DBU Bornholm

What DBU Bornholm does

DBU Bornholm is one of six local football unions (lokalunioner) operating under the Danish Football Association (DBU) and coordinating through DBU Bredde. Headquartered at Torneværksvej 1 in Rønne, the organization serves approximately 25 football clubs on Bornholm island, providing grassroots football development, tournament organization, coach and referee education, club leadership training, and volunteer management support. The organization operates with a small staff of 5 employees and is led by Chairman Flemming Bærnthsen.

The core technology stack is the unified IT Klubpakken (IT Club Package) distributed through the national DBU ecosystem. KlubOffice provides comprehensive club administration including member management, online registration, tournament sign-ups, team cards, email/SMS communication, pitch booking, and financial management with automatic membership collection. KampKlar offers team-level tools for coaches to manage communication, training activities, electronic team cards, and lineups via web and the Fodbold mobile app. KlubWeb consists of three components: KlubWeb CMS (full club website), KlubWeb Widgets (embeddable match data for existing sites), and KlubWeb API (technical access to DBU data for integrations). The Fodbold app delivers mobile access to match programs, standings, results, referee tools, exercise databases, and GPS-based nearby match search. An optional paid integration with e-conomic accounting software extends KlubOffice's financial capabilities.

Revenue derives from annual IT contributions paid by member clubs (which include KlubOffice access), Klub-CMS website subscriptions at 5,760 DKK incl. VAT per year, modest course fees (1,500 DKK online / 2,200 DKK physical for most IT club package courses), and local sponsorships from Bornholm-based brands including Netto, Born Brand, Beof, Axel Sørensen, and Knudsker Køl. Marketing and distribution rely on the organization's website, Facebook and Instagram channels, email newsletters, and active participation in Bornholm community events such as Folkemødet. The organization also benefits from being embedded in the national DBU brand and the DBU Bredde communications infrastructure serving 1,500 clubs, 374,000 active players, and 120,000 volunteers across Denmark.
