IFK Göteborg

IFK Göteborg was founded on 4 October 1904 at Café Olivedal in the Annedal district of Gothenburg, as the third IFK association founded in the city and the only one that remains. The club's first football match ended in a 4–1 victory against IK Viking, and it provided needed competition to Örgryte IS, the largest club in Gothenburg at the time. The club plays its home games at Gamla Ullevi and uses blue and white as its colours, which have given it the historical nickname Blåvitt.

The club is known by several nicknames, including Blåvitt, Änglarna and Kamraterna. Its most successful period ran from 1982 to 1996, when the team won 10 of 15 Swedish championships.
