## History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1992 as a merger between Skjern Gymnastikforening af 1916 and Skjern KFUM og KFUK's Idrætsforening to promote handball in Western Jutland.[2] The club started in the third tier, the 2nd Division.[2]

In the 1997/1998 season the team was promoted from the 1st Division to the top flight, and the year after in 98/99 they won the Danish Championship. This makes Skjern Håndbold the first Danish side to win a title as a newly promoted team.[2] The team also won the Danish cup the same season beating Frederiksberg IF in the final.[2] In 2021 the club was the first Danish men's team to reach the final four of the EHF Champions League.[3]

In the 2024-25 season the team broke their attendance record with 2963 average attendance pr match.[4]
