FC Copenhagen — overview (around the 2016/17 period)

  • Club name: F.C. København (FC Copenhagen)
  • Founded: 1992 (merger of Kjøbenhavns Boldklub and Boldklubben 1903)
  • Home stadium: Telia Parken (commonly called Parken), Copenhagen — the national stadium and club ground
  • Club colours: White and blue
  • Main rival: Brøndby IF (The Copenhagen Derby)
  • Status: One of Denmark’s most successful and commercially strongest clubs, regularly competing for the Superliga title and in European competitions

Head coach — Ståle Solbakken

  • Norwegian manager, in his second spell at the club (he previously managed Copenhagen in the 2000s and returned in the 2010s).
  • Known for pragmatic, organized teams with emphasis on structure, pressing and transitions; flexible between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 shapes depending on opponents.
  • Under Solbakken the club aimed to combine domestic dominance with improved performances in European competitions and regular development/sale of players to bigger leagues.

2016/17 season — snapshot

  • Competitions: Danish Superliga (domestic league), DBU Pokalen (Danish Cup) and European competition involvement (qualification rounds / group-stage campaigns, depending on prior-season placement).
  • Approach: Solbakken typically rotated the squad across domestic and European fixtures, blending experienced internationals and academy-developed players.
  • Typical tactics: compact defensive organization, quick wing play and use of a central creative player to link midfield and attack; set-piece focus was an important part of match preparation.

Club structure & player development

  • FC Copenhagen relies heavily on a mix of homegrown talent and targeted international signings, with player sales to larger European leagues forming a central part of the club’s business model.
  • The youth academy and reserve setup regularly feed first-team opportunities to promising Danish players.

Fanbase & atmosphere

  • Parken provides one of the larger capacities in Denmark; the club enjoys strong local support and high attendances for big domestic fixtures and European nights.
