Ängby IF is a Swedish football club located in Ängby, a western suburb of Stockholm.[1]
Background[edit]
Ängby Idrottsförening was formed on Friday 5 May 1932. In 1947 Ängby IP was opened with more than 2,000 people in attendance at the sports ground and about 500 participants taking part in athletic competitions, folk dance, handball, gymnastics display and finally a football match between Ängby and Bromsten II. The club has been active in a variety of sports over the years including football, bandy, ice-hockey and athletics.[2]
Since their foundation Ängby IF has participated mainly in the middle divisions of the Swedish football league system. In 2016 the club won the Division 4 Stockholm Mellersta League which is the sixth tier of Swedish football [3] and in 2017 will play in division 3. The club play their home matches at Ängby IP in Stockholm.[4]
Ängby IF are affiliated to Stockholms Fotbollförbund.[5]
The move from the big city to Ängby began in the autumn of 1931 and thus created the conditions for a sports association. In the spring of 1932, some young people interested in sports collected money for a football and started playing improvised football matches in Karsvik's pasture - historic land in several senses. They set provisional goals and invited other teams to friendly matches. Shortly afterwards, the time was considered ripe to form the current association, Ängby IF, which also took place on Friday 5 May 1932. [2]
Ängby Idrottsplats has been the club's home ground since 1947. The club offers a wide range of activities for children and young people and has about 60 teams in league games in football and almost 30 teams in league games in floorball. The club's representative team in football, men, plays in division 4 (2021)
