About Herfølge Boldklub

Herfølge Boldklub was a Danish football club based in Herfølge, a suburb south of Køge on the island of Zealand. The club was founded in 1921 and developed as a traditional local team, gradually climbing through the Danish league system. It played its home matches at Herfølge Stadion and became an established part of regional football in Denmark.

The club’s greatest achievement came in the 1999–2000 season, when Herfølge Boldklub surprisingly won the Danish championship, one of the biggest shocks in the history of the league. This success also gave the club the opportunity to compete in European competitions, including the UEFA Cup, where it faced stronger international opponents. The championship victory remains the defining moment in the club’s history.

In the following years, Herfølge struggled to maintain top-level status and experienced relegations and financial challenges. In 2009, its professional first team merged with Køge Boldklub to form HB Køge, effectively ending Herfølge’s independent presence in professional football. Despite this, the club’s legacy is strongly remembered due to its unexpected league title and its role in Danish football history.
