Team Sydhavsøerne

What Team Sydhavsøerne does

Team Sydhavsøerne A/S is a private Danish Aktieselskab operating a professional men's handball club based at Ved Stadion 4 in Maribo (Lollands Bank ARENA), with roots in a 2003 merger of Rødby HK and HMH. The club fields teams in Denmark's 1. division (4th place, 37 points, 2025/26), 2. division, plus U17 and U19 youth squads, and describes itself as the region's highest-placed men's handball team. Beyond matchday operations, the organization has built a structured business ecosystem of approximately 300 partner companies across six sponsorship tiers (Final4, Liga, Guld, Sølv, Bronze, Basis), serving as a regional B2B networking platform for Lolland-Falster and, with the July 2026 Erhvervsforum Vordingborg alliance, Sydsjælland.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: tiered sponsorship and partnership contributions, ticket and season card sales (75-100 DKK match tickets; 850-1,200 DKK season cards covering 13+ home matches including cup and youth fixtures), annual events including the Vildt Sponsorcykelløb fundraiser (which raised 410,113 DKK in 2026, up from 271,000 DKK the prior year), and merchandise/event revenue via the TSØ Support fan club. Distribution is direct via venue box office, email-based sales to coordinator Bjarne Schultz, MobilePay, and TSØ Support at tsosupport.dk. Marketing is driven through tsho.dk, social channels, regional press (Folketidende Gruppen, Lollands Bank ARENA coverage), partner referrals, and ~30-35 organized events annually.

Operations are lean: 11-50 paid employees with ~75 active volunteers, sports operations led by Sportschef Morten Juul and head coach Nicolai Worsøe, and commercial activity led by Sales Coordinator Bjarne Schultz and Sales Consultant Kasper Krøyer (joined June 2026). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization is in leadership transition, with Director Morten Harkjær Nielsen departing effective 31 August 2026 and Chairman Lars Stuckert leading the search for a successor.
