Ajax København is a handball club based in southwestern Copenhagen, Denmark, consisting of both a women's and a men's team.
The men’s team went bankrupt in 2022, and were therefore relegated to the 3rd Division, the fourth tier of Danish handball.
The handball team started playing competitive matches in January 1935.
[5] The women's team started in the third tier, and over a period of nine years they worked their way up to the top flight, Damehåndboldligaen, where they played in 1997-98 and 1998-99.
[8] A year later the case was dropped, as Dalsø had not put forward sufficient proof of his accusations.
Their coach at the time, Dennis Bo Jensen, won the 'coach of the year' award for the 2020-2021 season.
[12] In September 2022 it became publicly known, that the players on Ajax' men's team had not been paid their due wages for the previous month.
Leading up to the game the team only had 6 first team players left, and minutes before the game started, 2 of Ajax' players decided to refuse to play in protest of the board's management.
[16][17] On October 11th the club was declared bankrupt in the Maritime and Commercial Court in Copenhagen.
The men's team were relegated to the 3rd division, the fourth tier of Danish handball.
