History

BK Häcken was established in 1970 as Landvetters IF in Landvetter, a town near Gothenburg. In 2004, the club moved into Gothenburg city and changed its name to Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC accordingly.[1]

Veteran Bo Falk was the club's head coach from 1999 until 2004. From 2005 until 2007, the coach was Martin Pringle.[2] He was replaced by Torbjörn Nilsson for the 2008 season.

In the 2010 Damallsvenskan season, Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC finished as runners-up and qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time. In 2011, they won the Swedish Cup on a penalty shootout over Tyresö, before retaining the trophy in 2012 by beating Tyresö in the final again.[3]

Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC won their first league title in 2020.[4] On 29 December 2020, the club board announced that its intention to cease operating the first team in the Damallsvenskan.[5] Two days later, it reversed the decision to continue in 2021.[6][7] However, on 28 January the club became the women's department of BK Häcken, a men's football club also based in Gothenburg and playing in top tier.[8]
