'''Odense Boldklub Q''' (commonly referred to as '''OB Q''') is a Danish women's football team based in Odense, Denmark. OB Q compete in A-Liga, the Danish top-flight division and play their matches at the Nature Energy Park stadium.
==History== ===OB Women=== The team was founded in 1971 as the women's football section of Odense Boldklub. The team played in non-league and in 1982 they were promoted to the Women's Series, the fourth tier (then the third tier) of the Danish women's football system. In 1989, the team secured promotion into the league for the first time as they entered the 1st Division in 1990. OB were promoted into the top division, The Elite Division (as it was known then) for the first time in 1993. After losing the 1995 Danish Women's Cup final to Fortuna Hjørring, the team gained revenge in 1998 by beating Fortuna in the final and securing their first Cup win. Odense also won the Cup in 1999 and 2003, and the league title in 2000 and 2001.<ref>{{cite web|title=OB's historie i årstal|url=http://www.ob.dk/info/historie_12378/obs-historie-i-aarstal.aspx|publisher=Odense Boldklub|access-date=18 October 2016|language=da|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170117192725/http://www.ob.dk/info/historie_12378/obs-historie-i-aarstal.aspx|archive-date=17 January 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
===Odense Q=== Due to a lack of support from Odense Boldklub, the team decided to break away and form an independent women's football club under the name Odense Q from the 2016–17 Elitedivisionen season onwards.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-08-25 |title=Første hjemmebanekamp set fra bænken {{!}} fyens.dk |url=https://fyens.dk/odense/foerste-hjemmebanekamp-set-fra-baenken |access-date=2025-10-06 |website=fyens.dk |language=da}}</ref> A new logo was created, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's ''The Ugly Duckling''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Ny kvindeklub på plads i Odense|url=http://kvindeliga.dk/ny-kvindeklub-paa-plads-i-odense/|access-date=18 October 2016|publisher=Kvindeliga.dk|date=9 March 2016|language=da|archive-url=https://archive.today/20161102144342/http://kvindeliga.dk/ny-kvindeklub-paa-plads-i-odense/|archive-date=2 November 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> The team played in a Bordeaux red jersey.
===OB Q=== In June 2023 the club, alongside Odense Boldklub, announced the 90% purchase of Odense Q by Odense Sport & Event, joining the women's and men's team once again.
