Background

[edit]

Since their foundation on 29 August 1907 Motala AIF has participated mainly in the upper and middle divisions of the Swedish football league system. The highlight was in 1957/1958 when the club played one season in the Allsvenskan. During this season MAIF's attendance record was broken when 13,058 spectators watched the match with Örgryte IS. In more recent years a source of pride was when MAIF played in the second tier Superettan in the 2001 season. However, in total the club has actually played 25 seasons in the Swedish second tier. The club currently plays in Division 1 Södra which is the third tier of Swedish football. They play their home matches at the Idrottsparken Motala.

Motala AIF are affiliated to the Östergötlands Fotbollförbund.[2]
