Youth career

Tengstedt started playing football at local club Nibe Boldklub, where his father, Kim Tengstedt, was his coach for several year.[2] At the age of 11, Tengstedt moved to Aalborg Freja before joining AaB as a U13 player. After a half year at AaB, he was named AaB U13 player of the year.[2] On his 15th birthday, 30 June 2015, Tengstedt signed a two-year youth contract with AaB.[2]

In the summer 2017, Tengstedt tore his cruciate ligament and was sidelined for one year.[3] The injury ruined his first year as a U19 player and when he returned, he played with the second U19 team. He returned to the best U19 team in October 2018.

After four Danish Superliga games for AaB, Tengstedt was surprisingly selected for the Denmark national under-21 football team.[6]
