Degerfors IF is a Swedish professional football club located in Degerfors. The club, formed 13 January 1907, is currently playing in the highest tier in Swedish football, Allsvenskan.
Being a club in a town with a big iron industry, the club has a lot of left wing fans. In their away game versus GAIS on the 13th of April 2025 the away fans displayed a banner saying “ultra rossoblaco - Against Fascism.” And in 2024 they had another banner saying “no style, just working class”.
Degerfors IF first played in the Allsvenskan in 1939, making use of their new home ground at Stora Valla. Up until 1966, the club regularly appeared in the Allsvenskan; however, in recent decades they have played at the highest level for 5 seasons from 1993 to 1997. Their record attendance is 21,065 spectators when Degerfors IF played IFK Norrköping in 1963.
The club is affiliated to the Värmlands Fotbollförbund. [1]
* League restructuring in 2006 resulted in a new division being created at Tier 3 and subsequent divisions dropping a level. [2] |
