history
The association was founded on August 25, 1903 as Godtemplarnas Idrotts Förening ( German : Sportvereinigung der Guttempler ), but in 1920 it lifted its sobriety law and since then has been called Gymnastik och Idrotts Föreningen Sundsvall ( German : Gymnastik- und Sportvereinigung Sundsvall ). The club has been promoted and relegated very often since the permission for sports clubs from Norrland to play in the Allsvenskan , and played continuously in the highest Swedish league from 1999 to 2005.
At home, the audience record was 16,507 spectators on October 15, 1961 against Högadals IS .
Two of the most famous former players of the sports club are Tomas Brolin and Emil Forsberg .
The club's ice hockey department took part in the 1940 and 1942 seasons in the Swedish championship , which was then still held in cup mode .
