Hi,
After reading that the new feature of Transfer Deadline Day is only available in the biggest leagues it was dissapointing to be advised that not only do we not have the possibility to enjoy this feature in the danish Superliga, but we can't even participate in the last transfer day as it has been possible for a few years ind FM now. Therefor, I now request the Transfer Deadline Day to be added to the Danish Superliga featuring below mentioned media links for the massively increasing coverage of the hectic Transfer Deadline Day in both the top league but mainly the Superliga plus the many special signings.
All of below references are being compared to this website which sums up all of the major danish medias and newspapers: https://www.prodenmark.com/danish-service-companies/danish-media/

Viasat is the main TV Corporation for football in Denmark showing most matches of Superligaen and most international leagues. They provide a 7 hour stream from 6 PM to midnight in their football studio on national TV walking us through all the news on deadline day to their 1,2 million users out of a total population in Denmark of 5,8 million.

Even though they are a newspaper and internet media they provide a livestream for the whole last day of transfers which interviews and talks with all the danish clubs in Superliga where even the top clubs provide information and stories about transfer rumours. They have various journalists driving around all day to hunt down the latest news and also drove to Roskilde Lufthavn to welcome players like Lukas Lerager in January 2021 to Copenhagen with a last minute move, Mikael Andersons hectic move from FC Midtjylland to AGF which was on and off for the entire last day in September 2021 and only just confirmed after-hours. Zankas last-minute move to his home-club FC Copenhagen in October 2020 covering the story as the first media plus several other transfer day deals like Wahid Faghirs big move to Stutgart, Stephen Odeys surpringsinly loan move from Genk to Randers FC, M.

After review of above mentioned TV corporations, news media etc. they all share the same hashtags on Twitter and other social medias for all of the news coverage on transfer deadline day where journalists from all medias checks up on rumours on a minute-basis which puts all the danish viewers and football fans providing both a hectic, fun and exciting last day of transfers. That includes even the Danish professional players and the clubs from Superligaen, and also international leagues, joining in on Transfer Day which expands more and more each year.

I am sure that many of above mentioned actions and moves also is a thing in other minor leagues, but nontheless is Transfer Deadline Day something special in Denmark where the biggest and most controversial moves happens compared to the rest of the transfer window. It should be applauded by adding excitement to the less interesting leagues with one very special day of the year where something extraordinary happens more than in a major league where the best players play anyway and where you can attract all players every day of the year, opposite the smaller clubs in a smaller league.
