Boldklubben 1903
Denmark · Founded: 1903
Boldklubben 1903 (B 1903) was a Danish football club based in Copenhagen, founded on 2 June 1903. It became one of the prominent clubs in Danish football, competing for many years in the top divisions and building a strong reputation domestically. The club played its home matches at Gentofte Sportspark and was known for its consistent presence in Danish league competitions.
B 1903 achieved significant success, winning the Danish championship seven times (1920, 1924, 1926, 1938, 1969, 1970, and 1976) and the Danish Cup twice. The club was particularly strong in different eras, showing both early dominance and a resurgence in the late 1960s and 1970s. Internationally, its best performance came in the 1991–92 UEFA Cup, where it reached the quarter-finals after notable victories over clubs such as Bayern Munich and Aberdeen.
In 1992, Boldklubben 1903 underwent a major transformation when it merged with Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) to form FC Copenhagen. As part of this merger, B 1903 transferred its league license to the new club, effectively ending its role as an independent top-level team. Despite this, the club continues to exist in a reduced capacity, maintaining its legacy as one of the historically important teams in Danish football.
