Hillerød

Hillerød Fodbold is a Danish association football club, located in the district of Ullerød in the western part of Hillerød, that is an independent men's football department of the sports club, Hillerød Gymnastik- og Idrætsforening (HGI). The club is playing their home games at Hillerød Stadium (previously known as Selskov Stadium) at either the exhibition ground (known as bane 1), that can hold 5,000 standing spectators or at a fenced football field (known as bane 2), that can hold approx. 1,500 spectators and features 240 seats. After having been founded as a multi-sports club under the name Ullerød Gymnastikforening (abbreviated UGF) in 1937, the club changed their name to Hillerød G&IF in 1968. With the introduction of a women's football department in 1970, the men's football department was then referred to as Hillerød GI Herrefodbold until 2009, when the senior men's team was renamed Hillerød Fodbold.

A slow ascent from the lower regional league levels started in the 1970s, reaching the highest regional division, Zealand Series, in 1977, and the highest amateur league, Denmark Series, in 1992. After a series of promotions and relegations between the fourth, fifth and sixth levels from the late 1970s up until the late 2000s, the team was sent back to the third best regional league in the 2011/12-season, before they one season later secured four promotions over the course of six seasons to reach the national professional leagues in 2017. As of the 2018/19-season, the club's first men's team play in Danish 2nd Division after winning promotion to the third level from the Denmark Series in the 2016/17-season for the first time in the club's history. At the 1990/91-edition of the Danish Cup, the Hillerød-based team reached the fourth round (round of 16), where they were ultimately defeated at Brøndby Stadium by Brøndby IF.
