Biography

Born in Roskilde, Qvist started playing football in local clubs Himmelev-Veddelev BK and KFUM Roskilde. From his early years, Lasse Qvist was a fan of F.C. Copenhagen (FCK), and as an 8-year old boy, he had an FCK-shirt with the number 11 and his name printed on the back.

Aged 14, he switched to the bigger club Lyngby BK and went on to play for various Danish youth national teams. He scored 18 goals in 20 matches for the Danish under-17 national team, and won the 2003 Danish "Under-17 Player of the Year" award. He also played at the 2003 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship. After three years at Lyngby, he moved to the youth academy of Dutch team PSV Eindhoven. He had a hard time getting any social contacts with his PSV team mates, as most of them lived in Belgium and went home straight after training."FCK Balls" #1, Advice A/S, Jesper Traunberg, November 2005, pp. 82-85]

He moved back to Denmark in 2005, and went on to play for Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB), the reserve team of F.C. Copenhagen (FCK). In November 2006, Qvist got his first team début for FCK, when he played the last 30 minutes of the Royal League match against Lillestrøm S.K. at Åråsen Stadium. He was brought on as substitute for Jeppe Brandrup.
