The football section was established in 1907.
===History===
[[Image:Bollis.jpg|thumb|[[Töölön Pallokenttä]]]]
Idrotts Föreningen Kamraterna i Helsingfors was formed on the 15 of October in 1897 by Georges Doubitsky, a 15-year old student at the Svenska Reallyceum school in Helsinki. In those early years the club specialised in [[Athletics (track and field)|athletics]], [[football (soccer)|football]] and [[bandy]]. The football section was established in 1907, the same year that the [[Football Association of Finland]] was founded. The first football match played HIFK was at the Kaisaniemi ground on 17 May 1908 where the new team lost 1-2 to Unitas.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.hifksoccer.fi/index.php?k=13088|title= HIFK Soccer - Historia |format= |work= |accessdate=2010-07-21}}</ref>

In those early years HIFK were runners-up in the Mestaruussarja (then played as a cup competition) on 5 occasions in 1909, 1912, 1928 and 1929. In addition in 1912 the Finnish Football team at the Stockholm Olympics comprised a team of HIFK players.

HIFK won their first Finnish championship (Mestaruussarja) in [[Mestaruussarja 1930|1930]] a feat that they were to repeat on three other occasions in [[Mestaruussarja 1931|1931]], [[Mestaruussarja 1933|1933]] and [[Mestaruussarja 1937|1937]] in a tremendous decade for the club. HIFK also won the Mestaruussarja in [[Mestaruussarja 1947|1947]], [[Mestaruussarja 1959|1959]] and [[Mestaruussarja 1961|1961]]. In total HIFK won the Finnish championship on 7 occasions.

HIFK was one of the most successful football sides in Finland until the early 1970s when the team were relegated from the Mestaruussarja (Finnish Premier League). After 1972 the team has not managed to return to the Finnish top flight, and have even played in the [[Nelonen (soccer league)|Nelonen]] (Fourth Division), the fifth tier of the [[Finnish football league system]], in 1980-83 and 2003-05.

In total since 1930 HIFK have played 29 seasons in the Mestaruussarja (the top tier), 18 seasons in the second tier and 18 seasons in the third tier. Their best spell in recent decades was from 1999 to 2002 when the club participated in the [[Ykkönen]] (First Division).<ref>{{cite news |title=Finland - Divisional Movements 1930-2011 |publisher=RSSSF Archives |year=2011 |url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesf/finall.html |accessdate=2011-09-22}}</ref> However, the club overstretched themselves which resulted in the withdrawal from the Ykkönen at the end of the 2002 season and taking the place of the second team in the [[Nelonen (soccer league)|Nelonen]] (Fourth Division) in 2003. However, in recent years HIFK have made great progress and returned to [[Ykkönen]] (First Division), the second tier of [[Finnish football league system|Finnish football]] for seasons 2011 and 2012.

HIFK participated in the [[European Cup]] in the 1960-1961 and 1962-1963 seasons and played in the [[UEFA cup]] in 1971-1972.

===European Campaigns===

HIFK participated in the [[European Cup]] in the 1960-1961 and 1962-1963 seasons and played in the [[UEFA cup]] in 1971-1972.
