Halmstads BK

Halmstads Bollklubb, also called HBK or just Halmstad, is a Swedish football club located in Halmstad in the southwest of Sweden. The club, formed 6 March 1914, competes in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan, and has won 4 national championship titles and 1 national cup title.

The club gained some European recognition in 1995, when they defeated the successful Italian club Parma A.C. 3-0 at Gamla Ullevi (in Göteborg) in the first of two matches in the Cup Winners' Cup. However, their second encounter, in Parma, ended with a crushing 0-4 defeat, eliminating them from the tournament.

Since the club's return to Allsvenskan in 1993 they have brought forward several known players such as Niclas Alexandersson, Petter Hansson, Fredrik Ljungberg and Dusan Djurić.
