Abstract: Abstract In the spring of 2011, the Danish press announced that the Indian billionaire Shrinivas Dempe would invest between DKK 75 and 100 million in the Danish Soccer club FC Midtjylland. FC Midtjylland was chosen out of 58 football clubs from 20 countries. The investment would allow the Indian investor to get a foothold in the Danish soccer league. But it was not only to get into the Danish soccer league that the investment was contemplating. FC Midtjylland had over the years built a unique and outstanding ability to develop soccer talent. Indeed, the investment was reported mainly to be motivated by acquiring knowledge about training and organization which eventually could be transferred over to the Indian soccer league. This would develop and enhance Indian talent and raise the standards in Indian football.
