DBU Copenhagen (Danish: DBU København) is the local governing body for association football and futsal in Copenhagen, Denmark. They are responsible for the governance and development of men's and women's football at all levels in the region. DBU Copenhagen is a member of the Union of Local Football Associations in Denmark (FLU) under the Danish Football Association (DBU) and National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark (DIF). The headquarters is based at the Svanemølleanlægget at Østerbro after previously being located the national football stadium. Clubs situated in the municipalities of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Gentofte, Tårnby and Dragør can be accepted as members of DBU Copenhagen. Due to historical reasons a number of older clubs from other municipalities are also member of the association. In 2015 the association consisted of 150 clubs and 39,160 members with the oldest Danish association football club Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) being the largest club membership-wise only surpassed by Brøndbyernes Idrætsforening on a national level.
DBU Copenhagen publishes the magazine Københavnsk Fodbold (English: Copenhagen Football). It has six annual issues and is published in 5,000 copies. The magazine was revived in January 2005 (first edition was released in week 6) after a couple of years without a KBU-members magazine or football magazine focusing on Copenhagen football.
