Preseason

The Storm were announced to join the European League of Football on September 21, 2024. [1] They are regarded as representing both Copenhagen, Denmark, and Malmö, Sweden, the two cities connected by the Øresund Bridge. This makes them the first ELF franchise in Scandinavia and the first one to represent two countries. Players from both Denmark and Sweden are considered homegrown players under the league's rules. [2] The Storm will play their inaugural season at Gladsaxe Stadium in Søborg. [3]

On October 3, 2024, former NFL offensive coordinator and Munich Ravens head coach John Shoop was named as the Nordic Storm's first head coach. [4] First players signed were quarterback Jadrian Clark and running back Glen Toonga. Both played for the ELF champion Rhein Fire for the 2023 and 2024 seasons, and were MVP in this seasons. The first Danish player was Joachim Christensen (ELF champion with Frankfurt Galaxy in 2021), the first Swedish signing was Ludvig Myrén, who had played for the Berlin Thunder for the last three years.
