Vision

We are leading the development of Swedish sports.

Mission

Our mission is to develop, connect, and inspire through football — at home and around the world.

Core Values

Development

Our club was founded by entrepreneurs and innovators. We continue to grow and evolve in pursuit of ambitious goals. In a football world rich with tradition, we dare to think differently. It is our commitment to development that drives our success.

Youth

Young people are the future — and they shape who we are today. We aim to be the best in Sweden at identifying and developing football talent, but our focus on youth runs through everything we do: from tournaments to community projects.

Sustainability

We operate the club with a long-term, sustainable mindset. We manage our finances responsibly and are committed to building a more sustainable society. We actively promote diversity — in our teams, in our organization, and in the projects we lead.

Membership

BK Häcken is a member-owned club. It is our members who own the club, elect the board, vote on key decisions, and help shape the future of the organization.

Being a member of BK Häcken is the highest expression of your connection to the club. Your membership shows that you stand with the yellow and black family — through highs and lows — and that you want to be part of developing BK Häcken into an even stronger club.
As a member, you have the right to influence the club by voting at the annual meeting and by submitting motions. Membership also brings you closer to the club through exclusive communication, member events, and a range of benefits — including priority access to ticket releases and special member offers.

But above all, you become part of the yellow and black family.

Membership Year

Membership in BK Häcken follows the calendar year, ending on December 31 — regardless of when during the year you join.

BK Häcken’s Annual General Meeting is held in March each year. In addition to this decision-making meeting, the club invites members to two information meetings annually — in May and November — where you can receive updates from the club, ask questions, and share suggestions with elected representatives and staff.

If you have any questions about membership, feel free to email us at medlem@bkhacken.se.
