History[]

IFK Göteborg fielded a women's team in the late 1910s, and the first women's match in Gothenburg was played between IFK Göteborg and a combination team in 1918, even though it was more of a frivolous exhibition match than anything else.[1] Plans to merge with Jitex BK to establish a women's team were set in motion in the 1970s, but never materialised.[2] Activities and teams for girls were finally added to the IFK Göteborg Academy programme in 2007,[3] and at an extra general meeting of IFK Göteborg in 2019, the club members voted to create a senior women's team,[4] which administratively remains part of the academy.[5]

The team started the 2020 season on the lowest level of the league pyramid with a long-term ambition of reaching the highest league, Damallsvenskan, within seven years, a previous cooperation with the senior team of Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC was ended as of this.[4][5] The squad was mainly composed of players from the under-15 team of 2019.[5] The extra general meeting also decided that the team would create its own organisation within the IFK Göteborg alliance organisation at latest on 1 January 2022.[4]

The first competitive match of the team was played on 24 June 2020 against , the 6–0 victory was live-streamed by the regional newspaper Göteborgs-Posten.[6] The run-up to the match was covered in an article in the well-respected Swedish football magazine Offside, written by a journalist playing for Ösets BK.[7] As most players were relatively young, the team also competed in a youth league, as well as in the under-17 national championships.[8] The team won their under-15 league twice in a row the previous years,[5] and the immediate goal for 2020 was to advance to Division 3,[8] a goal the team managed to meet by finishing second in the league, clinching a promotion spot.[9] No major changes to the squad were planned for the 2021 season,[9] and the original decision to split the women's team from the organisation by 2022 was undone by a counter-decision taken at the 2021 annual general meeting.[10]

Stadiums[]

The home ground of the team is Prioritet Serneke Arena,[8] a multi-sport complex in the district of which includes a full-size indoor football pitch with an attendance capacity of around 3,000.[11] Planning for the 2021 season include moving to the outdoor stadium Valhalla IP.[9]
