The club operates men's, women's (AGF Kvindefodbold), and youth (AGF Talent) teams, with the men's first team competing in the 3F Superliga — where AGF led the league with 47 points from 21 matches and a 2-point margin as of February 2026 — and qualified for the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round (vs Lech Poznan) and Europa League third qualifying round (vs Benfica). AGF is publicly traded (CVR 83839910) and reports on a fiscal year ending June; H1 2025/26 disclosed revenue of 103.3 million DKK with a pretax result of 11.5 million DKK, and full-year 2025/26 guidance revised upward to between 0 and -15 million DKK.
The club operates an integrated digital fan-engagement ecosystem comprising the AGF mobile app (iOS/Android), billet.agf.dk ticketing, Play+ streaming subscription (29-59 DKK/month), the AGF Score loyalty points system (rolling 12-month basis), mit.agf.dk member portal, shop.agf.dk e-commerce, and bestil.agf.dk F&B Click & Collect.

Product overview

The digital product portfolio consists of a consumer-facing fan engagement ecosystem rather than a unified platform-with-modules architecture. The core offering is the match-day experience at Ceres Park Vejlby (and the new stadium under construction), supported by digital services including the official AGF-app (iOS/Android) for ticket access and content, the Play+ streaming subscription for exclusive video content and ticket discounts, multiple ticket subscription tiers (Guld+, Guld, Sølv, Familie, Ungdomszone, Stemnings) accessed via billet.agf.dk, the AGF Score fan loyalty/ranking system, the Klub Aros children's membership club, the Click & Collect food ordering platform (bestil.agf.dk), and the AGF Fanshop e-commerce store (shop.agf.dk).
