From 2000, the club won three promotions in a row, from Series 1 (2000) via the Zealand Series (2001), ultimately reaching the Denmark Series for the first time in club history after a decisive match against Lyngby Boldklub.[2] After that, they stayed in the Denmark Series for a year, after which they won another promotion and moved up to the Danish 2nd Division in 2004. The club's first season in the third best tier ended with a last place, but due to a restructuring of Danish divisions, they remained in the division. Head coach Finn Christoffersen and assistant coach Jens Jørgensen, led the team through promotions, and were later succeeded by former Brøndby IF profile and Denmark national team player Bent "Turbo" Christensen.[3]

Since the early 2000s, Værløse slid down the divisions again. In June 2009, the club suffered relegation to the Denmark Series,[4] and they have since settled in Series 1.[5]
