Clubs and associations

A great way to socialize

Denmark is sometimes referred to as a nation of associations, because we have so many clubs and associations, and almost no matter what kind of hobby you have, you can find a Danish association that is suitable.

Becoming a member of an association or club is a great way to make friends and establish a local network. Associations and clubs are run by volunteers, and it is not usually expensive to become a member.

Almost all Danes are members of some kind of association or club. The majority of clubs are sports clubs. Soccer is the most popular with the most members and additionally handball, gymnastics and swimming are growing sports genres in Denmark.

Did you know that handball is a Danish invention and therefore also a Danish passion?
It was invented in Denmark in 1898, and today we have both a men’s and women’s national team. This is also a very popular sport for young people.
