Halmstads BK

Halmstads Bollklubb, also known simply as Halmstad or (especially locally) HBK, is a Swedish football club located in Halmstad in the county of Halland, Sweden. The club, formed 7 February 1914 and approved membership in Riksidrottsförundet on 6 March 1914, competes in the second Swedish league, Superettan, and has won 4 national championship titles and 1 national cup title. HBK is a member controlled club and does not have a single owner.

The club gained some European recognition in 1995, when they defeated the successful Italian club Parma A.C. 3–0 at Gamla Ullevi (in Göteborg) in the first of two matches in the Cup Winners' Cup. However, their second encounter, in Parma, ended with a crushing 0–4 defeat, eliminating them from the tournament.

History

In the beginning

In 1913 a group of youngsters, who called themselves Viking, wishing to create a more serious organization, met at Hotel Lugnet and decided to create an organization. They gave their new organization the name Halmstads Bollklubb and chose Axel Winberg as the club's first chairman. They also applied for membership in the Riksidrottsförbundet, or the Swedish Sports Confederation.
