Slagelse FH

Slagelse Dream Team was a handball team from the town of Slagelse, Denmark. It is sometimes referred to as "Slagelse Dream Team" or just "Slagelse DT", and is the professional first team for the handball club Slagelse Forenede Håndboldklubber (Slagelse FH). The club was catapulted into the limelight in 2000 when Anja Andersen took the head coach job^[1] and in a very short time led the women's team to the first Danish victory in the Women's EHF Champions League final in 2004.

History

Slagelse Forenede Håndboldklubber was created by a merger of the two clubs Slagelse HK and Marievang IF who each had their own success, especially on youth level. Slagelse HK's women's team was promoted twice to the premier division around 1990, though the team was relegated the following season on both occasions.

In 1997 the two clubs merged under the name Slagelse FH and in early 2000 the club signed a deal with Anja Andersen to help the club achieve promotion to the premier division in 2001.^[1]

In 2002 they won their first title the Danish Women's Handball Cup.^[2] This was followed by a league title in 2003 and the Women's EHF Champions League title in 2004.^[1]

Anja Andersen ceased to be the head coach after the 2007-08 season, which meant that a large group of players also which the team, and the amount of spectators and sponsorship income started to decline.

In the 2008-09 season the team came close to bankruptcy, and was relegated to the Danish 1st Division.^[3][4] The team was promoted again in 2010-2011.

In 2013 the club declared bankruptcy and was forced to be relegated to the Danish 2nd Division.^[5]
