History

The Storm were announced as the 18th team to join the European League of Football on September 21, 2024.^[1] 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.^[2] 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.^[1] Palle Navntoft Christensen was appointed as the Storm's first general manager.^[3] On October 3, former NFL offensive coordinator and Munich Ravens head coach John Shoop was named as the Nordic Storm's first head coach.^[4] On April 28, 2025, it was announced that Stephen Schueler would join as Co-Owner and Board Member of Nordic Storm. Schueler is the President of the American Club Denmark and the great-grandson of a former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark. His primary role will be to advance American relations for the team.^[5]

The Storm will play their inaugural season at Gladsaxe Stadium in Søborg.^[6]
