Hjalte Bidstrup (born 15February 2006) is a Danish footballer who currently plays for Viborg in the Danish Superliga.
Bidstrup moved from HB Køge at the age of 12 to join Copenhagen. He spent more than seven years in the club's youth academy, making eight appearances during the youth team's 2023âÂÂ24 UEFA Youth League campaign, where he scored one goal in a 6âÂÂ0 win over Galatasaray on 12 December 2023. During Copenhagen's 2024âÂÂ25 season, he made three match-day squad lists for the first team, though he was an unused substitution in each of those occasions.
On 3February 2025, it was announced that Bidstrup had moved to Viborg, citing his desire for first-team football. He agreed with the club to a contract through to the summer of 2029, which included a clause in which Copenhagen may match future transfer offers. He made his debut for the club on 2 March, coming on as a substitute in a 3âÂÂ1 league victory over Vejle. During the team's 2025âÂÂ26 season, he was moved to left-back as teammate Jean-Manuel Mbom frequently played as right-back. On 1 March 2026, he scored his first goal for Viborg in a 2âÂÂ1 win over FC Nordsjælland. His goal was the match winner, and secured Viborg a place in the 2025âÂÂ26 Danish Superliga Championship round.
Bidstrup made his international debut for the Denmark U17 team on 4 August 2022 in a 12âÂÂ0 victory over Northern Ireland U17. On 11 February 2023, he scored his first goal for the U17 team in a 4âÂÂ4 draw against Croatia U17.
Hjalte is the younger brother of Mads Bidstrup.
