Sporting starter aims to stop Froholdt winning award | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand and Victor Froholdt, players from Sporting and Porto, respectively, are among the three finalists for the Danish Footballer of the Year award for 2025, alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Marseille), announced the Danish federation this Friday, November 21st.

The footballer from the Alvalade Club - who is expected to miss the next match for the lions - was already named Player of the Year in Denmark in 2024, and could be distinguished for the second time, after playing a crucial role in winning the Portuguese League and the Portuguese Cup last season.

At 19 years old, Froholdt is nominated for the first time, thanks to his strong start to the season at Porto, with the decisive contribution of the young midfielder, who also became Danish champion in 2024/25, representing Copenhagen, before transferring to the dragons.

The players from Sporting and Porto will thus face competition from Hojbjerg, 30 years old, a midfielder for the French team, in the race for the award, which is chosen by the players themselves and whose winner will be announced by the federation at a date yet to be announced.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – participated in 17 matches: 11 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 1,540 minutes he was on the field, the lions' captain scored two goals and made one assist.
