History

GOG

The club was founded on 1 May 1973 as a result of a merger between Gudbjerg, Oure, and Gudme. GOG's men's team got promoted to the best league in Denmark in 1987 and won its first Danish Handball Championship in 1992.

The women's team got promoted to the top division for the first time in 1985. During the 1990's GOG was a dominant force in Danish handball, including winning four championships in a row.

GOG Svendborg TGI

In 2005, GOG and Svendborg TGI merged their first teams. The club won the Danish championship for men in 2006/2007. In 2009 the women's team was separated from GOG and became HC Odense. On 26 January 2010, GOG Svendborg TGI was declared bankrupt and relegated to the 2nd Division. ^[1]

GOG 2010

In March 2010, the club was reformed as GOG 2010 A/S, with Kasper Jørgensen as new CEO and Hemming Van as chairman of the board. ^[2] The ambition was to have the club back in the top division within three years. The first season after the forced relegation, the 2010–11 season, the club was promoted to Danish 1st Division. In the 2012/2013 season, GOG managed to win the 1st division and was promoted back to the men's Danish Men's Handball League.

In the 2021-2022 season GOG won the Danish league once again. ^[3]
