VSK Aarhus

VSK Aarhus was formed through a merger of Vejlby IK Fodbold (VIK) and the men's football department of IK Skovbakken on 1 July 2016. Both clubs shared their home grounds at Vejlby Stadium and had each their own clubhouse part of Vejlby-Risskov Idrætscenter.{{cite web |title=Klubbens historie |url=http://www.vskaarhus.dk/vsk-aarhus/om-vsk-aarhus/klubbens-historie/ |website=vskaarhus.dk |publisher=VSK Aarhus |access-date=16 April 2020}}

Vejlby IK was founded in 1949 as a football club in the Aarhus suburb of Vejlby, while Skovbakken was established in the neighbourhood of Trøjborg in 1927. Skovbakken was named after section 1 of the Arbejdernes Andels Boligforening (AAB), a housing area by Marienlund. AAB, founded in 1919, is the oldest organisation for subsidised housing in Aarhus, and the club therefore has strong working class roots. Skovbakken's first ground was at Ferdinands Plads in Riis Skov. In 1939, the club moved to Riisvangen, where facilities were largely built through volunteering. In 1969, the club moved to the newly established Vejlby-Risskov Idrætscenter on the initiative of a number of visionary leaders in IK Skovbakken, and had their home ground at the stadium facility, Vejlby Stadium. Here, the football department of Skovbakken would soon find success, and they spent the 1978 season and 1979 season at the highest level.{{cite web |author1=OH |title=Målet alle husker |url=https://www.agf.dk/klubben/nyhedsarkiv/2017/august/maalet-alle-husker/ |website=agf.dk |publisher=Aarhus Gymnastikforening |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=29 August 2017}}{{cite web |last1=Bagge |first1=Henrik |title=Stadig liv på Vejlby Stadion |url=https://stiften.dk/artikel/stadig-liv-p%C3%A5-vejlby-stadion |website=stiften.dk |publisher=Århus Stiftstidende |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=26 October 2013}} Symbolically, the subsequent decline of Skovbakken occurred with the advent of professionalism in Danish football, which was introduced on 25 February 1978 by the Danish Football Union.{{cite web |title=Fokus: 30 år med betalt fodbold |url=https://www.tipsbladet.dk/artikel/feature/fokus-30-aar-med-betalt-fodbold |website=tipsbladet.dk |publisher=Tipsbladet |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=2008}}{{cite web |title=En verden uden for SAS Ligaen: Skovbakken |url=https://www.tipsbladet.dk/nyhed/generelle/en-verden-uden-sas-ligaen-skovbakken |website=tipsbladet.dk |publisher=Tipsbladet |access-date=16 April 2020}}

Skovbakken and Vejlby IK shared the ground at Vejlby Stadium and throughout the following decades, the two clubs formed a rivalry, but also had multiple attempts of merging. The first initiative was taken by chairman of Vejlby IK Gymnastik, Erik Brandtoft in the 1987,{{cite web |last1=Rafn |first1=Jeppe |title=Tre nye æresmedlemmer i VIK |url=https://aarhus.lokalavisen.dk/nyheder/2009-10-17/-Tre-nye-%C3%A6resmedlemmer-i-VIK-2833899.html |website=aarhus.lokalavisen.dk |publisher=Lokalavisen |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=17 October 2009}} but these plans did initially not come to fruition.{{cite web |last1=Kristensen |first1=Mick |title=FC Vejlby skal være den nye fodboldstormagt i Aarhus N |url=https://jyllands-posten.dk/aarhus/sport/ECE8467442/fc-vejlby-skal-vaere-den-nye-fodboldstormagt-i-aarhus-n/ |website=jyllands-posten.dk |publisher=Jyllands-Posten |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=25 February 2016}} A new initiative surfaced in the 1990s, when Ove Poulsen who was associated with both clubs, took control of negotiations for a merger. However, the proposal failed to gain approval at the general assembly of Vejlby IK.

In 1999, IK Skovbakken entered into an agreement to merge with Aarhus Fremad, whose first team competed in the Danish Superliga, the highest level of Danish football. This superstructure, named FC Aarhus, was formed with the goal of becoming one of the top clubs of Denmark. However, the merger only survived for six months, as the new club had already built up a deficit of DKK 2.5 million.{{cite web |author1=Ritzau |author-link=Ritzau |title=FC Århus mangler to millioner |url=https://www.berlingske.dk/sport/fc-aarhus-mangler-millioner |website=berlingske.dk |publisher=Berlingske Tidende |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=14 December 1999}} Skovbakken dropped out of the merger while the Aarhus Fremad board decided to continue their professional department under the name of FC Aarhus for the next four years with the continued ambition of reaching the Superliga, after suffering relegation from the highest level in 1999.{{cite web |last1=Balle |first1=Ricky |last2=Rehn |first2=Niklas |last3=Wittendorf |first3=Nicolaj |last4=Anthonsen |first4=Kenneth |title=Aarhus Fremad - Historien |url=https://www.aarhus-fremad.dk/omaarhusfremad/historie/ |website=aarhus-fremad.dk |publisher=Aarhus Fremad |access-date=6 March 2020}} After Skovbakken withdrew from the merger, the first team was placed in the lower divisions of Danish football, and only stopped the decline at Series 1, the sixth highest level.

In 2008, the Danish Football Union introduced a licensing system in the youth departments of Danish clubs. Initially developed by the UEFA in 2004,{{cite web |title=Club Licensing - 10 Years On... |url=https://de.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/uefaorg/FinancialFairPlay/02/32/60/65/2326065_DOWNLOAD.pdf |website=UEFA |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=2015}} club licensing sets a standard of good practice both on the field and in administration.{{cite web |title=Klublicens - Ungdom, drenge |url=https://www.dbu.dk/turneringer-og-resultater/klublicens/ungdom-drenge/ |website=dbu.dk |publisher=Danish Football Union |access-date=16 April 2020}} Skovbakken did not receive a license for its youth teams, which meant that its best youth talents left the club for other clubs in the region. As a consequence of this, the under-16 team, who had just promoted to the highest division for that age group after reaching first place in the second highest division, was suddenly disbanded. The club had the reshuffle its youth teams in the following years, and sought to implement a new structure for the youth department. However, there were not enough youth players available to form a competitive academy due to an exodus of youth players. This was not only the case for Skovbakken, but also for local rivals Vejlby IK Fodbold and Aarhus Fremad, where youth players frequently began moving between the three clubs' youth departments. Therefore, in the summer of 2010, Skovbakken, Vejlby IK and Aarhus Fremad entered into a cooperation agreement to provide both superstructure teams and joint teams at U13, U14, U15 and U16-levels under the name of the former superstructure, FC Aarhus.{{cite web |last1=Rafn |first1=Jeppe |title=FC Aarhus er genopstået på ungdomssiden |url=https://aarhus.lokalavisen.dk/sport/2010-10-04/-FC-Aarhus-er-genopst%C3%A5et-p%C3%A5-ungdomssiden-2696048.html |website=aarhus.lokalavisen.dk |publisher=Lokalavisen |access-date=17 April 2020 |date=4 October 2010}}

At an internal evaluation seminar between the three clubs in January 2015, it was agreed that youth football in the area would thrive the best in the case of a merger in footballing departments. The three clubs' boards set up a collaboration committee for the merger in March 2015. Martin Østergaard, Ane Mathilde Pedersen and John Duus Andresen (Vejlby IK), Jesper Simonsen and Poul Mortensen (Skovbakken women's football) and Thomas Pallesen and Leif Gjørtz Christensen (Skovbakken men's football) all participated in the merger working group. The amateur department of Aarhus Fremad would initially participate in the meetings, but withdrew from the project on 30 May 2015 as they became part of Aarhus Fremad Fodbold ApS, who ran their first team and reserve teams.

The merger was agreed upon after two successive general assemblies in Vejlby IK and Skovbakken, respectively, in February 2016. Subsequently, the new club was formed at the next founding general assembly, with the official date of inception being 1 July 2016. The first chairman was Leif Gjørtz Christensen from Skovbakken. Initially, it was decided by large majority of votes from both clubs that the new football superstructure should be named FC Vejlby,{{cite web |last1=Hove |first1=Frank |title=Ny fusionsklub i Aarhus: FC Vejlby |url=https://www.tv2ostjylland.dk/aarhus/ny-fusionsklub-i-aarhus-fc-vejlby |website=tv2ostjylland.dk |publisher=TV 2/Østjylland |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=24 February 2016}} but after some months later an extraordinary general meeting was requested by a large number of members, who, in June 2016, decided to change the name to Vejlby Skovbakken Aarhus – or VSK Aarhus.{{cite web |last1=Margren |first1=Sara |title=Skovbakken bliver til VSK Aarhus |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/skovbakken-bliver-til-vsk-aarhus/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=26 June 2016}}

Building upon the license of IK Skovbakken, VSK Aarhus would in their debut season compete in the 2016–17 Danish 2nd Divisions (third highest division). They were placed in Group 3, which counted eight teams from Jutland, of which three, including VSK, were from the greater Aarhus area.{{cite web |title=2. division, Pulje 3 (2017) // |url=https://www.dbu.dk/resultater/pulje/237099/stilling |website=dbu.dk |publisher=Danish Football Union |access-date=19 April 2020}} Poul Lyse and Michele Demontis, who had worked as assistants under former head coaches Jakob Michelsen and Ole Brandenborg, had taken over as head coaching team in 2011, and would continue in this position for VSK in the new season.{{cite book |last1=Kjær |first1=Niels |last2=Thaysen Kjær |first2=Silas |title=1001 dags eventyr : IK Skovbakken Herrefodbolds første 1000 divisionskampe--og den næste... |date=2015 |publisher=Books on Demand |isbn=9788771707298 |pages=36}} Lyse and Demontis had formerly been awarded 2014 Coaches of the Year in the Danish 2nd Division, and had achieved good results for Skovbakken during their tenure in view of the club's non-professional status. During the summer of 2016, the first team had lost eight players to other clubs, and would rely heavily on promoted youth team players for the season.{{cite web |last1=Lykke |first1=Rasmus |title=VSK-Aarhus chef: Vi får et svært efterår |url=https://vimeo.com/177448092 |website=vimeo.com |publisher=LokalUpdate |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=4 August 2016}}{{cite web |title=Stor spillerudskiftning på 2. divisionsholdet |url=http://www.vskaarhus.dk/nyheder/herresenior/stor-spillerudskiftning-paa-2-divisionsholdet/ |website=vskaarhus.dk |publisher=VSK Aarhus |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=5 August 2016}} The first official game in competition for VSK was a Danish 2nd Division away match against Brabrand IF on 5 August 2016 at Brabrand Stadion in front of 248 spectatators; a match which ended in a 3–0 loss to VSK.{{cite web |last1=Boldt Bendtsen |first1=Tobias |title=Brabrand satte VSK Aarhus til vægs |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/brabrand-satte-vsk-aarhus-til-vaegs/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=5 August 2016}}{{cite web |last1=Buschmann |first1=Lars |title=Dagens Spilforslag: Brabrand tryner lokalfusionen VSK Århus |url=https://www.tipsbladet.dk/spil/dagens-spilforslag-brabrand-tryner-lokalfusionen-vsk-aarhus |website=tipsbladet.dk |publisher=Tipsbladet |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=5 August 2016}} Four days later, on 9 August, the club faced local rivals Aarhus Fremad in the Danish Cup away at Riisvangen Stadion, where VSK parent club IK Skovbakken had its home ground between 1939 and 1969. In front of 321 spectators, midfielder Oscar Scott Carl scored VSK's first goal in competition in the 61st minute to tie the game 1–1 after Mathias Valentin had scored the opening goal for Aarhus Fremad. The teams stayed level at 1–1 and the match went to a penalty shoot-out, which VSK won 5–4 to advance to the second round.{{cite web |title=Aarhus Fremad - VSK Aarhus, Sydbank Pokalen 2016/2016 |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/kamp/aarhus-fremad-vs-vsk-aarhus/13003120/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=16 April 2020}}{{cite web |title=Pokalbrag: VSK Aarhus - AaB |url=http://www.vskaarhus.dk/nyheder/herresenior/pokalbrag-vsk-aarhus-aab/ |website=vskaarhus.dk |publisher=VSK Aarhus |access-date=16 April 2020 |date=25 October 2016}} On the following matchday in the league, on 13 August at home at Vejlby Stadium against Jammerbugt FC, Anders Kjeldgaard scored the first league goal for VSK to secure a 1–1 draw.{{cite web |title=VSK Aarhus – Jammerbugt FC, 2.

The club managed to haul in 33 points in 22 matches during the spring, finishing in fifth place of the table, eight points clear of the relegation zone.{{cite web |title=2. division Forår 2017, Kvalifikationsspil (2017) // |url=https://www.dbu.dk/resultater/pulje/250445 |website=dbu.dk |publisher=Danish Football Union |access-date=19 April 2020}} In the cup, VSK had beat Kolding IF 4–3 at home on 30 August 2016 after knocking out Aarhus Fremad.{{cite web |title=VSK Aarhus – Kolding IF (30. august 2016) |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/kamp/vsk-aarhus-vs-kolding-if/13646664/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=19 April 2020 |date=30 August 2016}} In the third round, the club faced Danish Superliga club AaB home at Vejlby Stadium on 26 October.{{cite web |last1=Skovsgaard Tøfting |first1=Nicolai |title=VSK-stopper glæder sig til AaB-møde |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vsk-stopper-glaeder-sig-til-aab-moede/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=19 April 2020 |date=9 September 2016}} Despite a strong showing by the home team, the match ended in a 0–1 loss which ended VSK's first cup run.{{cite web |title=VSK Århus - AaB // |url=https://www.dbu.dk/resultater/kamp/588667_238484 |website=dbu.dk |publisher=Danish Football Union |access-date=19 April 2020 |date=26 October 2016}}

Prior to the 2017–18 season, head coaches Lyse and Demontis signed two-year contract extensions.{{cite web |last1=Møller Karlsen |first1=Nanna |title=VSK Aarhus forlænger med trænerduo |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vsk-aarhus-forlaenger-med-traenerduo/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=19 April 2020 |date=9 July 2017}} The latter stated that he saw a realistic chance of the team playing for promotion during its second season.{{cite web |last1=Blond |first1=Mikael |title=VSK Aarhus øjner oprykningsspillet |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vsk-aarhus-oejner-oprykningsspillet/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=19 April 2020 |date=11 July 2017}} The first team squad had almost been kept intact throughout the summer transfer window, and had been strengthened by the acquisition of forward Shawn Rathcke Memory who had been signed from lower-tier club FC Skanderborg.{{cite web |last1=Blond |first1=Mikael |title=Intakt trup glæder VSK Aarhus-træner |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/intakt-trup-glaeder-vsk-aarhus-traener/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=19 April 2020 |date=1 August 2017}} Once again placed in Group 3, their season kicked off on 5 August 2017 with a 1–1 away draw against FC Sydvest 05.{{cite web |title=2. division, Pulje 3 (2018) // Kampprogram |url=https://www.dbu.dk/resultater/pulje/259445/kampprogramFuld |website=dbu.dk |publisher=Danish Football Union |access-date=20 April 2020}} Results worsened during the fall season and as a result of the disappointing start to the season, Lyse and Demontis were sacked as head coaches on 8 November 2017.{{cite web |last1=Blond |first1=Mikael |title=VSK Aarhus fyrer og forfremmer Demontis |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vsk-aarhus-fyrer-og-forfremmer-demontis/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=20 April 2020 |date=8 November 2017}} Demontis would instead continue in the role as director of football as well as assistant coach for the first team. The head coaching change occurred after VSK had finished sixth in the table – seven points from the promotion group – and would therefore once again compete in the relegation group in the spring. In the cup, VSK had knocked out Linde Boldklub in the first round away at Langhøjskolen with a 12–0 win. In the second round, they faced local Danish Superliga team AGF on 29 August, a game that was televised, which VSK lost 1–4.{{cite web |title=VSK Århus - AGF // |url=https://www.dbu.dk/resultater/kamp/167496_259763 |website=dbu.dk |publisher=Danish Football Union |access-date=20 April 2020 |date=29 August 2017}} During the winter transfer window, the club lost several of their key players: team captain Henrik Brodersen left for Kolding IF,{{cite web |last1=Blond |first1=Mikael |title=Kolding kaprer VSK Aarhus-anfører |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/kolding-kaprer-vsk-aarhus-anfoerer/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=20 April 2020 |date=15 January 2018}} while forward Frederik Høgh and left back Jacob Torp moved to local rivals Aarhus Fremad.{{cite web |last1=Margren |first1=Sara |title=Aarhus Fremad på angriber-rov i VSK |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/aarhus-fremad-paa-angriber-rov-i-vsk/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=20 April 2020 |date=4 January 2018}}{{cite web |last1=Margren |first1=Sara |title=Aarhus Fremad snupper endnu en VSK-spiller |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/aarhus-fremad-snupper-endnu-en-vsk-spiller/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=20 April 2020 |date=13 January 2018}} Demontis later criticised Torp and Høgh for their move, calling it "incomprehensible", as Fremad played at the same level, also competing in the relegation group.{{cite web |last1=Blond |first1=Mikael |title=VSK Aarhus-chef: Forstår ikke Høgh og Torp |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vsk-aarhus-chef-forstaar-ikke-hoegh-og-torp/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=20 April 2020 |date=4 February 2018}} On 25 January 2018, the club signed Jesper Højlund as their new head coach, who had coached the Aarhus Fremad reserves until then.{{cite web |last1=Blond |first1=Mikael |title=VSK Aarhus henter ny cheftræner i Aarhus F. |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/vsk-aarhus-henter-ny-cheftraener-i-aarhus-f/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=20 April 2020 |date=25 January 2018}} A tumultuous spring season, which included big home losses to Næsby Boldklub (2–5) and B.93 (0–3) and only six wins to 12 losses in total, saw VSK Aarhus suffer relegation.{{cite web |title=2. division Forår 2018, Kvalifikationsspil (2018) // |url=https://www.dbu.dk/resultater/pulje/272194/stilling |website=dbu.dk |publisher=Danish Football Union |access-date=21 April 2020}} This was effectuated on 2 June 2018, when Brønshøj Boldklub beat Aarhus Fremad 3–2, which meant that VSK could no longer avoid relegation to the Denmark Series, the fourth tier of Danish football.{{cite web |last1=Dalsten |first1=Casper |title=Brønshøj-sejr sender VSK ned i DS |url=https://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/broenshoej-sejr-sender-vsk-ned-i-ds/ |website=bold.dk |publisher=bold.dk |access-date=21 April 2020 |date=2 June 2018}}

VSK Aarhus have only had one home ground, Vejlby Stadium, where they have played since the team's foundation in 2016. The stadium is part of a larger sports complex, Vejlby-Risskov Idrætscenter, which was inaugurated in 1969, and is situated in the district of Risskov in Aarhus. Besides the stadium itself, which can hold a total of 5,000 spectators of which 300 are seated, the complex features 10 grass pitches, an artificial turf pitch, a folk high school of sports (Idrætshøjskolen Århus), four indoor sports halls, including the sports and events arena of Vejlby-Risskov Hallen, a swimming hall and administrative offices.{{cite web |title=Anlæg |url=http://www.vskaarhus.dk/vsk-aarhus/om-vsk-aarhus/anlaeg/ |website=vskaarhus.dk |publisher=VSK Aarhus |access-date=16 April 2020}}{{cite web |title=Vejlby Stadion |url=http://www.stadions.dk/vejlby.asp |website=stadions.dk |publisher=Danmarks Stadions |access-date=16 April 2020}}
