Rasmus Festersen (born 26 August 1986 in Viborg, Denmark) is a Danish footballer who currently plays as an attacking midfielder/striker for OB in the Danish Superliga.
Rasmus Festersen signed his first professional contract with Danish club Silkeborg IF who had invited him to try out for the team during the off season in the summer of 2007. Silkeborg manager Peder Knudsen said about Festersen: "Rasmus has done very well during the daily training and in friendly matches. We hope that he can develop his game even more as a full time professional player, because he is undoubtedly a very exciting type. He is real "football-smart" and has some great offensive qualities.
Festersen got his debut on his 21st birthday 26 August 2007 against Frem. He came on as a substitute in the 10th minute of the game replacing the injured Kim Olsen. Silkeborg won 3-2 and Festersen made a promising first appearance with an assist to fellow striker Simon Azoulay Pedersen goal, just six minutes after he went on the pitch.
On September 5, 2007 Festersen scored his first goal for the club helping Silkeborg to a 2-0 win against FC Svendborg in the Danish Cup.
During his brief time at Silkeborg IF Festersen drew attention to himself as the fastest player in the squad., but eventually he failed to become a regular starter. After only six months at the club, he moved to lower ranking Slagelse B&I in January 2008, becoming one of the first signings after the club's newly set ambitions of returning to the top of Danish football within six years.
Festersen immediately became a big success scoring nine goals in 15 games in the spring of 2008 helping his club to a take fifth position in the 2nd Division East.
In the 2008/09 season he scored 20 goals for the club, which had then changed their name to FC Vestsjælland. FC Vestsjælland won promotion to the Danish 1st Division, with Festersen honored as the 2nd Division East Player of the Year.
