Since its foundation in 1998, neither the men's nor the woman's team won the championship or the national cup. The woman's team was able to reach the finals of the national cup in 2006 but lost to HV Quintus. Because the team reached the finals of the national cup, they were allowed to enter the EHF Cup Winners' Cup, but were knocked out of the tournament after the first round.[2]

In 2008, BFC co-operated with V&L and HV Sittardia to form a stronger men's team. The project was called Tophandbal Zuid-Limburg and two team were formed: Limburg Lions and Limburg Wild Dogs (later turned into the second team of Limburg Lions). In 2016, the management of BFC decided to take no longer part in the collaboration.[3]
