Parken Sport & Entertainment announced on Tuesday that its board has decided to explore a full or partial sale of FC Copenhagen, including the men’s and women’s teams and its ownership stake in FC Rosengård 1917, as reported by Fotbollskanalen.
Board Explores Sale of FC Copenhagen and Stadium
Parken Sport & Entertainment’s board believes the timing is right to investigate strategic alternatives to the current ownership structure, according to a press release cited by Aftonbladet. The company has retained a financial adviser to assist with the process. Alongside the football operations, the board is also weighing the potential sale of the Parken stadium and its associated office buildings.
Rosengård Chairman Welcomes the Ownership Review
FC Rosengård 1917 chairman Håkan Wifvesson views the sales process positively, telling Fotbollskanalen that new investors could bring additional capital to lift the clubs further. Parken Sport & Entertainment acquired its stake in the Swedish Division 1 club during the winter with the ambition of developing talent and pushing the team toward the Allsvenskan. Wifvesson stated that he is entirely certain the process will not negatively impact Rosengård, noting the close alignment and mutual respect between the organizations.
Building Long-Term Ambitions Toward 2027
Rosengård’s men’s team currently sits sixth in Ettan Södra after corporate restructuring concluded in January, leaving the squad playing catch-up in the spring and summer. Wifvesson emphasized that building a competitive team takes time and that the club evaluates its budget and needs on a multi-year timeline rather than chasing short-term fixes ahead of the 2027 targets.
