SK Aarhus was a Danish women's handball club based in Aarhus. They played in Damehåndboldligaen when the team closed after the 2016-17 season because of financial issues. Aarhus United took over their licence for the league. SK Aarhus has previously also included basketball and volleyball.

History

[edit]

SK Aarhus had consistently been at the bottom of Damehåndboldligaen and were relegated to 1. division after the 2004-05 season. They were, however, promoted again after just one season. Later, the club strengthened their roster with the likes of Karin Mortensen and Trine Troelsen and this resulted in a playoff place and fourth place after three matches against FCK Håndbold in the 2008-09 season.

On 30 November 2009, it was revealed that SK Aarhus had gone into receivership and that they had a deadline of 15 January 2010 to find a solution[1] This got a few of the club's investors to stop in the club at the turn of 2009-10. Although they managed to raise money to keep the club going, they failed to get over the economic problems and after the 2010-11 season, many of their big profiles such as Susann Müller, Marta Tomac and Gitte Brøgger Led left the club. The team started the following season on an even smaller budget, but in November 2011, the management decided to take steps against dissolving the club when the then investors didn't want to increase the support.[2] Subsequently a group of investors secured the club's future which resulted in the continuation of the club[3]

In the 2011-12 season, SK Aarhus was relegated after an 8th place in the league and a 3rd place in the qualifying group. In the 2013-14 season, SK Aarhus returned to the league after gaining a 2nd place in the league and winning 2–0 against Nykøbing Falster Håndboldklub. In 2017 it was announced that SK Aarhus would close after the 2016-17 season and that the newly formed Aarhus United would take over their league licence.
