An association football team poses for a formative black-and-white photograph. A row of five men are kneeling on the pitch, all wearing light-coloured shirts and white shorts apart from the player in the centre, who wears black. In front of him is a large trophy shield. Behind the kneeling row stand six more men, all wearing the same light-coloured shirts. The players are noticeably tired; large sweat stains are visible on their shirts. A stand of a stadium can be seen in the background.

Malmö Fotbollförening, also known simply as Malmö FF, is a Swedish professional association football club based in Malmö. The club is affiliated with Skånes Fotbollförbund (the Scanian Football Association), and plays its home games at Stadion.[2] Formed on 24 February 1910, Malmö FF is the most successful club in Sweden in terms of trophies won.[3] The club have won the most Swedish championship titles of any club with twenty, a record twenty-three league titles, and a record fourteen national cup titles.[4][A] The team competes in Allsvenskan as of the 2018 season, the club's 18th consecutive season in the top flight, and their 83rd overall. The main rivals of the club are Helsingborgs IF, IFK Göteborg and, historically, IFK Malmö.[6]

This list encompasses the major honours won by Malmö FF and records set by the club, their managers and their players. The player records section includes details of the club's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions.

Honors

[edit]

Malmö FF's first trophy was the Division 2 Sydsvenska Serien, which they won in the 1920–21 season.[9] Their first national senior honour came first in 1944, when they won the 1943–44 Allsvenskan title. The club also won Svenska Cupen for the first time the same year. In terms of the number of trophies won, the 1970s was Malmö FF's most successful decade, during which time they won five league titles and four cup titles.[3]

The club currently holds the record for most Swedish championships with 22, most Allsvenskan titles with 25, most Svenska Cupen titles with 15, and the record for the most Svenska Cupen final appearances with eighteen.[3] They also became the first and, as of 2017, the only Swedish club to reach the final of the European Cup (present day UEFA Champions League) in 1979. Malmö FF is also the only Nordic club to have been represented at the Intercontinental Cup (succeeded by FIFA Club World Cup) in which they competed for the 1979 title.[10] Their most recent major trophy came in October 2016, when they won their most recent Allsvenskan title.[3]

Behind the seated row stand seven more men, all but one of whom are wearing the same light-coloured shirts. The exception is a gentleman standing at the end of the row on the viewer's right, who wears a dark double-breasted suit, tie and wide-brimmed fedora hat. All of those present have their arms folded apart from the man in the suit, whose hands are behind his back. In the background a set of goalposts can be seen.

Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b The title of "Swedish Champions" has been awarded to the winner of four different competitions over the years. Between 1896 and 1925 the title was awarded to the winner of Svenska Mästerskapet, a stand-alone cup tournament. No club were given the title between 1926 and 1930 even though the first-tier league Allsvenskan was played. In 1931 the title was reinstated and awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan. Between 1982 and 1990 a play-off in cup format was held at the end of the league season to decide the champions. After the play-off format in 1991 and 1992 the title was decided by the winner of Mästerskapsserien, an additional league after the end of Allsvenskan. Since the 1993 season the title has once again been awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan.[5]
