HB Køge

What HB Køge does

HB Køge is a Danish professional football club headquartered at Ved Stadion 4, 1. sal, 4600 Køge, organized as the public limited company HB Køge A/S. The club fields a senior men's team competing in the Betinia Liga (Denmark's second tier), a women's team, and a youth academy covering U13 through U19 age groups. Home matches are played at Capelli Sport Stadion, and the club is closely associated with the "Svanerne" (The Swans) brand identity, including the organized supporter group Svanerne / HB Køge Support.

The club operates four primary revenue streams. Matchday income comes from single-match tickets (50–120 DKK online or at the door) sold through the Eventii-powered platform and at Capelli Sport Stadion. Recurring revenue is generated by monthly auto-renewing season card subscriptions priced at 39 DKK (juniors), 59 DKK (pensioners), and 79 DKK (adults), with flexible cancellation after the current month. Merchandise is sold via Svane-Shoppen, which operates a physical store at the stadium on matchdays and a 24/7 online shop at svane-shoppen.dk. The fourth stream is B2B sponsorship and partnership revenue, organized through NETVÆRKET, a six-tier ecosystem (Hovedpartner, Europartnere, Nationalpartnere, Regionalpartnere, Lokalpartnere, Holdpartnere) marketed as the region's largest business network, hosting 40+ annual networking events and offering matchday hospitality via the Scor.dk-lounge and Pre-Match events.

HB Køge's underlying technology is intentionally lightweight: operations run on the Eventii Eventmanager platform (in place since 2019) for ticket and access management, season cards, VIP management, and partner coordination, and the club is present on Facebook and Instagram (@hbkogemen) with a newsletter as direct fan channels. Distribution is hybrid — direct B2B sales for partnerships (sales contact: Mikkel Winterberg) and online + at-the-door + physical-store channels for tickets and merchandise. The club does not disclose revenue, and there are no public funding rounds, acquisitions, or AI/ML capabilities in the source data.
