Aalborg Handball (Danish:Aalborg Håndbold) is a professionalhandball club fromAalborg,Denmark that competes in theDanish Handball League. Aalborg Håndbold play their home games in theGigantium arena in Aalborg – known as Sparekassen Danmark Arena for sponsorship reasons. Aalborg Håndbold has won 8 Danish Championships, including the 2024–25 title, and 3 Danish Cups, including the 2025 edition. In 2021 and 2024, they reached the final of theEHF Champions League.[1][2][3]
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]
In 2000,Aalborg Boldspilklub, a broader sports association most famous for itssoccer team, took over the license of the clubAalborg HSH, establishing AaB Håndbold.[4] AaB Håndbold was owned byAaB A/S. AaB Håndbold won the Danish Championship in2010 with a final victory of 2–1 in matches againstKIF 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 playerJoachim Boldsen.[4] In 2011, the team played in theEHF Champions League for the first time.[6]
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 byFC 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 theEHF 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]
