [10] [1]

Provincial tournament, preliminary round

Match summary

The preliminary round was played between the representative club champions of Zealand FA and Lolland-Falster FA. [2] Skovshoved IF qualified to the tournament after winning their third consecutive regional league final just one week prior to the match; their fourth Zealand League Championship in total. [8] B 1901 qualified by winning the regional football league, LFBUs Mesterskabsrække for the 20th time in the league's history, and had participated in all 15th previous editions of the Provinsmesterskabsturneringen. The match was originally scheduled to take place on 3 June 1928, but was postponed with one week due to the late decision regarding the Zealand League Championship winner. [5]

The only match in the preliminary round, played on 10 June 1928 at 13:30 CEST, was attended by a couple of thousands on the home field of B 1901 in Nykøbing Falster. [10] [11] It was reportedly described as hard played, exiting to the end and with the result of the match ending in a narrow victory of the score 3–2 to Skovshoved IF, who were playing in a blue kit. [10] [12] Skovshoved IF's center forward Svend Strømann scored the first goal after 25 minutes of play, which became the only goal in the first half. [13] The 1–0 lead for the away team was equalized in the 10th minute in the second half with a goal by Holger Brodthagen, after which a colleague, Svend Aage Eriksen, scored another goal for B 1901 in the 26th minute of the second half, giving the home team a 2–1 lead. [13] [14] Only two minutes later Strømann scored his second goal in the match and Skovhoved IF's left inner winger Axel Guhle scored the third goal in the 42nd minutes of the second half, securing the victory for the Zealandians. [10] [14] A regional newspaper, Lolland-Falster Social-Demokrat (Nakskov), praised the young Skovshoved IF halfback, Hans Møller, as the best player on the football field, and highlighted his efforts of keeping B 1901's forward Svend Aage Eriksen in check during the match. [13] [14]

Provincial tournament, semi-finals

Pre-match

The two provincial semi-finals were played between the representative club champions of Zealand FA and Bornholm FA in one match and the club champions of Jutland FA and Funen FA in the other match. [2] Both IK Viking and Aalborg BK had received byes from the preliminary round and did not enter the tournament until the semi-finals — this was only the second time in the competition's history (last one was in the 1913–14 edition), that a team from Bornholm FA played in the semi-finals. [10] Prior to Skovshoved IF's next semi-final match, the club's administration arranged a training match at their home ground in Skovshoved on 14 June 1928 against the first team of Akademisk BK in preparation for the semi-final match — the unofficial evening match won 3–1 by the academics of Copenhagen. [10] Prior to the match, the newspapers predicted, that the IK Viking team would not get many chances for a victory. [17] The line-up for IK Viking, that was going to travel overseas from Bornholm, was assembled after an evening match on 14 June 1928 between the first and second (reserves) team, that ended in an 8–0 victory, and consisted of the following players (listed goalkeeper to left wing): Vilhelm Reker, Harry Pedersen, H. P. Hansen, Niels Mortensen, Arthur Aakerlund, Harald Mortensen, Knud Hansen, Knud Christiansen, Charles Olsen, Carlo Christiansen and Carl Mortensen, while the reserve player was Edm. Larsen and the team's leader was Jens P. Pedersen. [17] [18]

Match summaries

The semi-final match between Skovshoved IF and IK Viking took place at Skovshoved Idrætspark on 17 June 1928 13:30 CEST in front of approximately 300 spectators and the Danish FA had assigned the well known former goalkeeper on the national football team, Sophus Hansen (affiliated with BK Frem), to be the referee at the game. [10] [19] [20] [21] Skovshoved IF's forwards had several engaging attacks in the first 30 minutes of the game, but they were all either saved by the Rønne-goalkeeper Vilhelm Reker or the attackers were lacking shooting skills, while the IK Viking's players on the other hand could not get their game and the passes to function effectively. [10] [22] [21] In the last 15 minutes of the first half, the Vikings regained the upper hand and eventually got a 1–0 lead, after Charles Olsen scored the team's only goal with a one-man performance five minutes before the referee whistled for the half time break. [22] [20] [23] A local newspaper from northern Zealand concluded, that away-team's positive activities were due to the strong tailwind that the visiting players had towards the home-team's goal post — an advantage that had been decided at the beginning of the match by a drawing of lots. [10] [20] [21]

As a consequence of the strong winds IK Viking Rønne was able to compete on equal terms against the much stronger Skovshoved IF-players, which was emphasized during the second half. [10] [22] [21] After a few minutes, SIF scored the first goal, greatly assisted by IK Viking's Niels Mortensen, whereafter they progressed in gaining the upper hand for the remaining part of the match, and were quite dominant in the last 15 minutes — a local newspaper, based on Bornholm, referred this to insufficient training on the Rønne-players' part. [10] [22] [20] The Rønne-team's Charles Olsen and Karl Mortensen had some great opportunities for scoring goals, but both failed to accomplish the objective. [20] During the second half, the home team's centerforward, Svend Strømann, scored four goals — between 2 and 3 goals using his head — while the team's right winger Ernst Sørensen and the team captain, Helmuth Thomas, each scored one goal — contributing to Skovshoved IF's victory of 6–1. [10] According to the local Bornholm newspaper, players on both teams hailed the IK Viking goalkeeper, Vilhelm Reker, as the best player on the field. [10]

The inaugural match in the newly refounded Provincial Football Championship was played on 3 June 1928 on a neutral football field in Randers in front of approximately 2,000 spectators, which took place two weeks after the league final in the JBUs Mesterskabsrække and over a month had passed after the final round of regular league fixtures had been played in the FBUs Mesterskabsrække. [24] [25] To the match, B 1913's line-up consisted of Frederik Johansen, Poul Espe, Richard Rasmussen, Harry Christensen, Børge Jensen (forward), Chr. Larsen, Martin Petersen, Knud Lindegaard, Albert Fischer (forward), Carl Hansen and Kaj Seeback, while the line-up for Aalborg BK consisted of goalkeeper Folmer Olesen, defenders Harry Jensen and Dalhoff Jørgensen (Captain), midfielders Harald Christensen, Ejner Hansen and Egon Thon and forwards Børge Lunde, Axel Villadsen, Søren Andersen, Kaj Mølback and Aage Nielsen. [3] [26] [1] The Jutlandian championship club, Aalborg BK, won the semi-final match 3-2 after having obtained a lead of 3-0 after 60 minutes of play in the second half — all Alborg BK goals in the victory were scored by center forward Søren Andersen — before the Odense team was able to get in two goals. [24] [1] Originally scheduled to be played at Aarhus Stadium, only a few days before the first semi-final match, it was moved to Randers Stadium due to the stadium being occupied by other activities; and Peder Remtoft (Copenhagen) was assigned as referee to the match. [27]

Match details

The home team was Skovshoved IF, because the match was played at their regular home turf.

The final of the Provinsmesterskabsturneringen was played between the representative club champions of Zealand FA, who were the defending provincial champions from the previous season, and Jutland FA, who secured their participation in this tournament by winning the combined regional league championship for both north and south Jutland, and in the same season also secured the regional cup title in the JBUs Pokalturnering. [8] [2] The last game in the tournament was originally scheduled to take place in Odense, but negotiations initiated by the Jutland FA tried to get the match moved to Aarhus Stadium due to expectations that several more spectators would attend the match. [9] [32] [33] However, Skovshoved IF had no interest in playing in Aarhus, but on the other hand would like to play the match in Aalborg, and on 19 June the Jutland FA unexpectedly announced to Aalborg BK that Skovshoved IF had agreed to play the final at Aalborg Stadium on 24 June 1928 at 14:00 CEST and be refereed by Cand.jur. Otto Remke (affiliated with Akademisk BK). [9] [34] This would be the first time, that an important national or provincial final match was played as far north as Aalborg — these kind of final matches had in the previous years basically only been held in Copenhagen, Odense, Nykøbing Falster and Aarhus. [9] The Skovshoved IF players arrived in Aalborg on the morning of the match day. [28] Skovshoved IF played in blue shirts and black shorts/socks, while the Aalborg BK team played in their usual red and white football kit and with the entire team line-up used in the regional league championship. [28]

Match summary

Before the match, both teams announced that they would be fielding their best players. [26] This would be Skovshoved IF's 12th competitive match in 1928, having scored 39 times and only conceding 6 goals prior to the game. [35] Aalborg BK, who had the home field advantage, won both halves of the match with the score of 4–1, but the game quickly lacked any spark of excitement. [1] [32] Very early in the match, the Jutlanders obtained a lead, when the forward Kaj Mølback scored a goal, but a few moments Skovshoved IF's Axel Guhle equalized for the Zealanders — after 3 minutes of play, the score was 1–1. [36] For the remaining part of the first half, the Aalborg players took control of the match, increasing the score with two goals from the forwards Søren Andersen (in the 10' and 23' minute) and an additional goal by Kaj Mølback in the 30' minute. [36] After the break, the control of the match continued, when Søren Andersen (48' and 63'), Kaj Mølback (75') and Alex Villadsen (77') further increased the lead to 8–1. It was not until the last minutes of the match, that Skovserne managed to get another in; scored by Svend Strømann. [36] [34]

The match has been described as the probably the best game played by the club due to winning the match in a convincing manner, while the local newspaper Aalborg Stiftstidende criticised the performance of the away team, Skovshoved IF, as being nothing better than some random village team although the club was located in the suburbs of Copenhagen in an era of the dominating clubs from Copenhagen FA. [1] [32] The "home" team was praised for the players' organisation on the field, the players knew their tasks in the formation, the ball was transferred smoothly from player to player, and the forwards unexploited their options during the match. [1] [32] [34] The "away" team had a very different playing style, shooting long balls to the players in front, and then relied on individual efforts. [1] [32] At the same time as Aalborg BK's inner wing, Kaj Mølback, scored his team's seventh goal in the 75th minute, giving the team a 7–1 lead, a violent guest of wind caught the very large Dannebrog and the stadium's flagpole broke, falling to the ground with a bang, but not injuring any spectators nearby. [1] [32]

Aalborg BK won the Final of the Provinsmesterskabsturneringen in front of 1,800 spectators and were crowned Champions of the Provincial Football Championship (Danish : Vinder af Provinsmesterskabet i Fodbold or simply Provinsmester). [37] [32] [34] Unlike the important corresponding Danish football tournaments of the era, the winning team would not be awarded a trophy, but instead received a diploma for their efforts, which had also been awarded the previous provincial champions. [1] Aalborg BK's centerforward, Søren Andersen, was hailed as the best player during the match by two local newspapers. [37] [34]

Match details

Although Aalborg BK was playing on their home turf/city, the "home" team had been determined to be Skovshoved IF for administrative reasons. [31]

The 1926–27 Landsfodboldturneringen was the 14th edition of the Danish national football championship play-offs, a Danish FA-organised club football tournament between the championship clubs from each of the six regional football associations. In advance of the tournament, a play-off structure had been agreed, which meant that the winners of KBUs Mesterskabsrække were directly qualified for the national championship final against the winner of the Provincial tournament. The semi-finals consisted of two matches; on one side the champions of JBUs Mesterskabsrække played against the champions of FBUs Mesterskabsrække and in the other match, the champions of the LFBUs Mesterskabsrække tournament played against the winners of a preliminary round between the champions of SBUs Mesterskabsrække and BBUs Mesterskabsrække.

The 1927–28 Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold was the 1st edition of the new year-long league structure for the Danish national football championship play-offs, a Danish FA-organised club football tournament between the highest ranking clubs from each of the six regional football associations. The national tournament at the top of the Danish football league system consisted of two stages, a preliminary round contested by 20 teams split into 5 groups determined by draw and distributed evenly among all regional associations, where the five winners of each group would qualify for the final championship round held at the end of the season. The clubs participating in the nationwide competition were also simultaneously contesting in their local regional league championships.

The 1926–27 KBUs A-række was the 21st season of the KBUs A-række, the second-tier of the Copenhagen football league structure organised by the Copenhagen FA (KBU). The season was launched on 29 August 1926 with three games and the final match was played on 1 June 1927 with the promotion and relegation play-off matches being held on 16 and 28 June 1927. BK Fremad Amager were the defending league winners, earning promotion to the 1926–27 KBUs Mesterskabsrække and replacing KFUMs BK, who were relegated to this season of the KBUs A-række. The winner of the league would automatically qualify for the inaugural season of the new Danish Championship play-off structure, the 1927–28 Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold and for the promotion/relegation play-off against the lowest placed team of the 1926–27 KBUs Mesterskabsrække for a spot in the 1927–28 KBUs Mesterskabsrække. The winners and runners-up also qualified for the 1927 KBUs Pokalturnering.

The 1926–27 FBUs Mesterskabsrække was the 23rd season of the Funen Football Championship since its establishment in 1904 under the administration of Fyns Boldspil-Union (FBU). This was the first season played under the new name, Mesterskabsrækken, after the top-flight Funen league had previously been named A-rækken, a name that was passed on to the Funen second tier league. The launch of the season began on 26 September 1926 with three matches and the final round of regular league fixtures were played in April 1927 with the play-off matches being held on 1–8 May 1927. Svendborg BK were the defending league champions. The winner of the league would automatically qualify for the semifinals of the Provincial championship tournament that was held as part of the 1926–27 Landsfodboldturneringen that was played at the end of the regular season. The three highest ranking teams in the final standings participated in the inaugural season of the new Danish Championship play-off structure, the 1927–28 Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold. All eligible teams in the FBUs Mesterskabsrække including the best teams of the 1926–27 FBUs A-række would also participate in the next season of the Funen regional cup tournament, 1927 FBUs Pokalturnering.

FBUs Pokalturnering was a Danish regional knockout association football competition contested annually from 1920 to 1953 by members of the regional football association Funen FA (FBU). Organised by and named after FBU, it was the third regional cup competition introduced on a national level, and the second in the province, after the KBUs Pokalturnering in 1910 and the LFBUs Pokalturnering in 1915. The 1953 season of the cup tournament became the last edition due to the Danish FA's introduction of a new national-wide cup competition in 1954.

Sylow-Tournament was a knockout association football competition contested annually between 1918 and 1926, organised by the Danish FA (DBU), which determined the championship of the representative teams, referred to as Sylow-teams, of the six Danish regional football associations. The competition was held between the selected teams of Copenhagen FA, Funen FA, Jutland FA, Lolland-Falster FA and Zealand FA for the first three seasons (1918–1920), before being joined by the Bornholm FA team in 1921 and eventually an additional Copenhagen FA team exclusively composed of players from the KBUs A-række competing in 1926. The 1926 season became the last edition of the Sylow Tournament, which was abolished and replaced by a year-long league format for clubs, known as Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold, the following season. The competition was created in 1918 after a proposal from the chairman of the Danish FA, Louis Østrup, modelled after the Landsfodboldturneringen, and named after a previous chairman of the national organisation, Ludvig Sylow.

The 1927–28 SBUs Mesterskabsrække was the 32nd season of the Zealand Football Championship since its establishment in 1902 under the administration of Sjællands Boldspil-Union (SBU), and the 1st season since the league was renamed from SBUs A-Række to the SBUs Mesterskabsrække. The launch of the season began on 28 August 1927 and the final round of regular league fixtures were played on 20 May 1928 with the championship replays being held on 27 May and 3 June 1928 — including a 5 months long winter break between November and March. Skovshoved IF were the defending league champions from the 1926–27 season. The league ran simultaneously with the inaugural edition of the 1927–28 Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold, in which three the league's best placed teams from the previous season participated. The four highest ranking teams in the final standings would automatically qualify for the 1928–29 Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen i Fodbold. After the end of the season, the league winner would take part in the 1928 Provinsmesterskabsturneringen.

The 1927–28 JBUs Mesterskabsrække was the 30th season of the Jutland Football Championship since its establishment in 1902. The season was launched in August 1927 and concluded in May 1928 with the final match of the regular league fixtures, while the championship play-offs and promotion/relegation play-off matches were held in May and June 1928. Aalborg BK won both final matches, securing their 4th Jutland league championship and qualifying for the 1928 Provinsmesterskabsturneringen, which they also won.

In the 1927 JBUs Pokalturnering, Aalborg BK obtained their fourth consecutive cup championship, by winning the final against Esbjerg fB.

The 1926–27 JBUs Mesterskabsrække was the 29th season of the Jutland Football Championship since its establishment in 1902, and the 5th season since the regional top-flight league was rebranded and reorganised from JBUs A-Række to the JBUs Mesterskabsrække. The season was launched on 12 September 1926 and concluded on 8 May 1927 with the final match of the regular league fixtures, while the two-legged championship play-off and the promotion/relegation play-off matches were held between 15 May and 12 June 1927.

The 1963–64 Danish Cup was the 10th installment of the Danish Cup, the national association football cup competition in Denmark. This year's edition began with the regional qualifying rounds among the lower ranking members of the six regional governing bodies in early May 1963, and concluded with the grand cup final on 7 May 1964. A total of 707 clubs participated in the cup tournament – the highest number of teams since the cup's foundation. 671 teams were registered for the qualifying rounds, of which only 44 teams would quality for the proper rounds, under the auspices of the Danish FA's tournament committee, joined by 36 additional teams from the first, second and third divisions in the Danish football league system.

The Danish football league system, also known as the football league pyramid, refers to the hierarchically interconnected league structure for association football in Denmark, in which all divisions are bound together by the principle of promotion and relegation. Within men's association football, the top two professional levels contain one division each. Below this, the semi-professional and amateur levels have progressively more parallel divisions, which each cover progressively smaller geographic areas. The top four tiers are classed as nationwide, while the fifth tier and below are classed provincial leagues. Teams that finish at the top of their division at the end of each season can rise higher in the pyramid, while those that finish at the bottom find themselves sinking further down. In theory it is possible for even the lowest local amateur club to rise to the top of the system and become Danish football champions one day. The number of teams promoted and relegated between the divisions varies, and promotion to the upper levels of the pyramid is usually contingent on meeting additional criteria, especially concerning appropriate facilities and finances.

The 1926 FBUs Pokalturnering was the 7th edition of the regional tournament, FBUs Pokalturnering, the highest senior cup competition organised by the Funen FA (FBU). The tournament was held in the third quarter of 1926 with B 1913 as the defending cup champions. The season was launched on 8 August 1926 with the preliminary round involving two matches involving Ejby BK versus Dalum BK and Assens G&IK versus AIK Bogense, while Bogense G&IF and Arbejdernes I&BK (AIB) of Middelfart both received a bye to the next round. A total of eighteen teams from the 1925–26 FBUs A-række, the 1925–26 FBUs B-række and three new member clubs of the regional football association participated in the cup tournament, which embraced seventeen cup matches — the reigning Funen champions Svendborg BK from the top-flight league choose not to participate in this year's edition.

The 1926 JBUs Pokalturnering was the 3rd edition of the regional tournament, JBUs Pokalturnering, the highest senior cup competition organised by the Jutland FA (JBU). The tournament was held in the third and fourth quarter of 1926 with Aalborg BK as the defending cup champions. The season was launched on 22 August 1926 with the first round, embraced five cup rounds and concluded on 21 November 1926 with the cup final. A total of 29 clubs participated in the cup tournament, which was the same number of teams as the previous season.

The 1964 Danish 3rd Division was the twenty-third season of the Danish third-tier association football division since its establishment in 1936 as part of the Danmarksturneringen's nation-wide league structure. Governed by the Danish FA, the season was launched on 26 March 1964 with two fixtures and concluded with the last four matches on 15 November 1964. Skovshoved IF and Hellerup IK entered as relegated teams from last season's second division, while Svendborg fB and Nakskov BK entered as promoted teams from the 1963 Kvalifikationsturneringen. The twelve teams in the division entered the 1964–65 Danish Cup in the cup tournament's first round proper.

The 1963–64 Danish Cup qualifying rounds inaugurated the 10th season for the Danish Cup. The qualifying rounds of the cup tournament were governed by the six regional football associations, the Bornholm FA, Copenhagen FA, Funen FA, Jutland FA, Lolland-Falster FA and Zealand FA. 671 teams were registered for the qualifying rounds, of which only 44 teams would quality for the proper rounds, under the auspices of the Danish FA's tournament committee, joined by 36 additional teams from the first, second and third divisions in the Danish football league system. The Danish FA dictated that the ticket prices to the qualifying matches should be at least DKK 2 for adults and DKK 1 for children.

The 1964 Kvalifikationsturneringen was the fourteenth edition of the Danish fourth-tier association football division since its establishment in 1950 as part of the Danmarksturneringen's nation-wide league structure. Governed by the Danish FA, the season was launched in March 1964, and the last round of matches concluded on 15 November 1964. KFUM København and BK Rødovre entered as relegated teams from last season's third division, while IK Viking, BK Dalgas, Assens G&IK, IF Fuglebakken, Brønderslev IF, B 1921 and Holte IF entered as promoted teams from the 1963 Bornholm Series, 1963 Copenhagen Series, 1963 Funen Series, 1963 Jutland Series, 1963 Lolland-Falster Series and 1963 Zealand Series respectively.

Amager Boldspil-Union, shortened to ABU, was a subregional governing body for men's association football on the island of Amager, Denmark. The Amager Football Association governed the league and cup tournaments for the official championship of Amager, known as ABUs Amager-Turnering and ABUs Pokalturnering since its inception in March 1912. In 1916, the association's clubs formed the regional Københavns Forstadsklubbers Boldspil-Union (KFBU). Representative teams, either composed of individual clubs and a selection of players from several teams, referred to as Amager, competed in KFBU tournaments or in exhibition matches against other representative teams and clubs. The subregional football association published a member's magazine known as Unionsbladet, which evolved into the KFBU magazine known as Fodboldbladet.

The 1964 Jutland Series was the 66th edition of the Danish fifth-tier association football division since its establishment in 1902. Governed by the Jutland Football Association (JBU), the season was launched on 30 March 1964, and the last round of regular league matches concluded on 8 November 1964, with the league championship final being played on 15 November 1964.

Fixtures for the 1964 season were announced on 13 March 1964, 2½ weeks prior the season's start. The league featured reserve teams for higher ranking league clubs, whose players could indiscriminately be used on both the league and reserve teams, after a quarantine period of one match day.
