AIK Fotboll
Encyclopedia
AIK, ˈɑː.i.ˈkɔː an abbreviation
for Allmänna Idrottsklubben, (literally "The General Sports Club" or "The Public Sports Club"), when needed internationally AIK Stockholm, is a Swedish football club based at Råsunda stadium in Solna
, a municipality
in Stockholm County
bordering to Stockholm City Centre
. The club was formed in 1891 in central Stockholm
and the football department was formed in 1896.
League champions in 2009, AIK are currently third in the all-time Allsvenskan table. AIK hold the record for being the Swedish club with most seasons in the top flight. The club qualified for the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League group stage
. The club is affiliated to the Stockholms Fotbollförbund
.
in Stockholm
, at the downtown address of Biblioteksgatan 8, the club's full name, "Allmänna Idrottsklubben", translates to "The General Sports Club" or "The Public Sports Club". The name was chosen to reflect that the club was open for everyone, and also that athletics, at the time called "allmän idrott" in Swedish, was considered the club's main sport.
Putting football into practice in 1896
, AIK were runners-up in the championship only two years later, in 1898. AIK won its first Swedish championship title in 1900
, beating Örgryte IS
in the final. In 1901
, AIK won another title, after a walk over win against Örgryte IS team II. At the turn of the century, Swedish league football was dominated by Örgryte, who won ten times between the years 1896 and 1909
. However, in the period of 1898–1901 AIK won the championship twice and were runners-up three times. In 1899 the team faced Djurgårdens IF for the first time. Djurgården was founded in 1891, the same year as AIK, and therefore the games between these teames are commonly known as the tvillingderbyt
(the twin derby), Djurgården is to this day AIK's main rival, and the games attracts huge crowds.
AIK did not participate in the Swedish championships of 1902 and 1903, which meant these were played only with teams from Gothenburg
. In 1902, AIK instead competed in "Svenska bollspelsförbundets tävlingsserie", a league competition open only to clubs from Stockholm. AIK competed with two teams in the first year of the competition, finishing fourth and last. As a result, the weaker AIK side was relegated, making the first team the only one from AIK in the highest division. The competition was played until 1909, with AIK winning it in 1908 and 1909, and was replaced by Svenska Serien
.
Two years after the start of the "tävlingsserie", 1904, twelve teams participated in the championship, one of them being AIK for the first time since winning it. AIK went through to the semi-finals, where they were beaten by arch rivals Djurgårdens IF. In 1905, AIK went just as far, this time being beaten by IFK Stockholm
. AIK competed in the championshiop three times in 1906-1910 without any success, but in 1911 they won the championship for the third time after beating IFK Uppsala
in the final.
After that, AIK were eliminated in the semi-finals of 1912 and 1913 but won the championship once again in 1914. In 1915, AIK were again defeated by arch rivals Djurgården in the semi-finals. In 1916, however, AIK came back and defeated future rivals IFK Göteborg
in the semi-finals, beating Djurgårdens IF with 3-1 in the final. In 1917, Djurgården mirrored AIK's achievement, winning against Göteborg in the semi-finals and then beating AIK with 3-1 in the final. Another couple of years passed by without any success for AIK, until 1923, when they won their sixth title after beating IFK Eskilstuna
in the final.
From the years 1910 to 1924, a championship called "Svenska Serien" was played. AIK didn't win it, but were runners-up a couple of times. The status of this championship status increased in the beginning of the 1920s and it became more important than the Swedish championship.
In 1924, Svenska Serien was replaced by the current highest league, "Allsvenskan
", (officially named "Division I"). The first years, the championship were dominated by teams from Gothenburg (GAIS
, IFK Göteborg och Örgryte IS) and by Hälsingborgs IF
. After some years when AIK finished fourth and fifth and in the middle of the table, AIK won the championship in 1931/32, making it their first Allsvenskan title and their seventh Swedish title.
The football of AIK relocated in 1937 from Stockholms Stadion to Råsunda Fotbollsstadion
in what became Solna
in 1942. This was however only one of the things making the year 1937 a memorable year – AIK won their eighth Swedish title. Olle Zetterlund scored 23 goals during the season, and is to this day the player who have scored the most goals during one season.
After World War II
AIK finished second 1946 and third 1947. However, after these seasons things went downwards for AIK, even though they still attracted big crowds, the 1949/1950 season the club had 21.768 a game, a record which would last until the 21st century.
In June 1951 something happened which would be referred to as "det omöjliga" (the impossible), AIK were relegated to Division II. The last game were against Malmö FF
, who had gone undefeated for 49 games. AIK beat Malmö 1-0, but would have needed an extra goal to ensure a spot in Allsvenskan. This also meant that Lennart "Nacka" Skoglund
left for Inter Milan after having only played 5 games for AIK.
After having won Division II AIK reached allsvenskan the following season. In the middle of the 50's, a new star player came to play for AIK, Kurt "Kurre" Hamrin
. However after he left for Italy
, the club experienced hard times.
In 1962 AIK were again relegated to Division II, but won it and reached allsvenskan the following season. In the early 70's the club were the one considered most likely to win the league, however to closest AIK came to this were a second place in 1971. In 1975 40.669 came to see the derby with Djurgårdens IF, a record that lives on to this day.
In 1979 AIK were relegated to Division II again, but quickly returned to Allsvenskan. This however meant that Malmö FF
advanced to the first place of the All-time Allsvenskan table, a position previously held by AIK.
The Japan Soccer League
chose AIK as the opponent for their all-star team in their first ever all-star game
since their foundation as a league. On 2 December 1965, AIK battled a JSL all-star team to a 2-2 draw.
This year, the top six teams qualified for Mästerskapsserien (the Championship League) where the teams started with half the points gained in the normal season and then met each other twice. AIK played well throughout the spring, dominating and creating lots of chances, but not always being able to convert this to wins. However, AIK were continuously in the top six and ended fourth, starting Mästerskapsserien three points after leaders IFK Norrköping.
After losing to IFK Norrköping straight away, few saw AIK as a contender for the title. After this, however, AIK started to win, and in the last game of the league, away to Malmö FF, a draw would most certainly be enough to win the league title. AIK were fortunate in the first half of the game, scoring two goals from their only two chances. Malmö, on the contrary, had a slew of chances but failed to convert all but one of them. After equalizing on a penalty, Malmö continued to dominate, and even managed to have a ball hit the goal post and bounce off AIK's goalie Bernt Ljung and then back off the goalpost again. Five minutes before full time, Gary Sundgren
scored AIK's title-winning goal, on his twenty fifth birthday and all. AIK were Swedish champions for the first time in 55 years.
The next year, 1993, a regular league system was reinstated. AIK had the same managers as last year, Tommy Söderberg and Thomas Lyth, and much the same squad. The team opened the season brilliantly. After drawing away to IFK Göteborg in the opening game after a late equalizer, AIK won six straight games, most remarkably by 9-3 at home to Brage
, with Kim Bergstrand scoring five. But during the summer, AIK lost ground to IFK Göteborg and IFK Norrköping, who ended up contending for the title. AIK managed, however, to finish third, securing a spot for next year's UEFA Cup.
But first they had to compete in that year's Champions League, which had been created the year before. AIK didn't manage to get past the first round though, losing on aggregate to Sparta Prague.
Even though - or maybe due to the fact that - AIK was the only Stockholm side in the top flight that year, the team had their largest average attendance since the mid-1980s. During the summer, AIK had three home matches in a row with gates exceeding 10 000, something not seen at non-derby games since 1965.
In 1994, AIK aimed to regain the league title with a new manager, Hasse Bagge, and a big signing, Jesper Jansson. Again, AIK started the season marvelously, only losing once in the first thirteen games. But after three straight losses the team parked mid-table and eventually ended sixth, fifteen points behind winners IFK Göteborg.
The year was saved, however, by AIK having their most successful campaign ever so far on the international scene, knocking out Slavia Prague in the second round of the UEFA Cup, but not managing to get past their third round opponents, the then very high-profile AC Parma, with Tomas Brolin
on the side.
After that, the fun was over for that year. AIK lost the cup final, and consequently the opportunity to play European next year. Also, they didn't manage to win a league game in nine rounds, which lead to the team to being close to having to qualify to stay in the league. This year saw the debut of AIK's youngest player and scorer of the 20th century, Alexander Östlund, at 16 years, 10 months and 2 days old. Östlund would play a crucial role for the club four years leater.
In 1995, the season started well once again. After seven games, AIK were at the top of the league, in the Swedish Cup final, and had three players (Dick Lidman, Ola Andersson, Jan Eriksson
) capped for the national team. The club ended the season in a disappointing eight place.
AIK reached the third round where their paths crossed with FC Barcelona, just before the start of the 1997 Allsvenskan season. For the first time ever, Råsunda was sold out in advance, one month prior to the game. The first leg, at Camp Nou, started in the best possible way for AIK with new signing Nebojsa Novakovic
forcing the opposing team's full back to make a weak home pass which Pascal Simpson converted into a goal. The opponents equalized in the very next attack. The match ended 3-1 to Barcelona. In the return game at Råsunda, Ronaldo
scored an early goal for Barcelona, but even though AIK managed to score an equalizer, Barcelona won on aggregate.
AIK were now considered the main contender to IFK Göteborg for the league title that year but finished a disappointing eighth. Yet again, however, AIK won the cup and qualified for the Cup Winners' Cup, but AIK went out in the first round against Slovenian side Primorje.
Among the new faces in 1998 were English manager Stuart Baxter
, goalkeeper Mattias Asper
and defender Olof Mellberg
. Six of the ten first games ended in 1-1 draws. After eight games, new goalkeeper Mattias Asper entered the pitch. With him between the posts AIK didn't lose another game that whole season, moving the team from the bottom of the table to title contenders. In the last game, leaders Helsingborg only had to win against already relegation-bound Häcken, but lost. Alexander Östlund
scored when AIK won 1-0 against Örgryte helping AIK secure their tenth league title.
AIK's average points per match that year was less than one, and AIK scored the least goals of all the teams in Allsvenskan that year. Asper, AIK's back four and defensive central midfielder Johan Mjällby
were much lauded. Mjällby was snapped up by Celtic
and Mellberg was sold to Racing Santander.
1999 was to be AIK's most eventful year of the twentieth century. A slew of players were purchased, among them Andreas Andersson
who was bought from Newcastle for circa 2 million euros, a Swedish record amount at the time.
During the season Mattias Asper kept a clean sheet for a record 19 hours and 17 minutes. AIK were destined for winning the league a second time running, but Helsingborg managed to slip by and win the title, albeit on a goal that should clearly have been disallowed for offside. AIK won all three games against Helingborg that season (two in the league and one in the cup).
The second place in the league was overshadowed by the glory of reaching the Champions League group stage, the first - and only time since - that a Stockholm side had gone this far in the tournament. The last obstacle was Greek side AEK
. After an heroic draw in Athens, AIK beat AEK 1-0 at Råsunda, with Novakovic scoring his most important goal to that point; but more important goals were to come from the Serbian striker in the following group matches.
AIK got the worst possible draw. Every side in AIK's group had the potential of going all the way: Arsenal
, Barcelona
och Fiorentina. In the first game, AIK took the lead against Barcelona after an astonishing goal by Novakovic. But a while later, the referee allowed a Barcelona corner kick to be taken during an AIK substitution, which resulted in a goal for Barcelona. The controversial decision led AIK's manager Stuart Baxter to utter the following words in desperation to the fourth referee: "This isn't the amateur league, this is the fucking Champions League. Please take responsibility." Barcelona scored 2-1 in added time and won the game. The name of the principal referee, Alain Sars, is forever emblazoned in the memory of all AIK fans present or watching the game on TV.
Another promising show was when AIK played Arsenal away, the first time a Swedish club side had ever played at Wembley. The match stood 1-1 in added time, when Arsenal scored two goals, winning 3-1. AIK then managed 0-0 at home against Fiorentina, but lost the last three games in the tournament. Although AIK in total only won one point in the tournament, the team could hold their heads high after all giving three opposing teams in the group a run for their money in the first half of the group stage.
). In late April, manager Mikael Stahre left the club to assume control of the Greek side Panionios
. He was replaced by Scotsman Alex Miller
. The season was, however, beyond rescue, and it was only in the last few matches that AIK, sparked by the arrival of Sierra Leonean striker Mohamed Bangura
managed to rise clear of relegation, to finish in a nonetheless disappointing 11th place. After further post-season managerial turbulence, Alex Miller chose to step down. He was replaced by former AIK player Andreas Alm
.
The 2011 season saw expectations somewhat limited, but halfway through the season AIK hold 3rd place, much attributed to the Sierra Leonean strikers Teteh Bangura
(14 goals in 14 appearances) and Mohamed Bangura
(5 goals) and the solid defense of Alexander Milošević
and Niklas Backman
.
The crest's style is arguably art nouveau
, the predominant style at the turn of the 20th century.
Creator of the crest was Fritz Carlsson-Carling, a runner and football player who won a contest where the award was to design a new crest for AIK. He wanted the crest to convey four basic values: tradition, force, glory and joy.
Tradition is conveyed in the towers of the crest, which are borrowed taken from the coat of arms of Saint Erik, Stockholm's patron saint. Saint Erik's coat of arms has five towers, symbolizing Stockholm's city walls, an indication of AIK's tradition of defending the capital's honour.
Force is represented by the initials A.I.K., strikingly emblazoned diagonally across the crest. There is also an element of nationalism in the crest since the colors are Sweden's national colours: blue and yellow.
Glory and joy are characterized by the sun, referring to ”Sol Invictus”, the "invincible sun". Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing the City of Solna's coat of arms. Solna, today a county of its own, was a part of the City of Stockholm until 1943, i.e. six years after Råsunda Football Stadium was completed and 52 years after AIK was formed in Bibilioteksgatan in Stockholm.
AIK's primary colours are black and yellow. White is the secondary colour.

since their foundation as a league. On 2 December 1965, AIK battled a JSL all-star team to a 2-2 draw.
League champions and European struggles (1992-1996)
A month prior to the start of the 1992 season, AIK presented their worst financial result ever: minus 10 million SEK. Therefore AIK had to be very frugal; no pre-season training camp and no big signings were made to a squad that was deemed week. Two signings proved to be very successful though: Krister Nordin and Dick Lidman.This year, the top six teams qualified for Mästerskapsserien (the Championship League) where the teams started with half the points gained in the normal season and then met each other twice. AIK played well throughout the spring, dominating and creating lots of chances, but not always being able to convert this to wins. However, AIK were continuously in the top six and ended fourth, starting Mästerskapsserien three points after leaders IFK Norrköping.
After losing to IFK Norrköping straight away, few saw AIK as a contender for the title. After this, however, AIK started to win, and in the last game of the league, away to Malmö FF, a draw would most certainly be enough to win the league title. AIK were fortunate in the first half of the game, scoring two goals from their only two chances. Malmö, on the contrary, had a slew of chances but failed to convert all but one of them. After equalizing on a penalty, Malmö continued to dominate, and even managed to have a ball hit the goal post and bounce off AIK's goalie Bernt Ljung and then back off the goalpost again. Five minutes before full time, Gary Sundgren

scored AIK's title-winning goal, on his twenty fifth birthday and all. AIK were Swedish champions for the first time in 55 years.
The next year, 1993, a regular league system was reinstated. AIK had the same managers as last year, Tommy Söderberg and Thomas Lyth, and much the same squad. The team opened the season brilliantly. After drawing away to IFK Göteborg in the opening game after a late equalizer, AIK won six straight games, most remarkably by 9-3 at home to Brage
Brage
Brage may refer to:* Another name for Norse god Bragi* Brage Prize, an annual Norwegian literary award.* IK Brage, a Swedish football club located in Borlänge* Brage oil field, operated by Statoil, located off the coast of Norway...
, with Kim Bergstrand scoring five. But during the summer, AIK lost ground to IFK Göteborg and IFK Norrköping, who ended up contending for the title. AIK managed, however, to finish third, securing a spot for next year's UEFA Cup.
But first they had to compete in that year's Champions League, which had been created the year before. AIK didn't manage to get past the first round though, losing on aggregate to Sparta Prague.
Even though - or maybe due to the fact that - AIK was the only Stockholm side in the top flight that year, the team had their largest average attendance since the mid-1980s. During the summer, AIK had three home matches in a row with gates exceeding 10 000, something not seen at non-derby games since 1965.
In 1994, AIK aimed to regain the league title with a new manager, Hasse Bagge, and a big signing, Jesper Jansson. Again, AIK started the season marvelously, only losing once in the first thirteen games. But after three straight losses the team parked mid-table and eventually ended sixth, fifteen points behind winners IFK Göteborg.
The year was saved, however, by AIK having their most successful campaign ever so far on the international scene, knocking out Slavia Prague in the second round of the UEFA Cup, but not managing to get past their third round opponents, the then very high-profile AC Parma, with Tomas Brolin

on the side.
After that, the fun was over for that year. AIK lost the cup final, and consequently the opportunity to play European next year. Also, they didn't manage to win a league game in nine rounds, which lead to the team to being close to having to qualify to stay in the league. This year saw the debut of AIK's youngest player and scorer of the 20th century, Alexander Östlund, at 16 years, 10 months and 2 days old. Östlund would play a crucial role for the club four years leater.
In 1995, the season started well once again. After seven games, AIK were at the top of the league, in the Swedish Cup final, and had three players (Dick Lidman, Ola Andersson, Jan Eriksson

) capped for the national team. The club ended the season in a disappointing eight place.
End-of-the-century glory (1996–1999)
In 1996, Erik Hamrén took the reins as sole manager, after co-managing the team alongside Hasse Backe the year before. The year started like the previous year ended, with AIK playing well but being rewarded by few or no points. After seven rounds with five losses, AIK were second last in the league. But then things changed. After a year of being unfortunate, most things went AIK's way during the summer and autumn, including a 6–-0 win against IFK Göteborg. After only losing one came during the autumn, AIK finished fourth. The team also won the cup, which meant qualifying for the Cup Winners' Cup.AIK reached the third round where their paths crossed with FC Barcelona, just before the start of the 1997 Allsvenskan season. For the first time ever, Råsunda was sold out in advance, one month prior to the game. The first leg, at Camp Nou, started in the best possible way for AIK with new signing Nebojsa Novakovic

scored an early goal for Barcelona, but even though AIK managed to score an equalizer, Barcelona won on aggregate.
AIK were now considered the main contender to IFK Göteborg for the league title that year but finished a disappointing eighth. Yet again, however, AIK won the cup and qualified for the Cup Winners' Cup, but AIK went out in the first round against Slovenian side Primorje.

who was bought from Newcastle for circa 2 million euros, a Swedish record amount at the time.
During the season Mattias Asper kept a clean sheet for a record 19 hours and 17 minutes. AIK were destined for winning the league a second time running, but Helsingborg managed to slip by and win the title, albeit on a goal that should clearly have been disallowed for offside. AIK won all three games against Helingborg that season (two in the league and one in the cup).
The second place in the league was overshadowed by the glory of reaching the Champions League group stage, the first - and only time since - that a Stockholm side had gone this far in the tournament. The last obstacle was Greek side AEK

och Fiorentina. In the first game, AIK took the lead against Barcelona after an astonishing goal by Novakovic. But a while later, the referee allowed a Barcelona corner kick to be taken during an AIK substitution, which resulted in a goal for Barcelona. The controversial decision led AIK's manager Stuart Baxter to utter the following words in desperation to the fourth referee: "This isn't the amateur league, this is the fucking Champions League. Please take responsibility." Barcelona scored 2-1 in added time and won the game. The name of the principal referee, Alain Sars, is forever emblazoned in the memory of all AIK fans present or watching the game on TV.
Another promising show was when AIK played Arsenal away, the first time a Swedish club side had ever played at Wembley. The match stood 1-1 in added time, when Arsenal scored two goals, winning 3-1. AIK then managed 0-0 at home against Fiorentina, but lost the last three games in the tournament. Although AIK in total only won one point in the tournament, the team could hold their heads high after all giving three opposing teams in the group a run for their money in the first half of the group stage.

Crest and colours

, the predominant style at the turn of the 20th century.
Creator of the crest was Fritz Carlsson-Carling, a runner and football player who won a contest where the award was to design a new crest for AIK. He wanted the crest to convey four basic values: tradition, force, glory and joy.
Tradition is conveyed in the towers of the crest, which are borrowed taken from the coat of arms of Saint Erik, Stockholm's patron saint. Saint Erik's coat of arms has five towers, symbolizing Stockholm's city walls, an indication of AIK's tradition of defending the capital's honour.
Force is represented by the initials A.I.K., strikingly emblazoned diagonally across the crest. There is also an element of nationalism in the crest since the colors are Sweden's national colours: blue and yellow.
Glory and joy are characterized by the sun, referring to ”Sol Invictus”, the "invincible sun". Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing the City of Solna's coat of arms. Solna, today a county of its own, was a part of the City of Stockholm until 1943, i.e. six years after Råsunda Football Stadium was completed and 52 years after AIK was formed in Bibilioteksgatan in Stockholm.
AIK's primary colours are black and yellow. White is the secondary colour.
