history
The association was founded in 1889 by a group of students. The only requirement for admission was membership at the university. Between 1889 and 1903 the club took part in a competition in which the unofficial championship was held. The new club won a Danish championship in its first season. Seven teams took part at the time; was played once against everyone. With six wins from six matches, AB Gladsaxe was the most successful team and won the title. With 32 goals scored and only four goals conceded, the team had the best goal difference. The following year you had to give up Kjøbenhavns Boldklub , but then won the title again in 1891/92. Out of five teams, three had the same number of points; AB won because of the better goal difference. The title was defended in 1894, 1895 and 1896. It was not until 1896/97 that Kjøbenhavns Boldklub managed to overthrow the university club. In 1898/99 the title was won again. 1903/04 AB Gladsaxe took part in a Copenhagen championship, which was held in the first year with five teams (BK Frem København, Kjøbenhavns Boldklub, B.93 Copenhagen , Østerbros BK and AB Gladsaxe). For the season 1912/13 this was converted into the national championship. Until 1918, AB was less successful there. In 1909, 1911 and 1917 they became runner-up; it was not until 1919 that the team won the championship again for the first time in twenty years. Another success followed in 1921. The club experienced another heyday between 1943 and 1952: Within a few years, AB won four championship titles. Between 1943 and 1957, the team never did worse than fourth place. In 1960 they rose as eleventh (of twelve) in the second division, but returned after a year to relegate again in 1964. Again, the rise lasted only one season and they reported back in 1966 with sixth place.

Note : yellow = ascent / master, red = descent |
The last title so far was in 1967. With 14 wins and 31 points, AB had two more than competitor BK Frem København . In 1968 AB took part in the 2nd Intertoto Cup , but retired in Group B7 with only one win as the last. Only in the 1-0 win against FC Tirol Innsbruck did they keep the points. They lost 2-0 away against German representatives Eintracht Braunschweig , but were able to win a point at 0-0 at home.
Since the 1970s, and especially after the introduction of professional football in the 1980s, the club sank more and more into insignificance. In 1973 they were relegated again. This time the immediate ascent did not succeed. In 1985 there was even a crash into the third division, from which the return to the second division only succeeded in 1994. Two years later, in 1996, followed the last ascent to the first class and the first membership in the super league , when they were runner-up in the second division behind Hvidovre IF . In April 1998 Per Frimann became president of the association. Shortly thereafter, he suspended the then coach Christian Andersen after he had announced that he would switch to league rivals FC Copenhagen in October 1998 . In 1999, the club won the Landspokalturneringen , the Danish Cup, for the first time in the club's history , and achieved third place in the league, which was defended the following year. Already in 1956 and 1995 the team had been in the final of the cup, but had to admit defeat 0: 1 to BK Frem København and almost forty years later 0: 5 to FC Copenhagen. In the 1999 final they faced Aalborg BK and won 2-1. At that time, AB player René Henriksen was chosen for the Man of the Match . Two years later they were in the final again, but had to admit defeat to Silkeborg IF 1: 4. With Jan Michaelsen an AB player was again the best player of the match.
By finishing third in the league in 1999, the club was eligible to participate in the 1999/2000 UEFA Cup . There they were eliminated after the first round with 0: 2 and 1: 1 against Grasshopper Zurich . The following year they were eliminated in the qualifying round for the UEFA Cup . In the 2003/04 season they found themselves in the table basement after four games without a win at the start of the season. With 17 points from 33 games, 14 points were missing from a non-relegation zone. Since relegation in 2004, AB has been playing in the second highest Danish division, the Viasat Sport Division . After relegation, they reached eleventh place in the second division and were temporarily in danger of being relegated again. In the following year it was only enough for twelfth place, three points before the first relegated Lolland-Falster Alliances . It was not until 2007/08 that they recovered and achieved a single-digit place in the table with seventh place. A year later, the team just missed promotion. Behind Herfølge BK and Silkeborg IF it was only enough for third place.
In the run-up to the 2009/10 season, the club invested a lot of money in new players in order to be able to play first-class again. Among others, Casper Henningsen , Simon Bræmer and Carsten Fredgaard were signed up , some of whom can look back on national team activities . But all efforts were only enough for fourth place. In the season 2011/12 AB left the relegation ranks only on the last day of the game by an away win at Hobro IK .
useful information
The physicists Harald and Niels Bohr once played for the club. Other players were Knud Lundberg , who was a Danish national football, handball and basketball player, and Karl Aage Hansen , who scored 17 goals for Denmark in 22 international matches. While the Bohr brothers played for the AB at the turn of the century, Lundberg and Handen were active in the club's second successful period between the end of World War II and the mid-1950s.
