About

GAIS, short for Göteborgs Atlet- och Idrottssällskap, was founded on 11 March 1894 at Edlunds Café in Gothenburg, and its football department was formed in 1897. The club is nicknamed Makrillarna (the Mackerels) and Grönsvart (green-black), after its green and black striped shirts and white shorts.

GAIS play their home games at Gamla Ullevi and are one of the oldest football clubs in Sweden. They were founding members of Allsvenskan and the first champions of the league, winning the first season in 1924/25.

The club went through long spells of ups and downs in the league system, especially from 1976 to 2005. After promotions in 2022 and 2023, they returned to Allsvenskan for the 2024 season.
