History

The club was founded on 24 May 1908 by several boys among them the four Jansen brothers - Hans, Jens, Crilles and Edvard - aged 10 to 15 years old, choosing Harry Osbeck as the first chairman. The club's first match was won 3-0 against ''Thingvalla''. In 1912 the team was co-founder of regional football association, Amager Boldspil-Union (ABU), winning the first tournament under the new association's auspices.
