Club career

Falk started his career at Middelfart G&BK and moved to Odense Boldklub (OB) alongside future Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan player, Christian Eriksen in 2005. He made his debut for OB in 2010 against AGF. Falk then signed a contract extension with OB, keeping him at the club until 30 June 2016.

Copenhagen

On 20 January 2016, Falk signed a pre-contract with Copenhagen, as he turned down a contract extension for OB, meaning that he could move as a free agent in the summer.[1] On 1 July 2016, he officially moved to Copenhagen on a four-year contract.

Falk made his Copenhagen debut on 13 July 2016 and scored the final goal in the 3–0 Champions League qualification away win over Crusaders.[2] In his first season at the club, he won the double; the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup.[3]

On 5 August 2020, Falk scored the third goal in a 3–0 win over Turkish champions İstanbul Başakşehir to secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.[4]

International career

On 29 August 2013, Falk was called up to play for the Denmark national team.[5] He played the first half of a 2–1 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Malta on 6 September 2013.[6]
