History

BK Häcken was established in 1970 as Landvetters IF in Landvetter, a town near Gothenburg. In 2004, the club moved into Gothenburg city and changed its name to Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC accordingly.

In the 2010 Damallsvenskan season, Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC finished as runners-up and qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time. In 2011, they won the Swedish Cup on a penalty shootout over Tyresö, before retaining the trophy in 2012 by beating Tyresö in the final again.

Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC won their first league title in 2020. On 29 December 2020, the club board announced that its intention to cease operating the first team in the Damallsvenskan.
