Malmö Fotbollförening, also known simply as Malmö FF, are a professional football club based in Malmö, Scania, Sweden. Formed in 1910, the club have won sixteen national championship titles and fourteen national cup titles, making them one of the most successful clubs in Sweden.[1] The club have also won the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan three times on occasions when the title of Swedish champions was not decided by the outcome of that league.[2] Malmö FF were runners up in the 1979 European Champions Cup final, which they lost 1–0 to Nottingham Forest. This made them the first, and, as of 2010, the only Swedish football club to have reached the final of the competition. For this, Malmö FF were awarded the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal, as of 2010 the only club so honoured.[3]

Malmö FF currently play in Allsvenskan, as they have done for the majority of their seasons. The club were most successful during the 1970s, when they won five Swedish championships and four Swedish cup titles. The club first won Allsvenskan in 1944, and took their latest title in 2010.[4] The club is affiliated to Skånes Fotbollförbund.[5]

History

Early years

Malmö IP at the time Malmö FF was founded

Malmö Fotbollförening were founded by nineteen young players on February 24, 1910, and initially played at Malmö IP. However, the history of the club dates back to a municipal initiative in 1905 to encourage youth in Malmö to play organised football. One of the youth teams, named Bollklubben Idrott, became the predecessor to Malmö FF. BK Idrott joined the newly created football department of IFK Malmö in 1909, but soon left due to issues between the two clubs. In 1910 the members of BK Idrott founded Malmö FF; the first chairman was Werner Mårtensson.[6][7]

The first ten years of the club's history were spent in local and regional divisions. The majority of matches were played in the city division called Malmömästerskapen, but the club also competed in regional competitions in Scania, as well as matches against Danish clubs. The year 1916 proved successful for Malmö FF, as they reached the final of the Scanian regional competitions, called Distrikmästerskapen, for the first time. The final was played against rival Helsingborgs IF; the game was lost 3–4.[8] The club also defeated local rival IFK Malmö three times during the season and thus earned the unofficial but much desired title of Malmö's best football club.[9]

In 1920 Swedish football clubs were invited by the Swedish Football Association to compete in official national competitions. The club earned a place in Division 2 Sydsvenska Serien. They won this division and were promoted to Svenska Serien Västra, the highest tier in Sweden at the time. However, they were relegated after one year in this division, and found themselves back in Sydsvenska Serien until they finally achieved promotion to the highest tier in Swedish football, Allsvenskan, in 1931.[10]

First years in Allsvenskan and early glory

Malmö FF 1944

The club achieved respectable league positions in two seasons, but in 1934 they were relegated as a penalty for breaking amateur regulations. The club had paid their players a small sum of money for each game. Although against the rules, this was common at the time; however Malmö FF were the only club to show it in their accounting records. In addition to relegation back to Division 2, the club suffered bans for the entire board and twenty-six players. The unofficial version of events suggests that local rival IFK Malmö reported the violation to the Swedish Football Association. The belief in IFK Malmös's involvement has contributed to the long-standing rivalry between the clubs.[11][12][13]

The club made their way back to Allsvenskan in 1937 after two seasons in Division 2. In the same year Eric Persson was elected as Chairman after being secretary since 1929; he would go on to serve as chairman until 1974. After two years of positions in the lower part of the league, in 1939 the club reached their highest position yet, third place in Allsvenskan, nine points behind champions IF Elfsborg. Many started to believe that the club's first Swedish Championship was close. However, this did not come until 1944, when the club won 2–1 in the next to last game against AIK in front of 36,000 spectators at Råsunda. The last game of the season was won 7-0 against Halmstad BK.[14]

In the next nine years Malmö FF finished in the top three every season. This resulted in Swedish Championships in 1949, 1950, 1951 and 1953 as well as finishing as runners up in 1946, 1948 and 1952. The club also won Svenska Cupen in 1944, 1946, 1947, 1951 and 1953, and finished as runners up in 1945. Between May 6, 1949 and June 1, 1951, the team went unbeaten in forty-nine matches, of which twenty-three were an unbroken streak of victories.[15]

Young Malmö FF players in the 1960s

The club finished as runners up in Allsvenskan twice more, in 1956 and 1957, before leaving Malmö IP for the newly built Malmö Stadion in 1958. The stadium, built for the 1958 FIFA World Cup, would be the home for the club for the next 50 years. The club started the 1960s with a young team and achieved fairly good league positions. In 1964 Malmö FF contracted Spanish manager Antonio Durán; this was the first step of many that lead to the most successful era in the history of the club. Young talents such as Lars Granström and Bo Larsson emerged during the early 1960s and would prove to be crucial ingredients in the success that would come in the 1970s. The club finished second in 1964 but would go on to win their sixth Swedish Championship in 1965, when Bo Larsson scored an incredible 28 goals to win the goal scorer league. Malmö FF once again won Allsvenskan in 1967, after a less successful year in 1966. Many of the club's young talents, as well as talents bought in from neighbouring clubs in Scania in 1967, became a team that constantly finished in the top three in Allsvenskan.[16]

Successful 1970s, European Cup 1979 and the 1980s

After finishing as runners up for the last two years of the 1960s, Malmö FF started the most successful decade of their history with a Swedish Championship in 1970. In the 1970s the club won Allsvenskan in 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975 and 1977 as well as Svenska Cupen in 1976 and 1978. However the most glorious year of the 1970s for Malmö FF was 1979. The club had qualified for the 1978–79 European Cup by winning Allsvenskan 1977, and after victories against AS Monaco, Dynamo Kiev, Wisla Krakow and Austria Wien, the club reached the final of the competition. The final was played at Olympiastadion in Munich, West Germany (present day Germany) against Nottingham Forest. Trevor Francis scored the only goal of the match winning it 1–0 for Nottingham. Nevertheless the 1979 final is the most significant moment in the history of Malmö FF.[17]

Malmö Stadion, The home stadium for the club between 1958 and 2008

Much of the success during the 1970s was due to new tactics and training methods brought to the club by Englishman Bob Houghton, who managed the club between 1974 and 1980. Eric Persson was succeeded as Chairman in 1974 by Hans Cavalli-Björkman. After a period of respectable positions in the league under the management of Keith Blunt and Tord Grip in the early 1980s, Roy Hodgson took over in 1985. He led the club to two Swedish Championships in 1986 and 1988, even though the club won Allsvenskan five years in a row between 1985 and 1989. This was due to the competition format at the time; between 1982 and 1992 Allsvenskan had play-offs for the best teams after the ordinary season was over. The club reached the play-off final for four years in a row between 1986 and 1989 but only managed to win the final in 1986 and 1988. Nevertheless the 1980s are regarded as a very successful period for Malmö FF. Apart from Allsvenskan, the club won Svenska Cupen in 1984, 1986 and 1989.[18]

Other than finishing as runners up in Allsvenskan in 1996, the 1990s were disappointing, as the club failed to win Allsvenskan and Svenska Cupen throughout the entire decade. The decade ended with relegation from Allsvenskan in 1999, confirming it as the darkest moment in the history of the club. Hans Cavalli-Björkman was succeeded as chairman by Bengt Madsen in 1999, and former player Hasse Borg was contracted as Director of Sport. These operational changes, as well as the emergence of young talent Zlatan Ibrahimović, led to the return to Allsvenskan in 2001. Ibrahimović rose to fame and became an important player in the club's campaign to return to the top league. He was later sold to Ajax in 2001, before playing for Juventus, Internazionale, FC Barcelona and eventually AC Milan in 2010.[19]

Malmö FF have in many ways reflected the multi-cultural nature of the city of Malmö. In 1990, defender Jean-Paul Vondenburg became the first black player playing for the Swedish national football team, in a game against the United Arab Emirates.[20] In 1998, midfielder/striker Yksel Osmanovski became the first Muslim player for Sweden, when Sweden lost 1–0 to the USA.[21]

Start of the 2000s to the present

The return to Allsvenskan was the start of the successful early 2000s when the club finished in the top three three times in a row, and won Allsvenskan in 2004, the club's fifteenth Swedish Championship. Tom Prahl was the manager during these successful years. In 2005 the club were one match away from qualifying for the UEFA Champions League but suffered a shock defeat against FC Thun. The results for the next few years disappointed fans hoping to see the club finishing at the top of the table. Successful sponsor work and player sales also made Malmö FF the richest club in Sweden, a position they still hold.[22][23] The club moved from Malmö Stadion to Swedbank Stadion in 2009, a stadium built entirely for football and located just beside the old one.[24]

At the end of the decade, Bengt Madsen announced that he would step down as Chairman, and was replaced by Håkan Jeppsson in early 2010.[25] In 2010 the club marked their 100th anniversary with many celebratory events at the beginning of the season. On the day of the club's 100th anniversary in 2010, the Swedish football magazine Offside declared Malmö FF to be the greatest football club in Swedish history.[26] The season became a great success as the club won Allsvenskan for the nineteenth time and became Swedish champions for the sixteenth time.[27] Unlike in 2004, these successes were achieved without any major transfers before the season, and with a squad consisting mostly of younger players.[28] The club remain one of the dominant football clubs in Sweden. In the 2010 season the club rank second in the overall Allsvenskan table maratontabellen.[29] Malmö FF are also the record holders for total number of Allsvenskan championships and Svenska Cupen championships, and second only to IFK Göteborg in number of Swedish championships.[30][31]

Colours and crest

1920–
1910–20
1910

The club are often known by the nicknames Di blåe (The Blues) and Himmelsblått (The Sky Blues). This is because of the club colours, light blue and white. The players wear sky blue shirts, white shorts, and sky blue socks. The away colours are red and white striped shirts, black shorts, and black socks.[32]

The club colours have not always been sky blue. The predecessor club BK Idrott wore blue and white striped shirts and white shorts, and this kit was still used for the first six months of 1910 after Malmö FF was founded. This was later changed to red and white striped shirts and black shorts to symbolize that Malmö FF were a new club, and a very similar kit is now used as the away kit for historical reasons. The present sky blue kit was introduced in 1920.[33] Since 2010 a small Scanian flag is featured on the back of the shirt just below the neck.[34]

The crest of Malmö FF consists of a shield with two vertical sky blue fields on the sides, and one vertical white field in the middle. Underneath the shield is "Malmö FF" spelled out in sky blue letters with a sky blue star under the text. In the top area of the shield is a white horizontal field over the three vertical fields. The abbreviation of the club name "MFF" is spelled out with sky blue letters in this field. On top of the shield are five tower like extensions of the white field.[35] The crest made its debut on the shirt in the 1940s.[36]

In modern times a golden star has been added over the shield. This is a feature used only on the crests on player shirts. In the original logo the full club name and sky blue star beneath the shield were not featured. For the 100th anniversary of the club in 2010, the years 1910 and 2010 were featured on each side of the shield on a sky blue ribbon behind the shield.[37]

Supporters

Malmö FF are well known for their large local following, and their fans are widely regarded as some of the most loyal and active in Sweden.[38] Malmö FF have several fan clubs, of which the largest is the official fan club MFF Support. It was founded in 1992. MFF Support describes itself as “an idealistic and non-political association working against violence and racism”.[39] The current Chairman of MFF Support is Ola Solér.[40]

There are also several smaller independent supporter groups. The most prominent of these is Supras Malmö, which was founded in 2003 by a coalition of smaller ultras groups and devoted fans.[41] The name "Supras" is derived from the words supporters and ultras – the latter indicating that the group is inspired by a fan culture with roots in the Mediterranean. Supras Malmö is the most visible group in the main supporter stand at Swedbank Stadion today, marking its presence with banners, flags and choreography. Another group with similar goals is Rex Scania. MFF Tifosi 96 is a network of supporters creating tifos for special occasions and important games.[42] The average attendance for the club's games in the 2010 season was 15,194, the best attendance in Allsvenskan 2010.[43]

Rivals

The main rivals of the club are Helsingborgs IF, IFK Göteborg and IFK Malmö. The rivalry between Malmö FF and Helsingborgs IF has existed since Malmö FF were promoted up to Allsvenskan in the 1930s, and has a geographical element, since both teams are from Scania in southern Sweden. The rivalry with IFK Göteborg relates more to title clashes; the two are the most successful clubs in Swedish football history and the only two to have appeared in European cup finals, IFK Göteborg in the UEFA Cup in 1982 and 1987 and Malmö FF in the European Cup in 1979.[44]

The rivalry with IFK Malmö is both geographical and historical. The two clubs come from the same city and used to play at the same stadium in the early 20th century. The supposed actions of board members of IFK Malmö in 1933, revealing Malmö FF's breaches of amateur football rules to the Swedish Football Association, further contribute to the competitive tensions between the two clubs.[11][12][13] IFK Malmö has not played in Allsvenskan since 1962, thus matches between the two sides are rare.[45]

Minor rivalry because of geographical closeness exists with Trelleborgs FF and Landskrona BoIS, which are both also located in Scania.[44]

Stadiums

Malmö FF's first stadium was Malmö IP, which was shared with arch-rivals IFK Malmö. The team played here from the founding of the club in 1910, until 1958. The stadium still exists today, and is now used by ladies team LdB FC Malmö, who were previously the ladies section of Malmö FF. Present day capacity is 7,600, but attendance was usually much higher when Malmö FF played there. For the last season in 1957, the average attendance was 15,500.[46] The stadium is still considered a key part of the club's history, as it was here that the club were founded, played their first 47 seasons, and won five Swedish championships.[47]

A new stadium had to be constructed in Malmö after Sweden was awarded the 1958 FIFA World Cup – this saw the birth of Malmö Stadion. Malmö FF played their first season at the stadium in 1958. The first time the club won the Swedish championship at the stadium was in 1965.[48] An upper tier was added to the stadium in the '80s, and was completed in 1992.[49] The club enjoyed their most successful era in their history at this stadium, having won ten out of sixteen Swedish championships while based there.[50]

Following the 2004 victory in Allsvenskan, voices were raised for the construction of a new stadium in Malmö. In July 2005, Malmö FF announced that a new stadium was to be constructed – Swedbank Stadion, designed for 18,000 seated spectators and 6,000 standing. Construction started in 2007 and was finished in 2009. The new stadium is located next to Malmö Stadion. Although there was still small-scale construction going on around the stadium at the time, the stadium was inaugurated on 13 April 2009 with the first home game of the 2009 season against Örgryte IS; Malmö FF's Labinot Harbuzi scored the inaugural goal in the 61st minute.[51] The first Swedish championship won at the stadium was in 2010.[52][53]

Malmö FF have been the subject of several films. The most noteworthy examples are Swedish football documentaries "Blådårar 1" and "Blådårar 2", which portray the club from both supporter and player perspectives during the 1997 and 2000 season. Blådårar 1 is set in 1997, when the club finished third in Allsvenskan. The film focuses on devoted fan Lasse, player Anders Andersson, former chairman Hans Cavalli-Björkman and a number of other individuals.[54] Blådårar 2 is set in 2000, the year after the club had been relegated to Superettan, and follows the team as they fight for Malmö FF's return to Allsvenskan.[55] The second film continues to follow Lasse, but also has a significant focus on Zlatan Ibrahimović, his progress and how he was eventually sold to AFC Ajax during the 2001 season. The two films are now seen as classic portrayals of the club.[56]

Malmö FF have been featured in "Mitt Hjärtas Malmö", a series of documentaries covering the history of Malmö. Clips used included match footage from the 1940s (Volume 7), and match footage from the 1979 European Cup Final in Munich from a fan's perspective (Volume 8).[57] Volume 9 of the series is devoted entirely to coverage of the club's 100th anniversary in 2010.[58]

In the Swedish 2005 drama movie "Om Sara", actor Alexander Skarsgård plays the fictional football star Kalle Öberg, who plays for MFF.[59] Finally, a recurring sketch in the second season of the comedy sketch show Hipphipp! involved a group of Malmö FF fans singing and chanting while performing everyday tasks, such as shopping or operating an ATM.[60]
