FC Copenhagen lion now available in store

The lion has been a strong symbol for FC Copenhagen ever since the club's inception in 1992.

When B1903 and KB merged to form FC Copenhagen, the lion was chosen as a symbol of strength and courage to represent the club, just as the lion is used on the Copenhagen city crest and Denmark's armed forces.

Right from the start the lion's head has been an integral part of our logo and image, and Leo has stuck with FCK through thick and thin.

The lion has therefore been of great importance to us and is a central part of FC Copenhagen's identity.

It was therefore decided last year to commemorate the FC Copenhagen lion. Alongside innovation house MOEF, FC Copenhagen have created a large lion figure to stand proud in the FCK Experience.

Making the lion

This was the first time the FC Copenhagen lion had properly been transformed from a flat image into three dimensions.

The first model was made of clay, before the real skeleton of the lion was built around it and then covered by 0.6mm fibre concrete.

We have these giant figurines of the lion on show in the FC Experience. They're the perfect gift for birthdays and Christmas, anniversaries, graduations, etc.

We have also designed miniatures of the lion - standing at 10cm and also 30cm in height - for those who would prefer a figurine or maybe a key ring!

All our lion products are available in the Fan Shop and are priced at between 99DKK and 999DKK.
