History

Early decades

KFUM's Boldklub Roskilde was founded on 14 May 1929, with its first chairman becoming A. Møller. The club grew quickly, and had four teams by 1931. In 1942, the first team won DBU Zealand's B-række, the second highest regional level. However, due to World War II, less football was played during the coming years.

In 1957, Roskilde KFUM became champions of the A-række, the highest regional tier, reaching promotion to the national leagues for the first time in club history.

In 1976, construction of a new home ground began.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“KFUM Roskilde” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, KFUM, Roskilde and Danish provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19562319. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1929, 1979, 2019 and 1931.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
