History
Further information: Kolding IF and Kolding BoldklubKFC's relatively short history started with a merger between the two oldest football clubs from Kolding, Kolding IF and Kolding Boldklub, which was put into effect on January 1, 2002 after a period of intense negotiations.
In 2002-03, their first complete season as Kolding FC, the club, that had just been relegated from the 1. Division, finished the season in the middle of the table in the 2. Division, placed ninth among sixteen teams. In 2003-04, the team was just one point away from promotion back to the 1. Division, but missed the opportunity after losing to Dalum and Næstved.
Finally, in 2004-05, the club topped the 2. Division, with an impressive 23 wins, 7 losses, no ties, and gained promotion back into 1. Division.
In the winter break in the 2005-06-season, the team was 3rd, and had greatly exceeded their own expectations of reaching the top 11. They needed just 2 points to reach the 2nd place, which granted promotion to the Superliga. However, the team did not make it. Five matches before the season ending, the expectations were adjusted to the top-5, but four losses and a tie destroyed that. The team ended 6th, after a very unstable summer-season.
