About Copenhagen XI

The Copenhagen XI, known in Danish as Stævnet ("the event" or "the meeting"), was a representative football team of the city of Copenhagen, made up of players from the city's clubs. It had its prime before 1970 but remained active until 1994.

Stævnet represented Copenhagen in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the forerunner of the UEFA Cup, in 1955–58, 1958–60, 1961–62, 1962–63 and 1963–64.

In the first Fairs Cup, in 1955–58, the Copenhagen XI was drawn in a group with the Barcelona XI and the Vienna XI. After Vienna withdrew, it lost 6–2 in Barcelona and drew 1–1 at home in the Idrætsparken, and Barcelona went through to the semi-finals.
