Previously, the clubs based in the Copenhagen area were directly members of the national football association, but at a DBU general meeting in 1903, Jutland Football Association (JBU) and the dominating Copenhagen clubs agreed to change the association's bylaws, so that the Danish Football Association in practice would change their name to Københavns Boldspil-Union, while a new Danish Football Association was formed, transferring all assets and liabilities except for the right to publication of the laws for football and cricket including the cash holdings. The Danish Football Association, who had previously been an organization for Copenhagen, would now become a real national organization, while KBU would take over the football administration for Copenhagen. The 10 Copenhagen clubs, that were members of the association at that time, would become the first members of the new Copenhagen Football Association: Akademisk Boldklub, Kjøbenhavns Boldklub, Boldklubben af 1893, Boldklubben Frem, KFUMs Boldklub, Østerbros Boldklub, Boldklubben Athenae, Boldklubben Lydia, Boldklubben Olympia and Frederiksberg Boldklub. At the foundation on 29 April 1903, the association was named Kjøbenhavns Boldspil-Union (KBU), the spelling was changed in 1936 to Københavns Boldspil-Union () and on 1 February 2011, the current name (DBU København) and logo was officially adopted as a direct result of the market review conducted by the Danish Football Association a few years before, while the previous name was kept as a secondary name.
