About FC Copenhagen
FC Copenhagen was formed on 1 July 1992 from two Copenhagen clubs: Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) and Boldklubben 1903. KB was founded in 1876 and is often called the oldest football club in continental Europe. B 1903 had a famous European night of its own just before the merger, beating Bayern Munich 6–2 at Gentofte in the 1991–92 UEFA Cup and knocking them out. The new club won the Danish title in its very first league season, 1992–93, under Benny Johansen.
FCK play at Parken, built between 1990 and 1992 on the site of Idrætsparken, which had been Denmark's national stadium since 1911. Parken has hosted two European finals. Arsenal beat Parma 1–0 there in the 1994 Cup Winners' Cup final, and Galatasaray beat Arsenal on penalties after a 0–0 draw in the 2000 UEFA Cup final. The dugout has seen some big names too. Roy Hodgson, a future England manager, won the 2000–01 Superliga and left for Udinese a few weeks later. Ståle Solbakken, whose playing career ended after a cardiac arrest in FCK training in March 2001, came back from HamKam to manage the club twice. Ariël Jacobs won the 2012–13 title, and Jacob Neestrup, promoted from assistant in September 2022, won the 2022–23 title.
Europe has given FC Copenhagen many of its best nights. The club won the first Royal League in 2005 against IFK Göteborg on penalties. In 2006–07 they knocked out Ajax to reach the Champions League group stage, where Marcus Allbäck's 73rd-minute goal beat Manchester United 1–0 at Parken. They reached the Champions League last 16 for the first time in 2010–11, going out to Chelsea. In November 2023, 17-year-old Roony Bardghji scored an 87th-minute winner to beat Manchester United 4–3, and FCK finished second in their group before Manchester City knocked them out.
Parken has also been a launchpad for players. Brede Hangeland joined Fulham, William Kvist went to VfB Stuttgart, Thomas Delaney to Werder Bremen, Robert Skov to Hoffenheim after 29 Superliga goals, and Rasmus Højlund to Sturm Graz on a path that led to Manchester United. The club-record sale came in August 2024, when Orri Óskarsson joined Real Sociedad for €20m. Think you know the Lions from KB and B 1903 to the Champions League knockout rounds? Take the quiz and find out.
