Arbejder Sport Aarhus Fodbold (commonly known as ASA Fodbold) is a Danish women's football team based in Aarhus, Denmark. They currently compete in A-Liga, the top-flight of the Danish Women's Football League.

History

ASA finished top of the 2025–26 B-Liga, with their top scorer Benedicte Moss winning Player of the Autumn[1], and went on to compete for a chance at promotion into the A-Liga.[2][3][4][5] In May 2026, ahead of the conclusion of the promotion play-offs, it was announced that head coach Anders Fedder Kristensen would join city rivals AGF on 1 July 2026.[6] On 30 May 2026 ASA secured promotion to the top-flight with a 5–1 victory against Østerbro IF.[7]

Henrik Larsen became the new ASA head coach in July 2026, having previously coached in the league clubs Fortuna Hjørring, Viborg, and AaB.[8] ASA applied for dispensation to remain in the top tier with few weeks until the season commenced due to failure to comply with the required pitch regulations, as failure to comply would result in enforced automatic relegation despite having qualified for A-Liga.[9] ASA was granted dispensation by Ligaforbundet to play their home matches at XL Park Vorup about a week before the season commenced.[10][11]

In the first ever Aarhus derby in the history of the league, ASA beat AGF 3–1 at home.[12][13][14][15]
