The Allmänna Idrottsklubben (German: Der Allgemeine Sportklub ), mostly known by the abbreviation AIK , is one of the largest Swedish sports clubs with over 20,000 members .

With a number of championship titles in team and individual sports, the club is one of the most successful clubs in the country. For example, he was eleven times Swedish champion in football and seven times Swedish cup winner. The ice hockey department was a total of seven Swedish men's championships and twice, in 2004 and 2007, the women's championship and won the first four women's championships between 2005 and 2008 of the IIHF European Women Champions Cup . In addition, the first two Swedish Wimbledon tennis winners were also part of the AIK.

The club, founded in 1891, has been based in Solna since 1937 , before that it was based in Stockholm . The club does not officially have a place name in its name. In German-speaking countries it is usually referred to as AIK Solna or AIK Stockholm .

history

The founding of AIK was preceded by a curious story: While the brothers Isidor and Emanuel Behrens were walking through the Hantverkargatan in Stockholm, the two noticed that they were being followed by two young people. As a result, they quickened their pace, but the pursuers did the same. As the four of them ran through town, the scenery was like an impromptu competition. After the persecutors were shaken off, the brothers decided to found a sports club.

On Sunday, February 15, 1891, seven young Swedish men came together at Biblioteksgatan 8 , the house of the Behrens brothers. In addition to the brothers, Henrik Staberg , W. Pettersson , K. Björck , Oscar Rylander and F. Karlsson were among the founding fathers of the club. A week later, Isidor Behrens was elected first chairman of the newly formed association.

Patrik Löfgren with the Dickson Cup

AIK's offer initially only included gymnastics and athletics . Shortly after the club was founded, one of the club's athletes had their first success in a major championship: the runner Patrik Löfgren won the Dickson Cup, the trophy for the English Mile donated by James F. Dickson , the royal equestrian to the King of Sweden. By 1894 he was able to win the competition three times in a row.

In the years that followed, the club lived up to its name as a general sports club by rapidly increasing the number of sports on offer.

AIK's football division is one of the club's most successful divisions. Since it was founded in 1896, the club has celebrated a total of eleven championship titles and seven cup wins. Above all, the club was able to shape the early days of Swedish football together with the Gothenburg club Örgryte IS (ÖIS) - but also with Stockholm's local rival Djurgårdens IF (DIF). Thanks to the numerous successes and further placements in the front table area of ​​the Allsvenskan , the team also appeared internationally in the European Cup .

history

Establishment of the department and first championship title (1896–1924)

he teams from AIK and Djurgårdens IF before their first duel on July 16, 1899

In 1896, under the direction of Sigfrid Stenberg, the football department at AIK was launched. The sports enthusiast Swede, one of the leading members from the early days of the Stockholm Idrottsförbund , discovered the sport for himself during a stay in England and brought it to AIK. In 1898 the club was the first team from Stockholm in the final for Svenska Mästerskapet , but lost 3-0 to reigning champions Örgryte IS after two 30 minutes of play in Stockholms Idrottspark , where the Olympic Stadium is today . A year later it came in Stockholm for the first duel with local rivals Djurgårdens IF, also founded in 1896, which AIK won 2-1. On September 24th that year the team lost to Gefle IF in the final of the Rosenska Cup , one of the most important competitions in the early days of Swedish football.

The championship team from 1900

On July 29, 1900, the AIK football team reached the Swedish championship for the second time after the association's decision - the playoff against Djurgårdens IF ended goalless after several overtimes, but AIK had won twice against DIF during the year - and dethroned the previously sole one Master Örgryte IS with a goal from team captain Gunnar Franzén in the final, which again only lasted 60 minutes. Since the final took place as part of the Swedish Athletics Championships taking place in Stockholm, there were double burdens for some players who also took part in the athletics competitions. AIK also reached the final in the Rosenska Pokalen , but lost the new edition of the previous year's final against Gefle IF with 0: 9.

The following year, the Swedish championship was held in a four-team tournament again parallel to the athletics championships in Gothenburg. In addition to AIK, Göteborgs IF and two teams from Örgryte IS took part. AIK was able to win its semi-final against the first team of ÖIS with 3-0, the other semi-final won ÖIS 2. Since the athletics competitions lasted longer than planned, the final had to be canceled due to darkness and AIK was awarded the title because of the victory against the first team of ÖIS. For the third time in a row, the club faced Gefle IF in the final of the Rosenska Pokalen, but the game ended 1: 1 after extra time, so that no winner could be determined.

From 1902 AIK took part in a seven-team league newly introduced by Svenska Bollspelsförbundet . In the first season the club entered the league with two teams. In the end, fourth place jumped out, while the second team was bottom of the table and from then on only played lower class. In 1906 AIK was relegated to the second division for the first time, but managed to return directly to the Stockholm Series Class 1 , the successor to the league operated by Svenska Bollspelsförbundet . The promoted team managed to win both the relay and the Wicanderska Välgörenhetsskölden .

AIK first came into contact with foreign football in 1908 when, together with Djurgårdens IF, the English amateur club Northern Nomads and B.93 Copenhagen were invited from Denmark. While a mixed team lost 1: 5 against the Danes, the pure AIK team lost 0: 2 against the English club. In September, SC Victoria Hamburg made a guest appearance in Sweden, the game ended in a 4-4 draw. In addition, with Theodor Malm and Karl Ansén, two AIKler stood in the first international match of the Swedish national team on July 12, 1908, an 11: 3 win over Norway . The following year, the championship in the Stockholm series and the victory of Wicanderska Välgörenhetsskölden could be repeated, but both in the district championship and the Swedish championship, the club failed on local rivals Djurgårdens IF.

As one of the leading teams in the Stockholm series , AIK qualified for the 1910 newly created Svenska series , which, however, was not decisive for participation in the championship round. While the club measured itself against the competition in the following years with varying degrees of success - in particular the Gothenburg clubs Örgryte IS and IFK Göteborg dominated the Svenska series - it reached the final for the national championship title several times. A year later, he won the title at home Råsunda idrottsplats with a 3-2 win over IFK Uppsala , where he had failed in the semi-finals the previous year . 1914 turned into one of the most successful years of the AIK, when the team won almost all important competitions: the national championship with a 7-2 final win over Helsingborgs IF , the district championship, and a 4-1 victory over Djurgårdens IF the Wicanderska Välgörenhetsskölden. In addition, 14,000 spectators followed the 3-0 victory over Liverpool FC, which played a friendly . Two years later, AIK underlined its exceptional position in Stockholm football by winning the fifth league title with a 3-1 win over Djurgårdens IF and the district championship with a 5-1 win over Järva IS .

This was followed by a brief dry spell for AIK, only interrupted by the lost championship final in 1917. Two years later, the club did not even take part in the Swedish championship, but provided ten different national players during the year. The team left Northern Europe for the first time in the 1920s and went on tour. The first stop was France in 1921, where the club met Racing Club , FC Cette , CA Paris and OSC Lille . In 1923, the AIK team, studded with national players such as Rudolf Kock , Rune Bergström , Per Kaufeldt or Helge Ekroth , won the club's sixth championship title in the Stockholm Olympic Stadium with a 5-1 win over IFK Eskilstuna.

Founding member of the Allsvenskan and renewed triumphs (1924–1950)

In the Svenska series, AIK was in the shadow of the Gothenburg clubs, but still qualified for the newly created Allsvenskan , which replaced the Svenska series as the highest Swedish league in 1924. After a good start to the opening season in 1924/25, thanks to a 5-1 success with goals from Oskar Palm , who scored twice, Helmer Svedberg and Per Kaufeldt and a goal from Gösta Ståhl via Västerås IK , AIK was behind at the end of the first season Gothenburg clubs that also dominate here - GAIS, IFK Göteborg and Örgryte IS occupied the first three places - fifth place and also finished the following seasons in midfield behind the Gothenburg clubs.

In the summer of 1928 there was a scandal at AIK when the two best-known players Per Kaufeldt and Ernst Wahlberg were banned by the association for violating amateur regulations. After a change at the top of the club and in the team, which was rejuvenated by young players such as the future national player Wilhelm Petersén , the team found itself in a relegation battle for a season. After a gradual increase, it reached the runner-up behind GAIS in 1931, when a total of eleven different players were appointed to the national team. In the following season, AIK topped the preseason and won the Von Rosens Cup nine years after the last championship title . The team supervised by the Austrian Ferdinand Humenberger lost only one game of the season and also dominated the league in terms of the average attendance: With an average of 17,728 spectators per game, the club had hardly less crowds than IFK Göteborg (9,836) and Örgryte IS (9,766), placed behind in the ranking list. together.

After two years in the middle of the table, AIK established itself in the top of the league and finished the championship twice as runner-up. Just in time for the inauguration of the new Råsundastadion in 1937, the club climbed to the top of Allsvenskan for the second time at the end of the season and thus celebrated the eighth championship title in the club's history. The league was so dominated that runner-up IK Sleipner was nine points behind. In addition, with Olle Zetherlund , who scored 23 goals in 22 games this season, the top scorer in the Swedish elite class for the first time. Two years later she again achieved the runner-up title behind IF Elfsborg - but with nine points behind. With striker Erik Persson , who scored 16 goals this season like Ove Andersson from Malmö FF and Yngve Lindegren from Örgryte IS, another player of the club won the title of top scorer.

After the successful 1930s there was a change at the club that helped various players to make their first division debut. Among them were Henry Carlsson , who later became one of Sweden's most important international professionals, numerous players who only played a first-class season. Due to this lack of consistency - in the 1941/42 season alone , eleven newcomers were used - the club also fluctuated in its performance and wavered between the title fight and the lower midfield. At times the club was in the running for the championship title, but placed behind the champions. The club also reached the final in the third edition of the cup competition introduced due to the war: they drew 0-0 against IFK Norrköping at their home Råsunda stadium , and IFK won the replay at Norrköpings Idrottspark with a 5-2 win. Again, after a successful season, the regression followed and AIK only ended up in midfield. As a logical consequence, a friendly against Charlton Athletic in June 1946 was the highlight of the year. The English first division team was already 7-1 ahead before AIK started a race to catch up and achieved a 7-7 draw. Quite a few therefore speak of the “Alla tiders AIK match”, the “AIK game of all time”.

Game scene on the occasion of a friendly game in the Berlin Olympic Stadium on June 26, 1949 between AIK and the Berlin city champion Berliner SV 92

Towards the end of the decade, AIK established themselves in the front half of the table. Still inferior to defending champion Malmö FF in the cup final in 1947, the club won the trophy for the first time in the third place in the cup final with a 1-0 win over Landskrona BoIS . While the league was dominated by Malmö FF in the 1949/50 season - the team won the championship without defeat and only played twice - AIK defended the cup with a 3-2 final win over Helsingborgs IF.

Between the European Cup and the second division (1950–1974)

The Olympic victory in 1948 and the success with third place at the 1950 World Cup led to a change in the personnel. Southern European clubs lured Swedish players in rows. In Italy and Spain in particular, but also in France, professional football was already played, while in Sweden, as in many other European countries, the sport's amateur status was still maintained. AIK also lost some top performers after 1948 such as Henry Carlsson, Bror Mellberg or Sune Andersson. In the 1950/51 season , when half of the 22 players were debutants or newcomers to AIK, the club found themselves in a relegation battle and, despite a sensational 1-0 success, rose above the 25-month unbeaten and already established champions Malmö FF due to the simultaneous 2-0 success of Örebro SK over IF Elfsborg (IFE) in the duel of direct competitors due to the poorer goal difference against IFE.

In the second-class Division 2 , AIK dominated the action and rose again with only one defeat this season. In the first division, the club continued their success and established themselves in the front half of the table , not least thanks to the storm duo Kurt Hamrin and Ingvar Olsson , who together scored 31 of the 47 goals of the season in the 1953/54 season . In the following season Hamrin also exceeded the competition in the league with 22 goals this season and was the third AIK player in the history of Allsvenskan to win the title of top scorer, which also benefited the club as third in the table. Later, with him again a top performer left the club for southern Europe. The new employer of the striker, who scored 13 goals in twelve games in his last season for AIK, became Juventus Turin .

The success of the Swedish national team at the 1958 World Cup in their own country was particularly noticeable in the 1959 season , the Allsvenskan posted one attendance record after the other. The Råsundastadion was also sold out for the first time in a league game - but the derby against Djurgårdens IF was officially an away game for AIK. As in the previous year, the AIK soccer team was in a relegation battle, and it wasn't until the penultimate match day that they were saved. Djurgårdens IF won the championship again, making the 1950s the decade of local rivals. Also in the following years in the relegation battle in 1961, relegation was unavoidable: as penultimate in the table, the team had to return to the second division.

After relegation from the first division, there was a complete upheaval in the management of the football department, both the chairman, team boss and coach were replaced. The former bandynational player "Moggli" Gustafsson took over the training and led the club as champions of Division II Svealand in the promotion round. There she met IFK Holmsund , Landskrona BoIS and IS Halmia . A 3: 1 win over IFK Holmsund was followed by a 1: 3 defeat against Landskrona BoIS, so that AIK with a goal difference of 4: 4 was only just ahead of the tied Landskrona BoIS with a ratio of 3: 4. On the last day of the match, an exciting duel developed in the parallel games, both of which were played on a neutral pitch. In the 18th minute of the game, Lennart Backman AIK took the lead. Landskrona BoIS also scored the 1-0 a short time later, but almost conceded the equalizer in return. In the final minutes, the events overturned: In the 83rd minute BoIS was again in the lead and only two minutes later overtook AIK 3-1. At the last minute - the other game was already over - Benny Söderling scored the 2-0 winner after a wide ball from Inge Bengtsson , with which AIK was back in front of Landskrona BoIS and promoted to Allsvenskan.

In the following years, the team wavered in the Swedish elite series between title and relegation battle. After the club strengthened itself with Lars Sjöström and Owe Ohlsson , he first appeared in a European competition in the summer of 1964 as a participant in the trade fair cup . In the first round, the team prevailed after a 3-1 away win and a 0-0 draw against Daring Molenbeek , in the second round they were eliminated against the Swiss representative Servette FC Genève . The first leg was won 2-1, but a clear 4-1 defeat in the second leg in Geneva meant saying goodbye to the international stage. In the following seasons it was not possible to build on the upward trend. Highlights in 1966 were a game against Górnik Zabrze as part of the Intertoto Cup , in which almost 80,000 spectators in Poland created a record crowd for an AIK game, and a game against the Brazilian national team , which was in preparation for the 1966 World Cup in Sweden made a guest appearance. The team around stars like Pelé , Garrincha and Tostão celebrated a 4-2 victory.

AIK experienced the end of the 1960s in a relegation battle. In some cases, they were only saved on the last match day, in the 1968 season only the better goal difference saved. In the 1971 season, AIK was able to stay out of the relegation battle for the first time, but ended up in the no man's land of the table due to a lack of consistency. Before the 1972 season , Owe Ohlsson and Jim Nildén, two longstanding performers, said goodbye to the team and ended their careers. As a replacement, the club signed Rolf Zetterlund and Torbjörn Ek , who filled in the gaps and led the club to the best season since the championship title in 1937. With one loss for the season and ten draws, AIK finished second behind Åtvidabergs FF . Through this success they reported back in the European Cup. In the 1973/74 UEFA Cup , the team failed in the first round at B.93 Copenhagen after a 2-1 away defeat in the first leg with a 1-1 draw.

Again there was a change in the team before the following season and after the departure of Szepanski, Ek and Jörgen Bengtsson , the team around Sanny Åslund , newcomers like Jan-Olof Wallgren or young talents like Tommy Lundh, made it to the runner-up. However, no AIK player was included in the 1974 World Cup in the summer .

Title wins and second division (1975–1990)

In the league, AIK continued to be volatile in the second half of the 1970s. This was also reflected in the number of trainers, six different trainers were employed by the club within five years. After Kurt Liander had replaced the unsuccessful Keith Spurgeon , his successor Lars-Oscar Nilsson managed to move into the cup final against Landskrona BoIS in 1976. After a 1-1 draw in Landskrona there was a replay at Råsundastadion, where a 3-0 win was the third cup triumph in the club's history. In the 1975/76 European Cup Winners' Cup , Galatasaray Istanbul succeeded after a 2-1 home defeat with a 1-1 draw in Istanbul, but the team was eliminated again in the first round from the European Cup.

Despite the cup win, Gunnar Nordahl was presented as a new trainer after the end of the season, under whom relegation was only ensured in the last games of the season. With a major investment before the 1979 season , AIK wanted to return to the circle of the top Swedish teams. Jens Lindblom , who had been in charge of the club for four years at the beginning of the decade, was brought back as coach . In addition, the club signed three established football players from Finland and Sweden, respectively, with the trio Jyrki Nieminen , Ola Rydstrand and Staffan Isaksson . After a failed start to the season, the team was in danger of relegation for the entire duration of the season and fell to a relegation zone after a 2-0 defeat against Halmstads BK on the last day of the match.

After the third relegation in the club's history, the former assistant coach Bo Petersson took over the team and, as with the flying visits in 1952 and 1962, managed to return to the Allsvenskan immediately. Anders Åslund and Ove Rübsamen, the most successful goal scorers, helped Norra to win Division 2 . After the successful recovery, AIK signed the former player Zetterlund, who in previous years had led IK Brage from the third division into the top group of Allsvenskan, as coach. While he only secured relegation in the 1982 season in the relegation against arch rivals Djurgårdens IF, he thanked the league in the following year by moving into the championship play-offs as first in the table for the trust of the club management, although the team there in the semifinals at IFK Göteborg failed.

In 1985, Zetterlund led the club to its first title win since 1976. In the home Råsundastadion, the team won the cup final on penalties against Östers IF, in the second appearance in the European Cup in the club's history they failed in the second round against the Czechoslovak representative Dukla Prague . In the 1986 season , AIK reached the championship play-off final for the first time, in front of 7,168 fans, AIK won the first leg against Malmö FF with a penalty goal from Mats Olausson 1-0, in the second leg the Malmö club won with a 5: 2 win the championship title. After the end of the season, Zetterlund left the club and went to Örebro SK. Under the new coach Nils Andersson , the level of the last few years could not be maintained. The minimalists - 15 goals conceded 17 goals and six games ended 0-0 - found themselves in the relegation battle, but were able to keep the class. After only one season, a new trainer was signed with the former player Sanny Åslund, under whose direction the team remained in the lower part of the table. Nevertheless, the club provided Jan Eriksson, a participant in the 1990 World Cup .

For the 100th birthday of the entire club, the club signed a new coach in Tommy Söderberg and brought in the experienced national players Peter Larsson , Bernt Ljung and Hans Eskilsson as well as the later international Pascal Simpson from the youth . In a regular season reduced to ten teams, the team reached the championship finals of the best six teams, which was played in league form, and was there last with three wins. In Svenska Cupen they made it to the finals, in Råsundastadion IFK Göteborg prevailed 3-2 after extra time.

Before the 1992 season , the club revealed the economic result of the lack of success in recent years and presented a debt level of 10 million crowns . Despite the bad news, the team settled in the front area of ​​the table and finished the regular time in fourth. In the final round, after losing to IFK Norrköping IFK Göteborg on the third last matchday, they took the lead with a 2-0 away win against their rivals Östers IF. After a 3-2 away win at Malmö FF on the final matchday, AIK celebrated the ninth championship in the club's history. In qualifying for the UEFA Champions League the following year, the club was eliminated by Sparta Prague .

Söderberg moved to Svenska Fotbollförbundet , with successor Hans Backe the team reached the second round of the 1994/95 UEFA Cup , in which they failed after two defeats by the eventual winner of the competition, AC Parma , and the cup final, which with 1: 3 was lost to Halmstads BK. After the end of the season, he was replaced by Erik Hamrén , who led the club to the second cup final in a row, which was won by a 1-0 win against Malmö FF. In the 1996/97 European Cup Winners' Cup , AIK was able to hibernate in the European Cup for the first time after successes over KR Reykjavík and Olympique Nîmes . In the quarter-finals, the team had to play against FC Barcelona in front of almost 75,000 spectators in Camp Nou . Simpson caused a bang when he gave the Swedish team an early lead. However, the later title winner turned the game around and prevailed 3-1 in the home game. In the second leg, AIK reached a 1-1 draw, the game brought the club a profit of over six million crowns. After the two games against FC Barcelona, ​​AIK was one of the favorites for the championship title in the 1997 season , after a mediocre season in the league, the title was defended in the cup. In the 1997/98 European Cup Winners' Cup , the team failed in the first round after extra time to Primorje Ajdovščina from Slovenia.

Despite two cup successes, Hamrén's tenure ended after two years and Stuart Baxter was signed as his successor. After a moderate start to the season, AIK won the tenth championship title in the club's history in the 1998 season, despite a minimalist scoring with 25 goals in 26 games this season. On the last day of the match, a 1-0 win over Örgryte IS after a goal by Alexander Östlund outstripped the previous leaders Helsingborgs IF, who lost to the relegated BK Häcken .

IPO, Champions League and relegation (1999-2004)

In March 1999, the football department was spun off as a stock corporation . When AIK Fotboll AB went public under the management of Svenska Handelsbanken , almost 60 million kroner were raised. The club used a large part of the sum to make up for the ice hockey team's losses.

In May of that year they won their fourth title in a row when they won the cup against IFK Göteborg with a 1-0 win in the first leg and a subsequent 0-0 draw. In a duel with Helsingborgs IF for the championship trophy, AIK lost one point. In a season that was not poor in highlights, the team also shone in the Champions League. In the second round, AIK met Dnepr Mahiljou from Belarus and moved into the third round with two wins. There it was against the Greek champions AEK Athens . After a 0-0 draw in Athens, Nebojša Novaković scored the golden goal in the second leg in front of 31,115 spectators, which gave the club entry into the group stage. Here AIK faced illustrious opponents such as Fiorentina , Arsenal FC and FC Barcelona. In the very first game against FC Barcelona, ​​AIK was on the verge of a sensation. It was 0-0 for a long time before Novaković shot the Swedes into the lead with a remarkable lob in the 72nd minute. Abelardo equalized the Spanish team in the 86th minute before Dani shot FC Barcelona to victory in stoppage time. In the second game, AIK was the first Swedish club team to play at Wembley Stadium . This game, too, was unfortunately lost. The Arsenal lead by Sweden Freddie Ljungberg was able to equalize Krister Nordin in the 53rd minute of the game and it looked like a 1-1 draw until shortly before the end. With goals from Thierry Henry and Davor Šuker again in stoppage time, the game ended with a 1: 3 defeat for AIK. In the third game against Fiorentina they won the first point in the group stage with a 0-0 draw, but the second leg in Italy was clearly lost 3-0. After a clear 5-0 defeat at Camp Nou, any chance of progressing was wasted and with a 2-3 home defeat against Arsenal with two goals from Andreas Andersson, who had been signed in the summer for a record fee of 19.5 million crowns , AIK said goodbye to the competition.

In the following years, AIK initially stayed in the top group and reached the cup final twice, which was lost to Örgryte IS and IF Elfsborg. In 2002 the club employed three coaches, Olle Nordin , Peter Larsson and the Czech Dušan Uhrin, and achieved a place in the front midfield with fifth place. The cup final, which was reached for the eighth time in eleven years, was lost to local rivals Djurgårdens IF. At the end of the season Uhrin returned to the Czech Republic and Richard Money took over the team. After AIK was able to play in the front for years, the crash followed in the 2004 season . Already in the preparation the team could not convince and after a 0-0 draw on the third matchday, Money resigned from his position. However, successor Patrick Englund could not slow down the downward trend and on the penultimate matchday, only six years after the last championship title, the relegation to the Superettan was certain.

New start in the second division, promotion and double win (since 2005)

AIK's fourth stay in the second division since Allsvenskan was founded in 1924 only lasted a year. Although the team started under the new coach Rikard Norling with two defeats from the first three games of the season, but subsequently a series of games could be started without defeat. On the tenth day of the match AIK was on a promotion place for the first time and the second place remained the worst place until the end of the season. In the end, the second division championship was won nine points ahead of runner-up Östers IF.

In the first division season in 2006 , the newly promoted AIK knew how to surprise and held up as the interim table leader. At the end of the season, with a better goal difference against IF Elfsborg, one point was missing for the eleventh championship title in the club's history. In the following two years could not build on this success and AIK missed the Royal League as fifth . For the UEFA Cup , the club qualified after triumphs against Glentoran FC (1st qualifying round) and FK Liepājas Metalurgs (2nd qualifying round). In the first round, Solna narrowly failed to Hapoel Tel Aviv . It was also the last season for the time being in which AIK Solna was represented in the European Cup. In November 2008, the club separated from Norling and replaced him with the former youth coach Mikael Stahre .

Stahre led the team back on the road to success. For much of the 2009 season , AIK fought a duel with IFK Gothenburg for the championship. On the last day of the match, AIK was one point ahead of the competition, which AIK won 2-1 with goals from Antônio Flávio and Daniel Tjernström and thus won the club’s eleventh championship title. A week after the end of the season, the teams also met in the cup final, which AIK won with a 2-0 win after goals from Flávio and Mauro Iván Óbolo . Thus, the team won the double for the first time in their club history , followed in March of the following year by a goal by Flávio with a 1-0 win over IFK Göteborg, winning the Supercup .

In the following season, three different coaches took care of the fortunes of the AIK football team: After Stahre left the club, which was in danger of relegation to the Greek first division club Panionios Athens , at the end of April, the previous sports director Björn Wesström took over until the summer , before the Scotsman Alex Miller was introduced as the new coach. Under his leadership, the team remained in the league, but he resigned after the end of the season. In qualifying for the Champions League , for which AIK had qualified as champions, the team prevailed against Jeunesse Esch (2nd qualifying round), but then lost to Rosenborg Trondheim (3rd qualifying round). In the barrage to the Europa League, the Swedes then narrowly eliminated against Levski Sofia . The club then sought different coaches before the former player and former assistant coach Andreas Alm was promoted to head coach in mid-December . In qualifying for the Europa League , Solna qualified for the European Cup for the first time since 2007/08 after successive triumphs against FH Hafnarfjörður (2nd qualifying round), Lech Posen (3rd qualifying round) and, surprisingly, against CSKA Moscow (Barrage). In the group stage of the Europa League, the team met SSC Napoli , Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and PSV Eindhoven . The club remained undefeated against the Dutch and celebrated a victory with a 1-0 home win, but in the end the team finished last in the group with the resulting four points.

AIK starting eleven in the league game against IF Elfsborg in the 2018 championship season (12 August 2018)

Under Alm, the club was again permanently one of the leading clubs in the championship, the worst placement during his tenure was the fourth place in the table in the 2012 season , which was associated with not taking part in a European competition . After a mediocre start to the season, he was released from his duties at AIK a few days after the eighth match day of the 2016 season, ranking ninth despite a 3-2 away win at Gothenburg club BK Häcken . He was succeeded by the returnees Rikard Norling, who led the club to runner-up behind Malmö FF until the end of the season. After the following season had ended with the same result, the club won the twelfth championship title in the club's history in the 2018 season . This succeeded without the "long-running" Nils-Eric Johansson , who had played almost 300 championship games for the club since his engagement in 2007 and had temporarily been the team captain, but had to end his career in early 2018 for health reasons due to heart problems. The team of current and former national players from their country such as Sebastian Larsson , Per Karlsson , Nabil Bahoui , Tarik Elyounoussi , Kristoffer Olsson and Enoch Kofi Adu distanced their opponents by two points in the duel with IFK Norrköping. The team that failed in the second qualifying round of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League due to the away goals rule against the Slovenian champions NK Maribor and then lost two in the play-offs of the group stage of the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League against Celtic Glasgow conceded, again in the top group, with fourth place in the table four points behind their arch-rivals and champions Djurgårdens IF, but they achieved their worst result since 2012 and thus missed their return to the European Cup.

Venues

Since the football division was founded in 1896, the football team has used various venues for their home games. First she played in Stockholm's Ladugårdsgärdet in the Östermalm district . Soon they moved on, however, and in 1900 the club won the first championship title in the club's history on the pitch in Lindarängen .

In 1901, however, the next move of the AIK football team was due. From then on, the club played on a square in Idrottsparken, where the Stockholm Olympic Stadium is today. When this was built in 1910, AIK had to evade and switched to Solna for the first time in order to find a new home on the square in the Råsunda district , where the Råsundastadion is now located. After the two-year construction work on the Olympic Stadium was completed, it became the venue for the home games of the AIK soccer team. From 1924 the team ran in the Allsvenskan Olympic Stadium and won the first championship title in the Swedish elite series here in 1932, the seventh in the club's history.

In 1936, AIK spent 100,000 crowns to help build a new national stadium in Solna. The Råsundastadion was designed based on the example of Highbury in the London borough of the same name and was designed for 40,000 spectators. At the opening game on April 18, 1937, a 4-0 victory over Malmö FF, a new attendance record was set in Sweden under the eyes of the then Swedish Crown Prince Gustav Adolf with 24,761 spectators. The club was able to finish the first season in the new stadium as Swedish champions. The stadium was expanded for the 1958 World Cup , before it was renovated and fundamentally renewed in the mid-1980s. A last renovation took place in 1995. Since then, the stadium has seated 36,608 spectators, 38 of which are disabled and 309 are in boxes. In 2013 AIK Solna moved to the new Friends Arena with 51,060 seats.

Fans

AIK's fan scene is one of the largest and most active in the country. The leading ultra groups are called "Sol Invictus" and "Ultras Nord", and AIK also has a supporter club called "Black Army". The active fan scene has been based on the north stand (Norra Sta) of the Friends Arena or earlier in the Rasunda Stadium . The hooligan group "Firman Boys" can also be assigned to the AIK, it is the largest in Sweden. Supporters of the club are called AIK: are or gnagare ( Eng .: rodents ).

Friendships

There are good contacts between individual fan groups and the fans of the German Bundesliga club Hannover 96 .

Rivalries

AIK's biggest rivals are clearly the other two Stockholm clubs Djurgårdens IF and Hammarby IF . AIK, DIF & HIF are not only among the largest and most successful clubs in the country, but also have the largest active fan scenes. The derbies are usually very well attended and sometimes sold out despite the large capacities. The atmosphere is unique in Europe, which is why many fans from abroad - especially England - come to the derbies every year. Outside the capital, only the duel against IFK Göteborg is of great explosiveness. There is generally a certain rivalry between the clubs from Stockholm and Gothenburg, but in contrast to the smaller clubs in the city, IFK has a comparatively large ultra and hooligan scene. Only Malmö FF or IFK Norrköping are to be regarded as rivals.

The women's soccer team was founded in 1970 and can look back on several years in the top Swedish league. The AIK women, who have played in Damallsvenskan since their promotion in 2007 , have not yet achieved any notable successes . The greatest success so far was reaching the cup final in summer 2007.

history

AIK's women's soccer team was formed in 1970. On May 10th of that year, the team took on Ronna Södertälje and won the game 3-0. In the same year they also joined the Swedish league system and played in the Stockholm series class 2 . A year later, the league won the championship without losing a point, so that the team was promoted to the Stockholm Series Class 1 . Here, too, the team remained undefeated and was first in the table.

1975 succeeded again the championship and after two successes in the promotion games against the women's team from Motala AIF , the team moved into the division 2 Östra Svealand . If there was still relegation in the first year, the team improved and in 1978 the league was won without a loss. The first year in the Swedish first class ended unsuccessfully for the team, as the table penultimate of Division 1 Östra , they rose again directly.

With 18 wins in 18 games, AIK Dam managed to return directly to the first division, where the team was able to play third in the table. The following year, the first division was reformed by reducing the number of seasons from four to two. Sixth place was enough for the AIK team to reach the new league. Here she placed regularly in the lower midfield and missed the qualification for the Damallsvenskan in 1988 .

In the now second-rate Division 1 Norra , AIK played again with the front and was able to prevail in the promotion games against Mariestads BoIS in 1992 and return to the first division. In 1995, however, the relegation followed and in the following year the team was passed through to the third-class division 2 Östra Svealand . In 1999 the AIK women rose again to the second division. In the northern season of the second division, which has been known as Norrettan since 2002 , won the championship title in 2004 without losing a season and thus returned to the Damallsvenskan. As eleventh in the table, AIK Dam missed relegation, but was able to celebrate the direct return to the House of Lords.

After the promotion, AIK made headlines with spectacular transfers. From the champions Umeå IK came Sofia Lundgren and Sanna Valkonen , from the runner-up and local rivals Djurgårdens IF / Älvsjö the Finnish goal scorer Laura Österberg Kalmari . As table tenth, the league was managed and the team reached the final of the Svenska Cup : On August 15, 2007, the final opponent was Umeå IK, who was able to prevail with a 4-3 win. Even in the following years, when players like Louise Fors , Anne Mäkinen or Emelie Ölander appeared for the team, she stayed in the league.

history

AIK's ice hockey department is the club's second most successful department alongside the soccer section. When at the Summer Olympics in 1920 one of Bandyspielern compiled Swedish Hockey selection could make the tournament successful and finished fourth, the sport established in Sweden and was also at AIK in 1921 a team. However, this was dissolved in 1923, but was rebuilt in 1925. In the 1929/30 season she was promoted to the first-class Elitserien . The AIK team was able to put its stamp on the championships in the 1930s and 1940s in particular. In 1934 the first title was won, which was defended in 1935. Up to the fifth title win in 1947, AIK was a total of seven times in the final.

Thanks to these successes, AIK was one of the founding members of Allsvenskan in 1948 . In 1953, however, the team rose for the first time and changed several times between the first and second division in the following years. It was not until 1961 that AIK was able to establish itself again in the top class. After several participations in the championship series, the runner-up behind Brynäs IF succeeded in 1968 . In the following years, too, the team was often in the finals, places in the front no longer get.

In 1975 AIK managed to qualify for the single-track Elitserien and three years later reached a final for the Swedish championship for the first time since 1947. After missing the final in the following two years, AIK reached the final again in 1981. Again the team had to admit defeat, Färjestad BK won three games. In 1982 AIK was again in the final and met IF Björklöven . After both teams won two finals, the fifth game in the Scandinavium had to bring the decision. AIK won it 3-2 and won the Swedish championship 35 years after the last title win. After being in the semi-finals the following year, AIK moved into the final again in 1984 and met local rivals Djurgårdens IF. With two victories, AIK won the seventh championship title in the club's history.

history

The history of the AIK floorball section goes back to 1981. At that time, the country hockey club Eldorado was founded, which initially operated sports with ice hockey sticks and tennis balls. When the decision was made to switch to floorball, this club became the IBK Solna in 1985 . In 1995 the club changed its name to Solna Innebandy and was promoted to Division 1 for the first time.

In August, the club joined AIK as the floorball department and initially ran as AIK / Solna IB . The descent to Division 2 Norra Stockholm in 1997 was followed two years later by the return to Division 1. There the direct march through to the first-class Elitserien succeeded , where the team was able to establish itself. In 2002 they won first place in the league, but in the championship play-offs the team failed in the semifinals. It was the same two years later when he was third in the table. It wasn't until 2005 that the final was reached, but Warberg's IC 85 won 3-2 there.

On April 8, 2006, the floorball team was able to triumph for the first time: In the final, a 6-2 victory over the Gothenburg club Pixbo Wallenstam IBK was achieved and the championship title was won for the first time. The team won the European Cup in the 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09 seasons. On 06/07 and 07/08 the Stockholmers beat Warberg IC 85, the second representative from Sweden. In the 08/09 season against the Swiss representative SV Wiler-Ersigen.

After 18 years of excellence, the AIK was relegated in the 2017/18 season .
