Sofus Østergaard Grandjean Johannesen (born 4 May 2007) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish Superliga club Fredericia, on loan from Midtjylland. He also represents Denmark at the youth level as part of the Denmark national under-19 football team.
Midtjylland
Johannesen joined FC Midtjylland's youth academy at 12 years old.[1] He became part of FC Midtjylland's under-19 team during the 2023–2024 season, taking part in the team's UEFA Youth League campaign.[2] The following year, he became a regular starter for the under-19 team, scoring 10 goals in the under-19 team with two more in the UEFA Youth League.[3]
On his 18th birthday, on 4 May 2024, Johannesen made his Danish Superliga debut, appearing in the closing minutes of Midtjylland's 3–1 win over AGF.[4] The following month, on 25 June, Midtjylland announced they had agreed to a contract with Johannesen, keeping him with the club until the summer of 2030.[5]
Fredericia
Johannesen was loaned out to Superliga newcomers FC Fredericia on 1 September 2025, with the deal set to keep him with the club for the remainder of the 2025–26 season.[6][7] The deal came just before the end of the transfer window, following an injury to Ovie Ejeheri.[1] His first goal for Fredericia came on 29 October 2025 in the Danish Cup match against Viborg, scoring a goal to equalise the game at 1–1. Fredericia went on to lose the match in a penalty shoot-out.[8] He scored his first Danish Superliga goal on 15 February 2026, giving Fredericia a 1–1 draw versus AGF.[9] His second goal was scored just a week later in the opening minutes of a 2–1 win over Randers, helping Fredericia move out of the relegation zone.[10]
International career
Johannesen has represented Denmark as part of several youth teams, most recently joining the Denmark national under-19 football team.[11] He played 17 games for the under-17 team, and another nine appearances for the country's under-18 team.[12]
