The Danish Superliga continues to astonish with its authentic traditions. After the conclusion of one of Sønderjyske's recent matches, spectators witnessed a truly unique award ceremony.
Details: The footballer named man of the match received not the usual trophy, but an entire wheelbarrow filled to the brim with 55 kilograms of potatoes.
Such a creative approach to rewarding athletes is rooted in the club's close ties with local farms and regional sponsors. In the photo, the delighted winner poses next to the mountain of potatoes, which weighs more than half his own body weight.
