Hvidovre Attack: ”Something the players look forward to all year”
Hvidovre Attack FC from Denmark can’t wait to be back for Gothia Cup Innebandy 2025.
Hvidovre Attack FC made their debut in Gothia Cup Innebandy back in 2016. In January, the Danish club will participate in the anniversary tournament with at least three teams.
– We’re honored to be a part of the 30th Gothia Cup Innebandy, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the anniversary with players from all over the world, says the coach Jens Færgemann.
Hvidovre Attack FC was founded in 1996 and is the third largest club in Denmark.
– We are close to 300 players, ranging from 6 to 76 years old. We have teams in almost all of the Danish leagues. We have men’s and women’s teams in the highest ranked senior leagues, teams in most of all the youth leagues and teams in various senior leagues. We also have a couple of teams for pensioners and a team of players with mental disabilities, says Jens Færgemann.
In 2025, Hvidovre Attack FC will participate in Gothia Cup Innebandy with teams in the categories B15, B16 and B18 – and maybe also in the B13 category.
– We’ve been part of the tournament since 2016 with various teams, and in 2020 we also participated with a girls’ team for the first time. Although we lose more games than we win, Gothia Cup Innebandy is really something the players look forward to all year. We’re of course at the tournament to play floorball, but we are also there to have a good time, he says.
Hvidovre is located just outside Copenhagen. It takes them between three and four hours to travel to Gothenburg.
– As the tournament takes place in a foreign country, this makes Gothia Cup Innebandy a bit more exotic for us than the domestic tournaments that we participate in. More exotic and a lot bigger, says Jens Færgemann.
They will arrive on Wednesday evening and leave on Sunday afternoon.
– That leaves the players plenty of time to just hang out and have a fantastic time with their own teammates and with the other players from our club and bond with the coaches.
When they’re in Gothenburg, they always try to attend a hockey game with Frölunda.
– It has become a tradition when we go to Gothia Cup Innebandy, says the coach.
