(Redirected from BK Frem)
'Boldklubben Frem' (also known as 'Frem', 'BK Frem' or 'BK Frem Copenhagen') are a Danish sports club based in the district of Valby, in Copenhagen. It is best known for its semi-professional football team. Since its foundation in 1886 Frem has won the Danish Championships six times and the Danish Cup twice. Until the disastrous bankruptcy in 1993 Frem had played in the top division in all but six seasons.
The club also has a youth and amateur amateur football branch, as well as a cricket team. It is also involved in the running of the KIES sports boarding school.
BK Frem were founded as 'Fremskridtsklubbens Cricketklub' on July 17 1886 by a group of seditious young men from the then government hostile Venstre Reform Party, as a cloak for political activities.[1] In 1887 football was introduced and the name was changed to ''Boldklubben Frem, stiftet af Fremskridtsklubben'' (lit. Danish:The Ball Club Frem, founded by the Progress Club).
In the first two years of the life of the club only two sports matches were played, but when the Danish Football Association introduced a football tournament in 1889, the club were invited to participate, and in 1890 Frem became the first Danish club to beat KB in a football match. In 1902 Frem became unofficial Danish champions when they won the league played under the auspices of the Danish FA. This was the first ever senior title won by the club.
In 1905 the club moved to its own field at Enghavevej, Vesterbro, obtaining its distinct working class profile. To this day, both the Social Democrats and the Union of Metalworkers holds Frem sponsorships. In 1912 Frem joined the representative team Stævnet which arranged lucrative exhibition matches and played a decisive role in Danish football politics.
In the years 1923-1944 Frem won six Danish Championships.
Since 1983 Frem has been battling economically, peaking in 1993 when they saw themselves demoted to the Danmarksserien following a bankruptcy, which was due to a debt of dkk 8.5 mill. and allegations of fraud.[2]
Following a short but expensive spell in the Superliga in 2003-2004 Frem were once again on the verge of bankruptcy with a debt of dkk 10 mill.[3]
Frem play their home matches at the modest and somewhat down worn, municipality-owned Valby Idrætspark.
In the early years Frem were located on Østerbro in Copenhagen, playing its matches at Blegdamsfælleden, alongside its main rivals in the early years; AB and KB. In 1905 Frem moved to its own field at Enghavevej, Vesterbro. Being a field-owning club gave Frem the advantage off entry fees. Its location however lead to some muttering from football fans who found it to be to far out of town.[4]
In 1942 Frem moved to Valby Idrætspark, where the current main stand was erected in 1965. Throughout the years a lot of matches has been played at Idrætsparken. It is uncertain when this tradition was discontinued.
The construction of a new stadium is currently in the planning.

History
Early years
Frem's squad of the 1901-1902 Copenhagen Championship-winning season. The player at the very centre is Axel Byrval.
BK Frem were founded as 'Fremskridtsklubbens Cricketklub' on July 17 1886 by a group of seditious young men from the then government hostile Venstre Reform Party, as a cloak for political activities.[1] In 1887 football was introduced and the name was changed to ''Boldklubben Frem, stiftet af Fremskridtsklubben'' (lit.

In 1902 Frem became unofficial Danish champions when they won the league played under the auspices of the Danish FA. This was the first ever senior title won by the club.
In 1905 the club moved to its own field at Enghavevej, Vesterbro, obtaining its distinct working class profile. To this day, both the Social Democrats and the Union of Metalworkers holds Frem sponsorships. In 1912 Frem joined the representative team Stævnet which arranged lucrative exhibition matches and played a decisive role in Danish football politics.
Palmy days
In the years 1923-1944 Frem won six Danish Championships.
Division Yo-Yoing
Since 1983 Frem has been battling economically, peaking in 1993 when they saw themselves demoted to the Danmarksserien following a bankruptcy, which was due to a debt of dkk 8.5 mill. and allegations of fraud.[2]
Following a short but expensive spell in the Superliga in 2003-2004 Frem were once again on the verge of bankruptcy with a debt of dkk 10 mill.[3]
Home ground
The clubhouse at Enghavevej, Vesterbro used 1905-1942.
Frem play their home matches at the modest and somewhat down worn, municipality-owned Valby Idrætspark.
In the early years Frem were located on Østerbro in Copenhagen, playing its matches at Blegdamsfælleden, alongside its main rivals in the early years; AB and KB.
