DBU Copenhagen (
Founded in 1903 as Kjøbenhavns Boldspil-Union (KBU), the spelling was changed in 1936 to Københavns Boldspil-Union (Danish: Copenhagen Football Association). Its current name was adopted on 1 February 2011. The regional football association publishes a magazine Fodboldmagasinet København. It has four annual issues and is published in 3,500 copies. The magazine was revived in January 2005 (first edition was released in week 6) after a couple of years without a members magazine or football magazine focusing on association football in Copenhagen and related topics. Between 2005 and 2016, the publication was named Københavnsk Fodbold, until it was renamed in 2017.

Footnotes
- ^ The founding member of Kjøbenhavns Boldspil-Union, Frederiksberg Boldklub (founded 24 July 1885), in 1903 is not the same as the current exiting Frederiksberg Boldklub, that was founded later on in 1912. The original Frederiksberg Boldklub left the association at the end of the 1903/04 season. Some sources mention Boldklubben Urania (originally Idrætforeningen Urania) as one of the founding members instead of Frederiksberg Boldklub, but the club did not become a member of KBU on 29 April 1903, but rather on 20 June 1903 and left the association on 18 June 1908. The original club, Boldklubben Olympia (founded 8 August 1900), was the founding member of KBU, and they were dissolved on 30 September 1909.
