SønderjyskE Damehåndbold

SønderjyskE Damehåndbold is a women's handball club based in Aabenraa in South Jutland, Denmark.

The club was founded in 2004 and has been part of the top tier league, Damehåndboldligaen two times.

[1] SønderjyskE was created as a club for the whole region of South Jutland as it was obvious that it was impossible to create elite teams able to compete in the top leagues on the former basis of city teams.

In 2004 all the elite teams in football, ice hockey and handball merged into SønderjyskE, enabling the clubs to represent not only a city but the whole region of South Jutland (Sønderjylland), which drew more attention to the teams from sponsors, fans and media and made it easier to keep talents in South Jutland.

[2] In 2006 TM Tønder Håndbold withdrew from the project, when the team moved their home matches to Sønderborg, because they believed the team had come too far from their roots in Tønder.
