Aalborg Håndbold

Aalborg HSH

The precursor to Aalborg Håndbold, Aalborg HSH, was founded in 2000 as a fusion of the clubs Vadum and Aalborg KFUM. The ambition was to create a first league team in Northern Jutland. It did however not see much sporting success.^[4]

AaB Håndbold

In 2000, Aalborg Boldspilklub, a broader sports association most famous for its soccer team, took over the license of the club Aalborg HSH, establishing AaB Håndbold.^[4] AaB Håndbold was owned by AaB A/S. AaB Håndbold won the Danish Championship in 2010 with a final victory of 2–1 in matches against KIF Kolding after six free throws in the free throw competition in match 3.^[5] This ushered in a period where big names could be brought to the club, including Danish national team player Joachim Boldsen.^[4] In 2011, the team played in the EHF Champions League for the first time.^[6]

Aalborg Håndbold

In January 2011, the license was given to a new company called "Aalborg Håndbold A/S," and the team changed name to Aalborg Håndbold.^[4] Behind the new company are businessman Eigild B. Christensen and director Jan Larsen, both from Aalborg. Aalborg Håndbold won the Danish Championship in 2013, with an overall 11-goal victory over KIF Kolding Copenhagen. In 2014, Aalborg finished in second place and qualified for the Champions League 1/16 final, where they were defeated by FC Barcelona. In 2017, Aalborg won the Danish Championship for the third time. From 2019 to 2021, they won the Danish Championship three times in a row. In 2021, Aalborg reached the final of the EHF Champions League, becoming the only Danish and Nordic men's team to have done so in the Champions League era, losing to FC Barcelona.^[2] In 2023–24, Aalborg won their seventh Danish Championship and reached the EHF Champions League final, again losing to FC Barcelona.^[7][8] In 2024–25, they secured their eighth Danish Championship and third Danish Cup.^[9] That season they had the highest number of average spectators in Danish league history with 5,145.^[10]
