Ølstykke FC


Ølstykke Fodbold Club ; also known as Ølstykke FC or ØFC) is an association football club based in the town of Ølstykke on Zealand, Denmark. The men's team competes in the Series 1, the sixth tier of the Danish football league system and the second tier of the regional DBU Zealand competitions.
The club was founded on 18 May 1918 as Ølstykke Idrætsforening, as the club also had a basketball department. In 1986, the name was changed to Ølstykke FC as the club wanted to focus solely on football.
The first team which was represented in the higher tiers was renamed FC Egedal on 1 July 2009, and a new logo was created alongside a new green and white uniform, with plans of functioning as a professional superstructure of its parent club after an approval was granted by the Danish Football Union. Prior to this, the club board had failed in an attempt to buy out neighbour club Stenløse Boldklub to establish a broad elite superstructure between the two clubs. Italian head coach, Giuseppe Favasuli, who took over as head coach in Ølstykke in May 2008, was scheduled to continue as the first head coach of the elite club's senior team in the Danish 2nd Division West. However, all plans were abandoned shortly after, at the end of July of the same year, due to major financial problems in the professional company behind the elite team. As a consequence of its filing for bankruptcy in the DBU, the first team was forcibly relegated down two divisions before the start of the new season, and had to start the 2009-10 season in the highest regional division of the DBU Zealand, the Zealand Series.
In 2011, the club eventually merged with the neighboring club Stenløse Boldklub and became SC Egedal. In 2015, Stenløse left out the merger, and Ølstykke FC was re-established in Series 3, one of the bottom tiers of Danish football.
