Holbæk Bold- & Idrætsforening is a Danish football club currently playing in Danish 3rd Division. They play at Holbæk Sportsby in Holbæk on Zealand.
From 2008 to 2014 their first team played under the name Nordvest FC.
History
The club was founded in 1931 by the merging of Holbæk Idrætsforening and Holbæk Boldklub, after a period where Holbæk Idrætsforening had some success in regional championships. The quality of the team had declined, however, since the year 1924 where some members broke out to found Holbæk Boldklub. The reason among others for that move being that cricket was still a part of the club's activities. But on 4 August 1931 the two clubs in the rather small town decided to become one – leaving cricket on the side line.
After a long period of mediocrity the club began to rise in the 1960s, where the best team was promoted several times and ended up the Danish premier division in 1974. The 1970s turned out to be the best decade for the club ever, in which the team was the runner-up in the league once going to the cup final twice; without winning. In spite of the fact that the club did not win a title, it gained huge local popularity and fostered a couple of players for the national team.
The 1980s and 1990s however saw a steady decline for the club and in 1993 it was to be found in what was then the 6th best league in the country. From there on, things started to improve and the club won some promotions during the next decade. It was for the last few seasons among the top teams in the third best league, but in the 2007–2008 season this run came to an abrupt end with a disastrous season ending in relegation from the 2nd division. On 1 July 2008, the club – in an attempt to attract better sponsors and achieve a higher degree of professionalism, was divided in a semi-professional wing called Nordvest FC and the amateur side retaining the Holbæk B&I name.
Following economic difficulties in the 2013–14 season the professional structure, Nordvest FC, was dissolved and the first team of the club in the Danish 2nd Division East went back to the name Holbæk B&I.
The team's colors are red and white, and their logo features a lion symbolizing strength and determination. Holbæk plays their home matches at Holbæk Stadion, a modern stadium that can hold thousands of passionate fans.
Holbæk has a reputation for developing talented young players and providing them with opportunities to showcase their skills on the national and international stage. The team has a strong coaching staff that focuses on developing players both on and off the field, instilling values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.
Overall, Holbæk is a respected and competitive team in Danish soccer, with a bright future ahead as they continue to strive for success in both domestic and international competitions.
