BK Häcken

Bollklubben Häcken, commonly known as BK Häcken or simply Häcken, is a Swedish professional football club based in Gothenburg (Hisingen) that plays in the Allsvenskan. Formed on 2 August 1940 by a group of 14- to 15-year-old youngsters, the club takes its name from the hedge (häck) that grew around the field where they practised, and its colours are yellow and black. The club plays its home games at Nordic Wellness Arena.

Häcken rose quickly through the league system in the 1940s and 1950s, first reached Allsvenskan in 1983, and later achieved its best league finish, second place, in 2012. The club won the Svenska Cupen in 2016, 2019 and 2023, and became Swedish champions in 2022, its first league title.
