Ahead of the 2018–19 season, however, Silkeborg KFUM reached promotion to the Denmark Series, the fifth tier of Danish football, for the first time in club history.

[2] Another noteworthy player of the early days was Aage Ewald Sørensen, who was club captain and is remembered as an inspirational figure on – but also off – the pitch, where he would continue his career as a sexton in Silkeborg.

The first place meant promotion to A-rækken, the second regional tier, where the team quickly established themselves as a solid mid-table side.

After consolidating this position for a handful of years, KFUM's first team succeeded in winning the A-række in 1940 after an emphatic 5–1 victory over Alhedens Idrætsforening in the finals.

[4] At the end of World War II, in 1945, KFUM Parken lay fallow after having been used as a training ground by the occupying forces.

New association football, handball and tennis courts were constructed, an entrance hall was built, as well as a modern clubhouse.

[5] The former home ground, KFUM Parken, was sold for DKK 300,000, which were in turn used for building a clubhouse, Idrætshuset, which was inaugurated on 22 August 1971.

Not only did the department experience rapid growth in terms of players, but its teams also managed to consolidate themselves in the highest regional tiers.

These development could partly be explained the state-of-the-art facilities at the new home ground, Søholt, which provided KFUM an upper hand in its physical surroundings compared to its competitors.

[2] During this period, the results in the youth sides made KFUM mostly known for its strong academy, while the first team was still competing in the lower regional tiers of the DBU Jutland.

[4] As a natural consequence of the cohesiveness in the club as well as the high level of the youth department in the second half of the 1970s, the first team began to assert itself in the 1980s after some relatively meagre years.

These were brothers Poul and Jens Trier and Ole and Michael Vestergaard, Carsten Røjkjær and Per Sønderbæk, who had been through the ranks of Silkeborg KFUM.

[6] This invariably had created sense of togetherness which, added with players such as Flemming and Per Møldrup, who had both played for KFUM and at a higher level for Silkeborg IF, proved to be a particularly efficient recipe for success for the first team during these years.

Olsen quickly established himself in the starting lineup of Jensen, and when he left Silkeborg IF in 2009, he had made an impressive 126 appearances for the club.

[10][11] After a strong showing during the autumn, the team reached promotion to the Jutland Series 2 on 9 October 2016 with four games left to play after a 4–0 win over Kvik/Aalestrup IF.

[18] In October 2017, head coach Lars Dahl left the position after reaching qualification for the Denmark Series by drawing 1–1 against DGL 2000.

[19] On 19 June 2021, Silkeborg KFUM secured promotion to the newly created Danish 3rd Division, after competitors Marienlyst lost 3–1 to Vejgaard BK.

[20] Silkeborg KFUM announced on 14 July 2021 that the club would be renamed Young Boys FD and would introduce professional contracts to their first team.
