It’s a sneaky tactic—just when the opposing team thinks they’re about to score, Fredericia FC pulls off a surprise mid-game dance, or maybe just a really weird passing pattern.
Fan Favorite: The Mascot and Other Mysteries
Their mascot? A giant Viking with a soccer ball. Why? Because why not! The mascot is so mysterious even the players are unsure if he’s real or just a really enthusiastic fan dressed up. Legend says the Viking only appears when the team scores, or when someone says “Fredericia” three times fast.
