For other sections of the club, see IFK Norrköping (disambiguation).IFK Norrköping is a Swedish football club based in Norrköping. The club, formed on 29 May 1897, is currently playing in the first division of Swedish football, Allsvenskan. The most successful period of the club was in the 1940s under the Hungarian coach Lajos Czeizler (1942–1948), with the players Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Liedholm.
Norrköping dominated Swedish football in the post war era and won the first division 11 times in 20 glorious years culminating in the league triumph of 1963. It took the club another 26 years before adding championship title number 12 to the trophy cabinet.
Norrköping had a fierce rivalry with the other local club, IK Sleipner, something that has been forgotten since Sleipner's fall from the higher divisions. The main rivals today is mainly fellow Östergötland club Åtvidabergs FF and geographically close Örebro SK.
The club is affiliated to the Östergötlands Fotbollförbund.[1]

Footnotes
- A. ^ The title of "Swedish Champions" has been awarded to the winner of four different competitions over the years. Between 1896 and 1925 the title was awarded to the winner of Svenska Mästerskapet, a stand-alone cup tournament. No club were given the title between 1926 and 1930 even though the first-tier league Allsvenskan was played. In 1931 the title was reinstated and awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan. Between 1982 and 1990 a play-off in cup format was held at the end of the league season to decide the champions. After the play-off format in 1991 and 1992 the title was decided by the winner of Mästerskapsserien, an additional league after the end of Allsvenskan. Since the 1993 season the title has once again been awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan.[2]
