The IFK Timrå is a Swedish football club . The club belonging to the Sportbund Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna was created as a spin-off of the football department of Timrå IK . The predecessor clubs of today's lower class club were represented several seasons in the second highest Swedish league.
history
The roots of the club go back to May 11, 1928, when the oldest predecessor was founded under the name Wifstavarvs IK . A short time later, the Östrands IF was created . Both clubs merged in 1942 to form Wifsta / Östrands IF . While the ice hockey department developed into a first division team in the 1950s, the soccer department, analogous to local rivals Fagerviks GF , moved closer to the higher class sport. While this rose to the second division in 1958, Wifsta / Östrands IF followed a year later. For both teams, the stay in the second-highest Swedish division lasted a season before both established themselves in the middle division of the third division.
In the early 1960s, the two local rivals merged to form Wifsta / Östrand – Fagerviks IF , which held in the third division in the following seasons. In 1966, the fusion club gave itself a new name and from then on acted as Timrå IK . Under the new name, the team advanced to the front of the league and moved in 1970 as the season winner of Division 3 Södra Norrland Övre in the promotion games to the second division. There she met Bodens BK , Kubikenborgs IF and Gimonäs CK . With one win, one draw and one defeat, she rose to second in the group.
As with the previous clubs, the second division stay lasted a season. With three wins of the season, the club ended the season with six plus points behind in the table and rose again together with Ljusdals IF , Sandåkerns SK , Lycksele IF and fellow promoted Bodens BK. The relegation was followed by the crash into the fourth division, where the team was initially in danger of relegation. However, during the 1970s it established itself in the middle table area.
In 1978 the club dissolved into its individual departments, and an independent football club was created under the name IFK Timrå . This got into the relegation battle in the early 1980s and rose in 1984 to the fifth division. After several years in the lowlands of Swedish amateur football, they returned to the fourth division in 1998, in which the team dominated the season in their first season and managed to march through to the third division. The immediate relegation as bottom of the table was followed by renewed promotion with 16 wins in 22 season games. This time the team held up and in 2004 reached second place in Division 2 Norrland behind Umeå FC, the best result in the club's recent history. As a table ninth in the subsequent season, the club fell victim to a league reform and was now assigned to the fourth division Division 2 Norrland .
Relegated IFK Timrå dominated the Fourth league season and increased with 19 wins from 22 games and eleven points ahead of runner-up IFK Luleå in the Division 1 on. Here the team managed only one win of the season and with twenty points behind the last non- relegation place occupied by Valsta Syrianska IK , the club and Skiljebo SK were relegated . Another crash followed and the team was passed through to fifth division.
