IFK Göteborg is a Swedish professional football club based in Gothenburg. The club is often referred to simply as IFK, although this can be confusing as there are many other clubs in Sweden whose name has that abbreviation as a prefix. The club, formed on 4 October 1904, has won 17 national championship titles, four national cup titles, and two UEFA Cups. With Malmö FF and AIK, IFK Göteborg are often considered to make up the classic "Big Three" in Swedish club football, with 42 championship titles among them, IFK arguably being the most successful club in Sweden, and perhaps in Scandinavia as well. IFK Göteborg is also the only Swedish team to have won a European cup competition, the UEFA Cup in 1982 and 1987. They are currently playing in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan, where they have played the majority of the seasons during their existence. The last time they played in a lower division was back in 1976.
