Esbjerg

Esbjerg fB, short for Esbjerg forenede Boldklubber, was founded in 1924 as a merger between Esbjerg Boldklub af 1898 and Esbjerg Amatørklub af 1911, and is based in Esbjerg, West Jylland. The club plays its home games at Blue Water Arena, its home ground since the stadium opened in 1955. Its golden years came in the first half of the 1960s under Austrian coach Rudi Strittich, with a second golden era beginning after promotion in 1974 and a spell of success around 1979. The club later moved through several periods of relegation and promotion, and after a 2024 change to local ownership it returned to the 1st Division.
