THE STADIUM EXPERIENCE

  • The Stadium

    Valby Idrætspark has a capacity of 10,000 spectators, 4,100 of whom can sit down. It is a classic stadium with a grass pitch measuring 102 x 75 meters. The main stand, which was renovated most recently in 2017, offers a good view of the pitch and is inspired by the Banbury stand in Coventry. Behind the goal, there is room for both the hardcore fans and those who just want to enjoy a good match in a festive atmosphere.

     

    The Club's History

    Boldklubben Frem, also known as BK Frem, was founded on July 17, 1886, as Fremskridtsklubbens Cricketklub. The club, located in Valby-Sydhavnen in Copenhagen, is one of Denmark's oldest football clubs. Frem has won the Danish championship six times and the cup tournament twice. The club has had an eventful existence, having played in both the Superliga and the Copenhagen Series. Today, BK Frem plays in the 2nd Division.

     

  • The surroundings

    The stadium is located in an area steeped in history and local culture. Valby Idrætspark was originally used for football in 1913 and has since been a central part of the local community. Around the stadium, you will find green spaces, perfect for a pre-match picnic, and plenty of options for a bite to eat or a beer at nearby cafes and bars.

     

  • The match experience

    The fans are passionate, and the atmosphere is always fantastic. There are no pretensions here – it’s all about genuine football joy and community. You’ll quickly feel like part of the family as you stand shoulder to shoulder with the locals and cheer on the team. Especially if you’ve started on some of the refreshments in the Sydhavn/Valby area. It’s a bit of a shame that the pitch is artificial turf, though... They certainly don’t get any credit for that decision.
