## History

In 1914, the club was an integral part in the foundation of Valby Boldspil-Union (VBU) and later also participated in tournaments organized by Københavns Forstadsklubbers Boldspil Union (KFBU).[1] The club became an extraordinary member of the [Copenhagen Football Association](/source/DBU_Copenhagen) (KBU) in 1920 and a full member in 1921, enabling the club to participate in the leagues organized by the regional organization, after a short hiatus between 1921 and 1923.[1] The club reached the [Denmark Series](/source/Denmark_Series) for the first time in 1966 and obtained promotion to the Danish 3rd Division in 1979.[5]

Fremad Valby have played 10 seasons in the [third highest football league in Denmark](/source/Danish_2nd_Division), during two periods 1979–1983 and 1986–1990, but have primarily played in the lower ranking amateur leagues throughout their history.[6][7] Their best league result dated back to a 2nd place in the [1986 Danish 3rd Division, east group](/source/1986_Danish_3rd_Division), three points from a promotion to the [Danish 2nd highest football league](/source/Danish_1st_Division).[8][9][2] During their tenure in the professional leagues, the management decided to only have a squad consisting of players with amateur status. The Valby-based club have reached the third round proper of the [Danish Cup](/source/Danish_Cup) on three occasions, in the [1957/58-season](/source/1957-58_Danish_Cup), the [1963/64-season](/source/1963-64_Danish_Cup) and the [1982/83-season](/source/1982-83_Danish_Cup).[10][11] The club's record attendance at their home ground was set in 1987, when 2,095 spectators watched the [1987 Danish 3rd Division](/source/1987_Danish_3rd_Division) match against [BK Fremad Amager](/source/BK_Fremad_Amager).[12] The player with the largest number of caps for BK Fremad Valby is Steen Pedersen with 401 games, which were amounted during the 1970s and 1980s.[12]

The club's women's youth department have been featured in two documentary series on the [Danish Broadcasting Corporation](/source/DR_(broadcaster)) (DR) in 2010 (*Fodboldpigerne*) and 2018 (*Girls United*).[13][4]
