Ikast HÃÂ¥ndbold is a Danish professional women's handball club based in Ikast. They have competed in DamehÃÂ¥ndboldligaen, Denmark's primary handball league, since 1991.
History
The club was founded as Ikast FS HÃÂ¥ndboldafdeling on 20 June 1970 as a merger of the handball departments of Ikast DUI and Ikast Skytte Gymnastik Forening. Their breakthrough came in 1991 when they won the Danish Cup and reached the top division, Dame HÃÂ¥ndbold Ligaen. They saw success again in 1998 as they won their first and only Danish Championship gold.
In 1997 the elite team was placed in the company Ikast FS ElitehÃÂ¥ndbold ApS, and they became the first Danish handball team selling stocks. In 1999 they established coorporation with Bording KFUM, and changed name to Ikast-Bording EH.
At the beginning of November 2008, it was announced that the professional division of Ikast-Brande EH had been taken over by football club FC Midtjylland. As a result, the team changed their name to FC Midtjylland HÃÂ¥ndbold and switched colors from blue and yellow to red and black. In November 2017, it was announced that FC Midtjylland had sold off the handball team to a group of investors. From the 2018âÂÂ19 season, they were renamed Herning Ikast HÃÂ¥ndbold. In 2023 the name was changed to Ikast HÃÂ¥ndbold to signify the connection to the founding clubs in Ikast.
