'''Slagelse Dream Team''' was a [[team handball|handball]] team from the town of [[Slagelse]], [[Denmark]]. It is sometimes referred to as "Slagelse Dream Team" or just "Slagelse DT", and is the professional first team for the handball club Slagelse Forenede Håndboldklubber (Slagelse FH). The club was catapulted into the limelight in 2000 when [[Anja Andersen]] took the head coach job<ref name=BT>{{Cite web |last=Kokborg |first=Johnny Wojciech |date=12 December 2021 |title=Historien om Slagelse Dream Team: 'Hun tog den hårde vej' |url=https://www.bt.dk/content/item/1558871 |access-date=2024-03-08 |website=www.bt.dk |language=da}}</ref> and in a very short time led the women's team to the first Danish victory in the [[Women's EHF Champions League]] final in 2004.
== History ==
Slagelse Forenede Håndboldklubber was created by a merger of the two clubs Slagelse HK and Marievang IF who each had their own success, especially on youth level. Slagelse HK's women's team was promoted twice to the premier division around 1990, though the team was relegated the following season on both occasions.
In 1997 the two clubs merged under the name Slagelse FH and in early 2000 the club signed a deal with [[Anja Andersen]] to help the club achieve promotion to the [[Damehåndboldligaen|premier division]] in 2001.<ref name=BT />
In 2002 they won their first title the [[Danish Women's Handball Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dhf.dk/elite/liga-1-division/santander-cup/pokalvindere/|title=Pokalvindere|publisher=[[Danish Handball Federation|DHF]]|accessdate=27 October 2017|language=Danish}}</ref> This was followed by a league title in 2003 and the [[Women's EHF Champions League]] title in 2004.<ref name=BT /> This was only the second time a Danish team won the biggest European trophy, after [[HG København]] in [[1964–65 Women's European Cup (handball)|1965]].
Anja Andersen ceased to be the head coach after the 2007-08 season, which meant that a large group of players also which the team, and the amount of spectators and sponsorship income started to decline.
In the 2008-09 season the team came close to bankruptcy, and was relegated to the [[Danish 1st Division (handball)|Danish 1st Division]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://sport.tv2.dk/haandbold/2009-04-07-slagelse-fh-reddet-fra-konkurs|publisher=[[TV2 Danmark]]|website=Sport.tv2.dk|title=Slagelse FH reddet fra konkurs|date=7 April 2009|access-date=8 May 2025|language=da}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.berlingske.dk/aktier/slagelse-fh-begaeret-konkurs|publisher=[[Berlingske Tidende]]|title=Slagelse FH begæret konkurs|date=2 February 2009|access-date=8 May 2025|language=da}}</ref> The team was promoted again in 2010-2011.
