Huddinge IF is a Swedish football club located in Huddinge, a municipality in Stockholm County in east central Sweden. [1]
Huddinge Idrottsförening is the oldest sports club in the municipality. Inspired by the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Otto Hellkvist founded the club the same year. For several decades the club had many sections, including bandy, table tennis, cycling, athletics, and skiing. Today Huddinge IF is purely a football club and is one of the largest in Stockholm with about 1,200 active members and 70 teams. Successful clubs in Huddinge that originated as sections within Huddinge IF before breaking away from the parent club include Huddinge IK (ice hockey) and Huddinge BT (table tennis). [2]

At best, they have played in the third tier, 1970 (when it was called division 3), 1989 and 1996 (when it was called division 2), and 2014-15 (when it was called division 1).

The division 1 season 2014 was a success. A good start of the season, a decline in the middle, and improving towards the end. In the last knock out stage of the 2014-15 Svenska Cupen, the team shocked Åtvidabergs FF, playing in Allsvenskan, with a victory 2–2 at full time, 7–6 after penalty shoout out, and reached the group stage.
The 2015 season started with the group stage of Svenska Cupen, facing BK Häcken (Allsvenskan), Mjällby AIF (Superettan) and Östers IF (Division 1 södra). The home games were played at Skytteholms IP in Solna on the other side of town. The result was probably as expected. Mjällby at home 0–4, Häcken at home 1–3, and Öster away, 0–3. The goal on Häcken was scored by Patrick Amoah.
After a miserable start, Huddinge shaped up towards the end, and had the chance to remain in division 1 in their last game, at home facing league winning Dalkurd FF. They won the game 2–1, giving Dalkurd their only loss in the league, but were still relegated. With a two-goal victory, they would have stayed in division 1.
At least, they have remained in division 2, ever since. They were really close to relegation one year, needing to win their two last games to avoid it, and managed to do so.
