IFK Tidaholm is a Swedish football club from Tidaholm . The men's competition team played two seasons in the second highest Swedish division .
history
The club was founded in 1907 under the name Göta Bollklubb . After joining the Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna sports association , he was given the name IFK 44, or he started as IFK Tidaholm. While on the one hand football was one of the main sports in club life, the club was also strongly represented in athletics in the early years . In particular, the club member Eric Backman stood out as a successful Olympic participant. In the 1950s, however, the athletics division of the club was shut down.
District champion in 1912 and 1915, the IFK Tidaholm football team started in the lower class when the Swedish league pyramid was introduced at the end of the 1920s. Ten years later, the team briefly played third class, but rose again in 1941. After rising again in 1943, she won the season and then prevailed in the promotion games against Jonsereds IF . While the local rival Tidaholms GoIF won the season and only failed in the promotion round to Allsvenskan , the climber held the class as fourth in the table. In the following season he missed relegation due to the poorer goal quotient compared to the same point competitor Karlstads BIK and was downgraded to fourth division in the season 1946/47 as a victim of a league reform.
In the following years, IFK Tidaholm often fluctuated between third and fourth division without being able to establish themselves at the higher level in the long term. Only after the renewed promotion in 1972 did the team stay in the third division. Six years later she won her season. In the promotion round held in a group, she remained in the duels with Grimsås IF , Kalmar AIK and Råå IF pointless and goalless. Two years later, the club rose with a win of the season as bottom of the table from its third division season and was passed through to the fifth division the following year. After the direct rise, the club was again victim of a league reform in 1986 and downgraded to the fifth division. With that, the team also said goodbye to the higher-class Swedish football. Only occasionally succeeded in returning to the fourth division.
