Andrés Iniesta Becomes Owner of Danish Club Viborg FF

A World Cup and European Championship winner swaps one title for another, as football legend Andrés Iniesta takes on a new chapter in his career. The former FC Barcelona midfielder has become the majority shareholder of Danish third-tier club Viborg FF.

The Spaniard has signed a three-year contract with the club, acquiring 90% of its shares. The move marks a significant investment by Iniesta, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation.

Iniesta's decision to invest in Viborg FF has been met with excitement by the club and its fans. The Danish side, which currently plays in the Danish 2nd Division, is hoping to use Iniesta's expertise and experience to help them achieve promotion to the Danish Superliga.

Iniesta is confident that he can help Viborg FF reach its goals. "I'm very excited to be part of this project," he said. "I believe that Viborg FF has the potential to be a successful club, and I'm looking forward to working with the players, staff, and fans to help them achieve their goals."

Iniesta's arrival at Viborg FF is a major coup for the club. The Spaniard is a world-renowned player with a wealth of experience at the highest level. His signing is sure to boost the club's profile and attract new fans.

Iniesta is not the only former Barcelona player to invest in a Danish club. In 2021, Michael Laudrup, another former Barcelona midfielder, became the sporting director of Lyngby Boldklub, another Danish club that plays in the Danish 2nd Division.

The arrival of Iniesta and Laudrup in Denmark is a sign of the growing interest in Danish football. The Danish Superliga is one of the most competitive leagues in Scandinavia, and it is attracting increasing attention from around the world.

With Iniesta's help, Viborg FF will be hoping to join the likes of FC Copenhagen and Brondby IF as one of the top clubs in Denmark.
