Early life
Jonas Wind was born on 7 February 1999 in Hvidovre, Denmark.[1][10] He is the son of Per Wind, a former professional goalkeeper who later became a board member at BK Frem.[1][11] Wind began his youth football career at the age of eight, joining Avedøre IF in 2007, where he developed his early skills in local competitions.[1][12] In 2010, at age 11, he moved to Rosenhøj Boldklub, a club known for nurturing young talent in the Copenhagen area, continuing his progression through youth ranks.[1][11]Youth career
Jonas Wind began his youth football career with local clubs in the Copenhagen area. He first played for Avedøre IF from 2007 to 2010, followed by a stint at Rosenhøj Boldklub between 2010 and 2012.[1] At the age of 13, Wind joined the youth academy of FC Copenhagen in 2012, where he developed through the club's talent program, including time with Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB), a partner club.[13][1][14] During the 2015/16 season, Wind's under-17 team won the Danish U17 championship, with him serving as the top scorer with 28 goals.[13] He progressed to the U19 squad from 2016 to 2019, where he excelled in the 2016/17 U19 Boys League, scoring 13 goals in 17 appearances.[4][1] In 2018, Wind also claimed the KB memorial trophy Granen and began featuring for FC Copenhagen's reserve team (FC København II) until 2019, marking his transition toward senior football.[13][1]Club career
FC Copenhagen
Jonas Wind progressed through the youth ranks at FC Copenhagen, joining the club's academy in 2012 after stints at Avedøre IF and Rosenhøj Boldklub. He signed his first professional contract with the senior team on his 19th birthday, February 7, 2018, and made his debut just two weeks later on February 22, 2018, as a substitute in a 1–0 UEFA Europa League knockout playoff defeat away to Atlético Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.[13][15] Wind scored his first senior goal for the club on April 18, 2018, volleying in a set-piece delivery in the 12th minute during a 2–1 Danish Superliga victory over AaB at Parken Stadium.[16] The 2018–19 season marked his breakthrough, as he featured in 17 league matches and contributed to FC Copenhagen's Superliga title win, their 13th in club history, finishing one point ahead of Midtjylland. Over his time at the club, Wind amassed 46 goals in 114 appearances across all competitions, including 14 in European fixtures.[17][18] In the 2020–21 campaign, Wind emerged as a key forward, scoring 11 goals in 25 Superliga outings and earning the Danish Football Association's Young Male Talent of the Year award.[13] He netted twice in a 3–0 Champions League qualifying win over İstanbul Başakşehir on August 5, 2020, helping secure progression to the next round.[19] The following season, 2021–22, saw him play a pivotal role in another title triumph, with FC Copenhagen clinching the Superliga by nine points; Wind contributed 14 goals in 21 league games before departing mid-season.[20][18] Wind's versatility as a striker allowed him to feature in multiple European campaigns, including three Europa League group stage participations (2018–19, 2019–20, 2021–22), where he scored five goals in 14 matches.[18] His development at the club culminated in a €12 million transfer to VfL Wolfsburg on January 31, 2022, after signing a pre-contract in October 2021.[19]VfL Wolfsburg
On 31 January 2022, Wind transferred from FC Copenhagen to VfL Wolfsburg for a reported fee of €12 million, signing a contract until 30 June 2026.[21][22] He made an immediate impact, scoring his first competitive goal for the club on 19 February 2022, opening the scoring in a 1–2 Bundesliga defeat to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. That month, Wind earned the Bundesliga Goal of the Month award for a long-range strike in a 3–1 win over 1. FC Union Berlin.[2] Wind's performances at Wolfsburg have varied across seasons, with a breakthrough in 2023–24 when he became a regular starter. Injuries limited his play in 2022–23 and parts of other campaigns, but he has established himself as a key forward, known for his aerial ability and finishing. In September 2025, the club considered extending his contract amid interest from other European teams.[22] His Bundesliga statistics with Wolfsburg are summarized below:| Season | Appearances | Goals | Assists |

International career
Youth international career
Jonas Wind began his international career with Denmark's youth teams at the under-17 level in 2015. He earned 12 caps for the Denmark U17 side, scoring 4 goals during his time with the team. Notably, Wind was part of the squad that qualified for and participated in the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship held in Azerbaijan, where he made 3 appearances without scoring.[13][26] Wind progressed to the Denmark U18 team in 2016, accumulating 3 caps but no goals in limited appearances, primarily in friendly matches. His development continued with the under-19 side from 2017 to 2018, where he featured in 9 matches and demonstrated his scoring prowess with 8 goals. Although Denmark did not qualify for the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship during this period, Wind's performances highlighted his potential as a forward.[13] In 2019, Wind transitioned to the Denmark U21 team, securing 7 caps and 1 goal before his senior debut later that year. He contributed to the qualification campaign and was selected for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Italy and San Marino, making 3 appearances in the group stage as Denmark exited in the group phase. These youth international experiences underscored his rapid rise through the Danish setup.[13][26][5]Senior international career
Jonas Wind received his first senior call-up to the Denmark national team in October 2020, during a period of transition for the squad ahead of UEFA Euro 2020.[27] He made his debut on October 7, 2020, as a substitute in a friendly match against the Faroe Islands, entering in the 72nd minute during Denmark's 4–0 victory at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.[28] Wind's early international exposure came in friendlies and UEFA Nations League fixtures, where he quickly demonstrated his potential as a forward. Wind scored his first international goal on November 11, 2020, netting the opener in a 2–0 friendly win over Sweden, contributing to Denmark's strong pre-tournament form. Four days later, he appeared in the UEFA Nations League against Iceland (2–1 win), followed by a substitute role in the 2–4 defeat to Belgium on November 18, where he scored Denmark's second goal in a competitive match. These performances earned him a spot in the UEFA Euro 2020 squad, delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wind featured in three matches during the tournament, including the group stage loss to Finland (0–1) and the round-of-16 victory over Wales (4–0), as well as the dramatic semi-final penalty shootout defeat to England (1–2 after extra time). In the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Wind became a regular contributor, starting in several matches and scoring twice: once in a 2–0 away win against Israel on March 25, 2021, where he also provided an assist, and again in a 1–0 victory over the Faroe Islands on September 4, 2021. Denmark topped their group to qualify for the World Cup, though Wind did not feature in the tournament finals due to injury concerns and squad selection. He also participated in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League, scoring in a 2–0 home win against Austria on June 13, 2022, helping secure promotion to League A. Wind's form continued into the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers, where he netted three goals across eight appearances, including the winner against Northern Ireland in a 1–0 victory on 16 June 2023, and one each against San Marino in a 4–0 home win on 7 September 2023 and Kazakhstan in a 3–1 home win on 14 October 2023. Denmark finished atop Group H unbeaten, with Wind's contributions underscoring his role in the attack alongside stars like Christian Eriksen. At UEFA Euro 2024, he started all three group stage matches—draws against Slovenia (1–1), England (1–1), and Serbia (0–0)—before appearing in the round-of-16 loss to Germany (0–2) on June 29, 2024. His tournament involvement highlighted his growing importance, logging over 270 minutes without scoring but providing defensive solidity and link-up play. As of October 2025, Wind has earned 44 caps for Denmark, scoring 9 goals and providing 9 assists.[27] In the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League, he featured in four group matches against Switzerland, Serbia, and Spain, contributing to Denmark's promotion efforts with 89 minutes played, though without goals.[29] During the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Wind scored the winner in a 1–0 home victory over Northern Ireland on October 14, 2025, in Copenhagen, helping maintain Denmark's strong start in Group C.[30] He also played in the 6–0 away win against Belarus on October 9, 2025, solidifying his status as a key squad member under coach Brian Riemer. A hamstring injury in September 2022 briefly sidelined him, causing him to miss several fixtures, but he has since established himself as a reliable starter.Personal life
