Halmstads BK is a Swedish football club located in Halmstad. The club, formed 6 March 1914, is playing in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan, and has won 4 national championship titles and 1 national cup title. They are known to be successful even though they have only limited resources, being located in a relatively small town. Their coach, Janne Andersson, has been in the club's organization for many seasons and has been head coach since 2004.
The club gained some European recognition in 1995, when they defeated the successful Italian club Parma A.C. with 3-0 on Gamla Ullevi in the first of two matches in their encounter in the Cup Winners' Cup. However, their second encounter, in Parma, ended with a crushing 0-4 defeat, sending out the Swedes.
In 2005 they succesfully qualified to the UEFA cup by beating last year runners up Sporting Clube de Portugal on away goals, totaly 4-4.
