F.C. Copenhagen Handball (or simply FCK Handball) was a Danish handball team, playing in Copenhagen. They had both a male and a female team, both playing in the best Danish leagues, the Danish Handball League (men) and Danish Women's Handball League (women). FCK Handball was owned by Parken Sport & Entertainment - the same company behind the football team, F.C. Copenhagen.
The official fan club was called FCKHFC (FC København Håndbold Fan Club).
History The team was founded on June 7, 2002 after FC Copenhagen had acquired the playing licence of former Danish champions Frederiksberg IF. Both the men's and women's team played regularly in the top flight. The Danish handball icon Anja Andersen was brought in as the head coach. The clubs biggest achievement was winning the Danish Men's Handball League in 2007-08. In 2008-09 they reached the final again, where they lost to KIF Kolding.
After the 2009–10 season, Parken Sport & Entertainment returned the license to Frederiksberg IF. The male team squad became a part of AG København, when they fused with AG Håndbold. The women's team, both players and coaches, were released of their contracts.
AG København then went on to win two Danish Championships, before they declared bankruptcy and became a part of KIF Kolding København.
