==History==

Founded in 1917, the football section of Silkeborg IF played in the top ranks of [[Jutland]] until a short visit in the third division in 1962. In 1966, however the team was promoted to the 2nd division of Danish football. In 1982, the club took the decisive step towards the Danish top football, as the company SIF Football Support A / S was founded, a professional company that would be responsible for professional football in Silkeborg. This resulted in a rise in 1987 to the country's top row, the 1st division. This came as a large surprise to most football enthusiasts and a reporter from the Danish newspaper ''[[Politiken]]'' wrote, "It will be a surprise if Silkeborg will win a corner kick." The team, however, played well and already in the third game of the season Silkeborg defeated Denmark's dominant team, [[Brøndby IF|Brøndby]] with a 1–0 win at home.
