The team reached the main rounds of the Danish Cup in the 2017–18 and 2019–20 seasons.^[1] Both seasons resulted in first-round knockouts, to RKG Klarup and FC Fredericia, respectively.^[2][3][4] In 2019–20, where Hatting/Torsted competed in the fifth-tier Jutland Series, the team had qualified to the main rounds of the cup tournament after a surprising win over fourth-tier Denmark Series team Silkeborg KFUM, who had former Danish Superliga top scorer Thomas Dalgaard in their starting lineup.^[5]

On 22 June 2019, Hatting/Torsted suffered relegation to the sixth-tier Series 1, despite beating Aabyhøj IF on the final matchday of the season.^[6] The following year, the club would suffer successive relegations, finding themselves in the seventh tier of Danish football in 2020.^[7]

Notable players

Hatting/Torsted has mainly focused on youth development, and is a feeder club to nearby professional club AC Horsens.^[8] The club has thus developed players such as Jeppe Kjær and Troels Kløve, who both broke through to professional football on the Horsens team.^[9][10][11]
