Background

Norrvalla Fotbollförening was founded in 1996 after several meetings between representatives from the Vörå IF, Oravais IF, Maxmo Sportklubb and Hellnäs Bollklubb clubs. The idea was to create an organisation specialising in football.[1]

The formal decision to found the club was finally made at a meeting held on 24 November 1996. A business plan was approved with the following objectives for 1997:

- To achieve an efficient organization
- To create their own identity so that all might know: "This is my football club"
- To create a working relationship with the parent clubs
- To create a sustainable economy for the new club
- On a sporting basis to create a solid platform to stand on for the coming year[2]

Over the years the club has achieved these initial goals although many challenges remain. Norrvalla FF has its base at the Norrvalla Folkhälsans Rehabilitation Centre, where the bulk of training takes place, especially during winter, spring and autumn. Matches are played on artificial turf.[3]

In their early years Norrvalla FF played in the lower levels of Finnish football. They played 3 seasons in the third tier, the Kakkonen (Second Division), in 2007 to 2009.[4] However the 2009 season ended in disappointment when they were relegated back to the Kolmonen (Third Division).
