[edit] Biography
Kvist played in KB, one of the two clubs behind F.C. Copenhagen, since his early childhood. While at KB, he made his debut for the Danish youth national teams in November 2000 and played 4 matches at the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship.
William was promoted to the first team in 2004. He debuted on 2005-04-23 against FC Nordsjælland where he replaced an injured Ole Tobiasen on the right back position. His first F.C. Copenhagen goal came on October 22, 2006 in a 3-0 win against Viborg FF, where he scored the last goal on a long shot.
Against Ajax Amsterdam in the UEFA Champions League 3rd qualification round 2006 it was Kvist's pass that got deflected by Ajax-defender Thomas Vermaelen into an own goal. A goal that eventually sent F.C. Copenhagen to the Champions League Group Stage.
He has a past as handball player, and is therefore known for his very long throw-ins. In the season 2005-06, he often came in as substitute on mostly the left wing - a position he don't like to play. He has also played in the defense and on other midfield positions.
Kvist was called up for the league national team, which will play a number of unofficial national team games in the United States, El Salvador and Honduras in January 2007, by national team manager Morten Olsen. He played the first game of the tour; a 3-1 loss to the United States national team on January 20, 2007.
