History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1899, making it the oldest football club in the city of Malmö. They participated in the first season of Allsvenskan in 1924/25. The club has altogether played 13 seasons in the premier division, in 1960 IFK finished second. In 1961, they made it to the quarter-finals of the European Cup (losing to Rapid Vienna). Before the 2009 season, the club switched their home stadium from Malmö IP to Malmö Stadion.

Historically, the club's main rivals are Malmö FF, although this rivalry has been toned down since the two clubs have not played in the same division for nearly 60 years. The club is affiliated with the Skånes Fotbollförbund.[5]

Kits

[edit]

IFK Malmö is often colloquially called di gule (the yellow) in reference to their team colours. At the 1958 World Cup held in Sweden, the Argentina national football team wore IFK's home shirt because their rivals West Germany would not agree to use their alternative colours.[6]
