History

OB Women

The team was originally created as the women's football section of Odense Boldklub. They were promoted into the top division for the first time in 1989. After losing the 1995 Danish Women's Cup final to Fortuna Hjørring, the team gained revenge in 1998 by beating Fortuna in the final and securing their first Cup win. Odense also won the Cup in 1999 and 2003, and the league title in 2000 and 2001. [1]

Odense Q

Due to a lack of support from Odense Boldklub, the team decided to break away and form an independent women's football club under the name Odense Q from the 2016–17 Elitedivisionen season onwards. A new logo was created, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling . [2]

OB Q

In June 2023 the club, alongside Odense Boldklub, announced the 90% purchase of Odense Q by Odense Sport & Event, joining the women's and men's team once again. The club was renamed Odense Boldklub Q. [3] The purchase came a little over six months following the November 2022 announcement by UEFA that the license to participate in any of the three European competitions would only be afforded to men's clubs that had a women's branch setup from the 2024–2025 season. [4]

In July 2025 the club announced that the international player contingent would depart the club, citing an approach to building the squad under the moniker, "IdentitetOB". [5] [6] [7]

  1. In 2016, the team broke away from Odense Boldklub (OB) citing a lack of support and investment, to form its own club, Odense Q, from the 2016-17 season until 2023, when they were bought back and reunited with their former club, to form the current iteration, OB Q.
