'''Breiðablik''' (known as UBK Kopavogur when playing in European competitions) was founded in [[1950]] and is the biggest [[sports club]] in [[Kópavogur]] in [[Iceland]]. It has several divisions, both men and women: [[football (soccer)|football]], [[Athletics (track and field)|athletics]], [[basketball]], [[karate]], [[dance]], [[skiing]], [[swimming]] and [[team handball]].
== Name ==
The name [[Breiðablik]] comes from [[norse mythology]] where it was the home of [[Baldur]]. The nickname ''Blikar,Blix'' is formed from the second part of that name, meaning splendors or twinkles (like a [[star]]). The singular form ''Bliki'' is also a name for male ducks.
== Football - men's team ==
The men football team is notorious for bouncing between the two top leagues, getting promoted and relegated regularly. It won promotion to the [[Úrvalsdeild]] yet again in [[Landsbankadeild 2005|2005]]. Breiðablik although saved themselves from relegation in [[Landsbankadeild 2006|2006]], finishing in 5th place. Before the tournament they were told most likely to get relegated from the top division in Iceland along with [[Íþróttabandalag Vestmannaeyja|ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar]], but they proved them all wrong in the final rounds and found themselves ahead of [[ÍA Akranes]], [[Fylkir]], [[Knattspyrnudeild UMFG|Grindavík]] and [[Íþróttabandalag Vestmannaeyja|ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar]].
