Early history FC Fredericia was officially established on 3 January 1991 at two
extraordinary general meetings in
Fredericia fF and
Fredericia KFUM, respectively. Members overwhelmingly supported an agreement of cooperation between the two clubs, which their respective boards had previously agreed to. With effect from 1 January 1991, FC Fredericia became reality. In the
1994–95 season, Fredericia qualified for promotion play-offs after ending third in the promotion group of the 2nd Division West. After facing
AC Horsens over two legs, which ended 3–3 and 1–1, respectively, Fredericia reached promotion to the
Danish 1st Division, the third tier, on
away goals. In 2002, Fredericia fF pulled out of the project, so as of 2003 FC Fredericia continued to be the professional branch of Fredericia KFUM. In the autumn of 2005, they won the first edition of the former
Fionia Bank Cup, beating out
Kolding FC and
Vejle Boldklub on
goal difference. The following year, Fredericia moved into their new home ground,
Fredericia Stadium.
New ambitions The club achieved its highest ever league position, third in the second tier, under
Peter Sørensen in
2009–10, only missing out on promotion to the
Danish Superliga by three points. In the following seasons, after Sørensen was appointed manager for
AGF, Fredericia again became a midtable side. A high point, however, occurred in the
2012–13 season where the club found themselves in the race for promotion after a highly successful autumn. However, a series of poor results in the spring saw coach
Thomas Thomasberg sacked in April 2013, and the club finished the season in fifth place; out of reach of promotion. During the
2017–18 season, FC Fredericia went on a historic run in the
Danish Cup, knocking out AGF (1–0),
HB Køge (2–0) and
AaB (3–1) en route to the semi-finals, in which the club faced
Silkeborg IF in a home game on 25 April 2018. In front of 3,905 spectators at
Monjasa Park, the club lost 0–1 after an own goal by
Oliver Fredsted. In May 2020,
Fredericia Municipality announced at a press conference plans for upgrading Monjasa Park. A new stand with a seating capacity of 1,400 and
terracing able to hold 500 away-fans were planned for construction before the end of the year. The plans would see stadium infrastructure improve and prepare FC Fredericia for a possible future promotion to the Danish Superliga, which mayor
Jacob Bjerregaard stated could happen within the "next 2–3 years". The announcement came at a point where the
Danish Football Union had suspended the Danish leagues, including the
Danish 1st Division due to the
coronavirus pandemic. At that point, the team, coached by
Jonas Dal were third in the league, nine points from archrivals
Vejle Boldklub in the promotion spot. The new stand was completed in April 2021, bringing the total capacity to 6,000. On 9 May 2025, the club earned promotion to the
Danish Superliga for the first time in their existence, ending a 24 year spell in the
1st Division. == Players ==
