International career edit
Jørgensen played in seven matches for Denmark.[1] His debut was in October 1923,[6] a 3–1 friendly victory over Sweden at Råsunda Stadium in Stockholm.[7] In the match, Jørgensen's 87th minute free kick found the head of teammate Viggo Jørgensen, who nodded the ball down to the third Danish goalscorer of the day, Karl Wilhelmsen.[8] He represented Denmark at two Nordic Football Championships, including the 1924–28 championship that was won by Jørgensen's Denmark[9] and the 1929–32 championship where Denmark finished third.[1][10] Jørgensen retired from both club and international football shortly after his final match for his country, a 5–2 defeat at home to Norway in the 1929–32 championship.[11]
