Mathias "P" Jensen (born 14 April 2005) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF. He made his senior debut for Brøndby in July 2025.
Early life and youth career
Mathias Jensen was born in Glostrup, Denmark, and joined Brøndby IF's academy at the age of five. He progressed through the youth teams and became a standout player at U17 and U19 level. In early 2024, he signed a U20 contract with the club.[1]
Club career
Brøndby IF
Jensen was a key player in Brøndby’s youth setup and in July 2025 signed a two-year full-time professional contract with the club, keeping him at Brøndby until June 2027.[2]
Shortly after signing the new deal, he was promoted to the first team ahead of the 2025–26 season and assigned shirt number 42. On 20 July 2025, he made his senior debut in the Danish Superliga, coming on as an early substitute in a 3–0 home victory over Silkeborg IF.[3]
Style of play
Jensen is primarily a central midfielder, but is commonly known for his versatility on the field. His tactical awareness and technical skill have allowed him to adapt to multiple positions when needed, giving his coaches additional flexibility in squad selection.[4]
Personal life
Jensen was born in Glostrup, Denmark, and grew up in Brøndby Strand, a suburb of Copenhagen. He has spent his entire youth and early professional career at Brøndby IF.
He is nicknamed "P", a humorous moniker that originated in his youth team when a coach jokingly responded to a teammate's question about Jensen's common surname by saying, "Should I call him Pedersen instead?" — leading to the nickname "P".[4]
He is the son of Danish skeet shooter Jesper Hansen, who won the silver medal in men's skeet at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
