Tjørring IF is a Danish football club currently playing in the Denmark Series. They play at Tjørring Stadion in Herning, Central Jutland, which has a capacity of 1,200.
The club received some media coverage[1][2][3] when they gained promotion to the second division, in spite of only finishing sixth in their Denmark Series pool, from which only two teams promote.[4] However, since the rules state that a maximum of eight Superliga-second teams are allowed in the second division,[5] and eight Superliga clubs' second squads already were qualified for the second division, and four of the top five spots were occupied by Superliga clubs' second squads,[4] Tjørring was given the promotion spot. This was their third promotion in three seasons.[3]
