History
The club played in the fourth level of football in 1994–1998, in the third level in 1998–2004 and again in fourth level in 2004–2011. In January 2011, a merger took place between AFK Chrudim, a club founded in 1899, and SK Chrudim. This new club became known as Městský fotbalový klub (MFK) Chrudim.{{cite news |url=http://chrudimsky.denik.cz/fotbal_region/spolecny-fotbalovy-klub-mfk-chrudim-se-uz-rodi.html |title=Společný fotbalový klub MFK Chrudim se už rodí |publisher=denik.cz |date=26 January 2011 |accessdate=4 July 2011|language=cs}} In June 2011, Chrudim were promoted to the third-tier Bohemian Football League, despite only finishing second in the Czech Fourth Division's Divize C, due to an extra place becoming available following the withdrawal of České Budějovice B from the division above.{{cite news |url=http://chrudimsky.denik.cz/fotbal_region/chrudim-bude-hrat-treti-ligu-20110622.html |title=Chrudim do ČFL, Živanice se vrátí do divize |publisher=denik.cz |date=23 June 2011 |accessdate=4 July 2011|language=cs}} It was also confirmed that from the start of the 2011–12 season, the club would be known as MFK Chrudim.
Chrudim won the Bohemian Football League in 2012, however due to the condition of their stadium, second placed FK Pardubice was promoted in their place, and Chrudim remained in the third-level league.{{cite news |first1=Milan |last1=Zlinský |first2=Luděk |last2=Votava |url=http://fotbal.idnes.cz/pardubice-maji-druhou-ligu-na-ukor-chrudimi-ktera-ma-spatny-stadion-1pd-/fot_dsouteze.aspx?c=A120620_085419_fot_dsouteze_cig|title=Pardubice mají druhou ligu.
