FC Nerds is a reality television sports franchise developed by Nordisk Film that originated in Denmark in 2004 from the television program FC Zulu. The show follows a number of nerdy young men with no experience in playing association football being trained by a famous football player in order to face a football club in the country's highest national league after a few months. The format has been nominated for the Rose d'Or and, in 2005, an International Emmy Award in the Non-Scripted Entertainment category. Several international versions of the show spawned, including in Australia, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden. Teams from these international versions would sometimes compete against the Danish FC Zulu team.
