The Nordic Storm is an American football team based in Copenhagen, Denmark. They are the newest expansion team in the European League of Football (ELF) and are set to begin play in 2025.
The Storm were announced as the 18th team to join the European League of Football on September 21, 2024. They are regarded as representing both Copenhagen 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. Later, in January 2025 these rules were modified to give other teams access to players from certain neighboring countries as well.
The ownership group consists of several Danish businessmen with connections to the Danish American football community. Palle Navntoft Christensen was appointed as the Storm's first general manager. On October 3, former NFL offensive coordinator and Munich Ravens head coach John Shoop was named as the Nordic Storm's first head coach.
The Storm will play their inaugural season at Gladsaxe Stadium in Søborg.
