Østerbro Idræts-Forening (commonly known as Østerbro IF) is an amateur football club based in Østerbro, Copenhagen. The club plays in the B-Liga, the second tier of the Danish Women's Football League. The club was established as a merger between Østerbro Boldklub (ØB) and Ryvang in 1998. Before the merger, ØB never fielded an 11-a-side senior women's team. Østerbro IF started fielding a women's 11-a-side team in the Copenhagen Series 2 (tier 7) in 2011 and first entered the league in 2014.
History Østerbro has mostly resided in the second tier of the league in the 2010s and 2020s, with some years in the third tier. From 2019 to 2026 under head coach Michael Mejdahl Andersen, the club participated three times in the qualifications for the top flight. The club had to forgo a match in the 2026 qualification play-offs for promotion as they were hit with injuries and had players departing during the winter break. The club advocated for fairer rules for amateur clubs as they are unable to secure new players during the seasons if needed.
