About Holbæk B&I

Holbæk B&I is a Danish football club based in Holbæk on the island of Zealand. The club was founded in 1931 through the merger of Holbæk Idrætsforening and Holbæk Boldklub, although football activities in the city date back to the early 1900s. Holbæk B&I developed as the main football representative of the region and plays its home matches at Holbæk Sportsby. The club has long been known for its strong local identity and blue colours.

The club experienced its peak period in the 1970s, when it reached the top level of Danish football and competed in the national championship. Its greatest achievement came in the 1974–75 season, when Holbæk finished as runners-up in the Danish league, narrowly missing out on the title. During the same era, the club also reached the Danish Cup final twice (1975 and 1976), marking the most successful period in its history.

In later decades, Holbæk B&I gradually declined from the top divisions and moved between the lower tiers of Danish football. Financial and sporting difficulties led to relegations, and the club has mostly competed in regional and lower national leagues since the 1990s. Despite this, it remains an important traditional club in Danish football, remembered especially for its strong 1970s generation and contribution to developing local talent.
