About AC Horsens

AC Horsens is a Danish professional football club based in the city of Horsens in Central Jutland. The club was founded in 1994 as a superstructure formed through a merger involving Horsens fS and other local clubs. It was created with the goal of strengthening elite football in the region and quickly became part of the Danish national league system. AC Horsens plays its home matches at CASA Arena Horsens.

In its early years, the club experienced rapid movement between divisions, including relegation to the lower tiers and later promotion back to the higher leagues. From the late 1990s and early 2000s, AC Horsens established itself as a stable competitor in the Danish 1st Division and eventually earned promotion to the Superliga in the mid-2000s. In its first Superliga seasons, the club became known for a defensive playing style and strong organisation, managing to secure survival against stronger opponents.

Since then, AC Horsens has alternated between the Superliga and the 1st Division, experiencing both promotions and relegations. One of its most notable achievements is reaching the final of the Danish Cup in the 2011–12 season, where it finished as runner-up. The club also gained experience in European competition after qualifying for the UEFA Europa League playoffs in 2012–13. Today, AC Horsens is recognised as a competitive Danish club with a reputation for resilience and strong defensive organisation.
