History
[edit | edit source]HC Midtjylland where founded in 2005 based on the local teams Hauge G/F and Herning FH.[1] In the 2008/2009 season they finished 2nd Danish 1st Division and thus reaching the promotion playoff for the first time. They did however lose to top flight team TMS Ringsted. Promotion came in the 2009/2010 season after finishing 3rd and going up through the playoffs.
Only the season after they were however relegated again. In the 2013/2014 season they gained promotion by winning the 1st Division. In 2015 they won the Danish Handball Cup despite struggling against relegation.[2]
In 2018 they went bankrupt because of financial problems.[3] The club resurrected, shortly after it went bankrupt, but was forced into the Danish 2nd Division.[4]
In the first season they gained promotion from the 2nd division, and in 2021/2022 they were once again promoted to the top flight in Denmark.[5] They were however relegated again only the next season, when they finished last in the 2022-23 Håndboldligaen.[6]
