About Boldklubben 1913

Boldklubben 1913 (B 1913) is a Danish football club based in Odense on the island of Funen. It was founded on 18 November 1913 and quickly became an important part of local football development in the region. The club plays its home matches at Campus Road (Odense Atletikstadion) and has traditionally been one of the strong provincial teams outside Copenhagen. Over time, it became known for its blue-and-white colours and long-standing presence in Danish football.

The club’s most successful period came in the 1960s, when it competed regularly in the highest Danish divisions and achieved major results. B 1913 finished as Danish league runners-up three times (1923–24, 1962, and 1963) and won the Danish Cup in 1962–63, which remains its biggest trophy. During this era, the club also played in European competitions, including the European Cup in 1961–62, where it faced strong international opponents such as Real Madrid.

In later years, B 1913 moved between divisions and gradually lost its position among Denmark’s top clubs. The professional team was involved in a merger from 2006 to 2013 with B 1909 and Dalum IF, forming FC Fyn, before returning to independent status after the project ended. Today, the club competes in the lower regional leagues but remains historically significant as one of Odense’s traditional football clubs with a strong legacy in Danish football.
