[edit]Randers Freja was founded in 1898, and was accepted into the JBU in 1907.[2]
The football department, under the name Randers Freja FC, was established in the late 1990s. In 2003, it merged with five other local football clubs to form Randers FC.[3] The club's football department still exists, but is now considered the reserve team for Randers FC.

In 2006 they entered in a cooperation with a list of other sports clubs in and around Randers to create the men's elite handball team Randers HH.
