Djurgårdens IF Fotboll, commonly known as Djurgården (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈjʉːr.ˈɡoːɖɛn], locally [ˈjʉː(r)ɡɔɳ]), is a Swedish football club based at Stadion with a capacity of 14,417, located in the Östermalm district of Stockholm City Centre. They are currently playing in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan.

Formed in 1891, the club has 11 national championship titles and 4 national cup titles. Djurgården has won their Swedish championships during three eras. The first one occurred during the 1910s when the club won four championships, the second during the 1950s and 1960s with the same amount of championships. The latest era occurred in the first half of the 2000s: they finished second in 2001, won Allsvenskan and the cup – Svenska Cupen – in 2002, Allsvenskan in 2003, and Svenska Cupen in 2004, before winning Allsvenskan for a third time in 2005. The club is affiliated to the Stockholms Fotbollförbund.[1]

History

Djurgårdens IF was founded 12 March 1891 at a café in Alberget 4A on Djurgården. The first real football field in Stockholm was created in 1896 and Djurgårdens IF's football department was formed in 1899, with the help of former GAIS-player Teodor Andersson. The first real achievement was made in 1902 when the team finished second in the tournament Rosenska Pokalen. Just two years later, in 1904, the first Swedish Championship final of the club was played, ending in a defeat against Örgryte IS. The team finished second in three more finals before the first Championship victory came in 1912 after two draws in the final matches against Örgryte, and a replay which Djurgården won. The club won three more Swedish Championships in the early years, in 1915 against Örgryte, 1917 against AIK and 1920 against IK Sleipner. However, DIF never managed to win Svenska Serien, the top Swedish league of the period, before the club's first great era ended. Between 1911 and 1935, Tranebergs Idrottsplats was the homeground for Djurgården. For the 1912 Summer Olympics, Stockholms Stadion was built. It became Djurgården's home arena in 1936.

The club did not qualify for the first season of Allsvenskan, and only reached that league twice between 1924 and 1944, being directly relegated back down to Division 2 both times. The club did also play three seasons in the then third highest league, Division 3, between 1929 and 1932. From 1944 on, the club became a stable Allsvenskan club. In 1951, the team became runner-ups in Svenska Cupen after Malmö FF, this was the team's first Cup final. The second great era took place in the 1950s and 1960s, winning Allsvenskan four times during the period. In 1959, both the football team and Djurgårdens IF's hockey team won their respective Swedish Championships of Sweden's two most popular sports, a remarkable happening.

The 1970s saw no greater successes, with three third-places as the best results. The 1980s was not a good decade for the club, being relegated from Allsvenskan in 1981, and losing two promotion play-offs, before making a one year visit in the highest league in 1986, although DIF returned two years later, and stayed in Allsvenskan for five consecutive seasons, but had no greater success except losing the Championship final in 1988. The 1990s saw Djurgården being relegated from Allsvenskan no less than three times, and being promoted back two times. During this decade, the club suffered from great economical problems and was close to bankruptcy. The first half of the 2000s was a golden era for the club, with three championships (2002, 2003 and 2005) and three cup wins (2002, 2004 and 2005). This marked the end of the golden era for Djurgården which ended on sixth place in 2006. The club was one of the main contenders for the league championship in 2007, which ultimately lead to a third place. The results went downhill in 2008 and 2009; Djurgården ended up on 14th place in 2009, and had to play through a relegation playoff against Assyriska Föreningen to remain in Allsvenskan.

Former England striker Teddy Sheringham had a brief spell at Djurgården early in his career, as a 19-year-old loanee in 1985.

Records

Fans

Djurgården's supporter club is called Järnkaminerna (The Iron Stoves). The supporters club was founded in 1981 as Blue Saints and changed name in 1997 because the old name was perceived to be associated with violence by the media and some supporters.[citation needed]

Rivals

Djurgården's arch rivals are AIK, because of several reasons. Djurgårdens IF and AIK were both founded in 1891 separated by just a month apart and both are originally from the Northern part of Stockholm. AIK now in Solna municipality and Djurgården the city centre and Östermalm. They are also historically the biggest and most successful clubs from Stockholm, with 11 League titles each. The Djurgården vs AIK rivalry is considered by far the biggest rivalry in Sweden and maybe even the whole of Scandinavia because of its rich history and the huge animosity between the two clubs and both sets of fans. When Djurgården play AIK both sets of supporters turn out in great numbers and the matches between the two have often over the years produced the biggest attendances in the Swedish football season and fantastic atmospheres.

Hammarby IF is also considered a main rival. Though the rivalry has never been as big as the rivalry with AIK. Traditionally it has been seen as the secondary rivalry by Djurgården fans because of the strong history behind the Djurgården and AIK rivalry and the competitiveness on the national scene of both clubs while Hammarby haven't done so to the same degree. Though the rivalry has gained in strength over the last years due to Djurgården and Hammarby's recent successes. There is strong dislike between the two sets of fans also in this rivalry, there is also a geographical divide between the two clubs with Djurgården originating from the North of the city and Hammarby from the South. The matches between Djurgården and Hammarby don't get the same attention from Djurgården supporters as the matches against AIK but they are still eagerly anticipated all the same and produce great atmospheres and good attendances.

Other rivals are IFK Göteborg, Malmö FF and GAIS.

Abbreviation problems outside Sweden

Outside Sweden, the club is sometimes referred to incorrectly as "Djurgårdens", which means "Djurgården's". The club's full name is Djurgårdens Idrottsförening, abbreviated Djurgårdens IF, which literally translates to "Djurgården's Sports Association". Helsingborgs IF, Halmstads BK and Trelleborgs FF have the same problem.[citation needed]

Footnotes

A. ^ The title of "Swedish Champions" has been awarded to the winner of four different competitions over the years. Between 1896 and 1925 the title was awarded to the winner of Svenska Mästerskapet, a stand-alone cup tournament. No club were given the title between 1926 and 1930 even though the first-tier league Allsvenskan was played. In 1931 the title was reinstated and awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan. Between 1982 and 1990 a play-off in cup format was held at the end of the league season to decide the champions. After the play-off format in 1991 and 1992 the title was decided by the winner of Mästerskapsserien, an additional league after the end of Allsvenskan. Since the 1993 season the title has once again been awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan.[8]
