Sport helps internationals build social life and startup in Denmark

Building a social life in Denmark can be difficult for international residents.

A Romanian expat in Copenhagen found a solution through sports.

Octavian Butnaru is twenty-eight years old.

He moved to Copenhagen nearly three years ago.

Despite living abroad before, he struggled to make local friends.

He discovered that participating in sports helped him connect with others.

Now he is turning that experience into a business.

He is building a sports startup to help other newcomers find community.

Many internationals move here for career and financial opportunities.

However, creating a strong social network remains a major challenge.

His new initiative aims to bridge that gap through athletic activities.

The story was reported by The Copenhagen Post.
