Ikast FS is a Danish football club currently playing in the Danish 2nd Division West. In 1999, their first team merged with Herning Fremad, to found FC Midtjylland and Ikast now operates as FCM's reserve team.
They play at Ikast Stadion in Ikast in Jutland, which has a capacity of 15,000.
Of the two clubs which formed FC Midtjylland, Ikast FS were by far the stronger team. Herning were a poor 1st Division club while Ikast, a town of around 10 000 people, were too good for the 1st Division but not good enough for the Superliga. They were Danish Cup Finalists twice, once in the 80s and again in the 1997, losing to FC KØBENHAVN (Copenhagen). Herning had no such history and it must gnaw at the soul of every IFS fan that once the teams merged, it took Herning - the much larger town - little time to claim the team as its own by building the FC Midtjylland stadium on the west side of the town, Ikast lying over 10 km to the east. A terrible story of football hijacking.
