The Malmo FF , often mainly in Sweden with MFF abbreviated, is one of Sweden's most successful football clubs. FF stands for Fotbollsförening ( German  football club ). It was founded in Malmö in 1910 and is the country's record champion with a total of 20 championships and record cup winner with 14 titles. Since 1971 the club has also had a department for women's football ( Malmö FF Dam , since 2007 LdB FC Malmö ). At times the club also had a badminton department , in which one of the world's best badminton players trained with Eva Stuart .

History of the men's team

In 1931 the club played for the first time in the highest Swedish league, the Allsvenskan , but was excluded from it in 1933 because they had violated the amateur regulations. Since 1936, with an interruption in 2000, the club has been in the highest Swedish league. The greatest international success was the final participation in the European Cup in 1978/79 , when they lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest . In the same year the club was honored with the Svenska Dagbladet gold medal. Malmö FF plays its home games at Swedbank Stadion .

History of the women's team (Malmö FF Dam)

On September 7, 1970, the Malmö FF association decided to open a women's section. So the club got a women's team from 1971. In the 1970s, the team worked their way up to Division 2 Södra (2nd division) before the team became first class with the establishment of the double-track Damallsvenskan (still called Division 1 Norra or Södra) in 1981. In this Division 1 Södra Malmö FF Dam played since this year, until today (now "single track" Damallsvenskan). Since then, Malmö FF Dam has won five Swedish championship titles and two cup wins. In April 2007, the department spun off as LdB FC Malmö and became independent, followed by the first championship title in 16 years in 2010. Since 2013 the club has been called FC Rosengård .

badminton

In 1948 Malmö FF formed a badminton section from the Malmö BK and BK-33 Malmö clubs . This was Swedish team champion in 1979. Furthermore, twelve individual titles were won. In 1980, badminton hived off from the club again.
