Football Club Copenhagen is, in many ways, both an old and a new club. Even though the club was established in 1992, it is rooted in more than 100 years of club tradition. The club's first team represents two separate clubs: [[Kjøbenhavns Boldklub]] (continental Europe's oldest football club) founded in 1876 and [[Boldklubben 1903]] founded in 1903. The two Copenhagen clubs merged their first teams to found Copenhagen on 1 July 1992. Copenhagen used Boldklubben's club license to play in the [[Danish Superliga]] championship, while [[Kjøbenhavns Boldklub]] became the official reserve team of the club. With the rebuilding of the [[Parken Stadium]], Denmark's national team stadium, the new club had a modern stadium to play at from the beginning. The initial ambition of the club was to continually qualify for one of the European competitions each season. To reach this goal, the club needed a solid economy, a relatively big fan base, and an "attractive and positive style of football".<ref name="fck">{{cite web |url=http://fck.dk/english/history/ |title=History |year=2006 |publisher=F.C.
