Silkeborg IF venue and coaching updates

Entities: Silkeborg IF · Morten Dahm Kjærgaard · Danish Superliga

Overview

In July 2026, the Riisvangen stadium in Aarhus began a renovation to meet first‑division standards, leaving Aarhus Fremad without a suitable home ground. The club arranged to host its first five home matches at its own venue before moving the remainder of the autumn‑winter schedule to Silkeborg’s JYSK Park. During this temporary relocation, Silkeborg IF signed 22‑year‑old forward Lucas Riisgaard from Aarhus Fremad on a contract through 2031, citing his speed and attacking capability.

A week later, Silkeborg IF announced the appointment of Morten Dahm Kjærgaard as head coach ahead of the Danish Superliga season. Kjærgaard, previously head coach of Aarhus Fremad and with experience as an assistant at several clubs, described the role as the culmination of his coaching progression. The two developments reflect Silkeborg’s broader effort to strengthen its squad and leadership amid the stadium‑related influx of matches and players.
