Sylow-Tournament

[1][3] The matches in the tournament played a major role in the development of association football outside the Danish capital city.

[4][5] The Denmark national team had been playing official matches since 1908, but the roster consisted solely of players from clubs in Copenhagen, who were leading the development of Danish association football until World War II, and a player from a provincial club only first made it on the roster in 1923.

[1][6] The most capped players from the Copenhagen FA were the forwards Viggo Jørgensen (B 1903) and Einard Larsen (KFUMs BK), while the Copenhagen FA top goalscorer in the entire tournament were the forwards Pauli Jørgensen (BK Frem) and Frithjof Steen (B 1903).

[6][2] Following the conclusion of the tournament in 1927, the Fredericia Social-Demokrat argued that the major drawbacks surrounding Sylow-matches were to gather the selected teams with players from so many scattered clubs, and making them work as a unit.

The ninth and last edition of the tournament was won by the Copenhagen FA for the fifth time, which meant that the organization obtained five lots and now had the honour of keeping the trophy permanently.
