History

In 1957 Voel KFUM started around the central Jutland villages Sorring, Gjern and Voel.[2] In 2001 the team entered a sponsorship agreement with Jyske Bank and changed their name to Silkeborg-Voel KFUM. In 2003 the men's team were promoted to the top division in Denmark, Herrehåndboldligaen. After two seasons the men's team merged with Bjerringbro FH to create Bjerringbro-Silkeborg-Voel, which later became Bjerringbro-Silkeborg Håndbold.

Since then Silkeborg-Voel KFUM has focused on the women's team. In 2011 the team was promoted to the Damehåndboldligaen, but were relegated again the year after.[2] Two years after they were promoted again.[2] In their first season back, the 2014-15 Damehåndboldligaen they surprised everyone by reaching the Championship play off by finishing fifth.[3] The team had several later national team players on the team such as Anne Cecilie la Cour, Simone Böhme and Jette Hansen.[4] This also qualified the team for the EHF Cup for the first time.

The aftermath of the covid-19 pandemic meant that the club was in economic trouble on the verge of bankruptcy. The Chairman Carlo de Silva therefore resigned.[5] The club had to make 5.2 million danish kroner to stay afloat. The club did manage to put the money together with the help of among others the local Superligaen soccer team Silkeborg IF.[6]

In 2022, they qualified for their first Final 4 at the Danish Cup (Santander Cup) after seven failed attempts in the quarterfinals.[7]
