1992-1994: A Good Start
In the first two seasons of the club, they got good results in the Superliga. In the 1992-93 season, they won the Danish championship only one point ahead of Odense BK in second place, and two points ahead of third placed Brøndby IF. FCK also competed in the UEFA Intertoto Cup and they won their group after 4 wins, 1 draw and a single defeat. With the Intertoto Cup win, FCK qualified for the UEFA Cup, where they were eliminated in 2nd round by AJ Auxerre. In the Cup, FCK was knocked out in the semi finals by OB with 1-4 agg., after in the 5th round eliminating defending league champions Brøndby and Hvidovre in the quarter finals.
In the 1993-94 season the expectations were high for FCK, but they could not stand up to the pressure, and went on winter break with a second place, after a quite good season start, who was overshadowed by a 6-0 collapse to A.C. Milan in the Champions League qualification. The cup result had in the autumn also been disappointing after a 3-0 B 1909 defeat. In the spring, Silkeborg IF looked to win the league, but after a hard fight from F.C. Copenhagen, it was very exiting when the two teams met in the second last round, at Parken. In front of a record high attendance (26,679) FCK won the match 4-1, but lost the championship after a 3-2 defeat in the last round.
