History and achievements
IF Elfsborg (its full name is Idrottsföreningen Elfsborg) is a football club in Sweden. Initially the club was named Borås Fotbollslag, when it was founded in 1904, and in 1906 their name was changed to IF Elfsborg. In 1926 the team won promotion to Allsvenskan thus they made their debut in the top division. The team won their first champion title in 1936, then claimed two more victories in 1939 and 1940.
In 1941 IF Elfsborg moved to a new stadium, Ryavallen, but the end of 1940s was of poor results that ended in relegation in 1954. The promotion came in 1960 and the following season IF Elfsborg claimed Allsvenskan victory.
Between 1987 and 1997 the team competed in the second division, then promoted and claimed the Sweden Cup wins in 2001 and 2003. In mid-2000s money injections helped the club to buy their former players, in 2005 a new stadium was constructed, Borås Arena, and in 2006 IF Elfsborg claimed Allsvenskan title. That victory provided the team to compete in the Champions League qualifying stage and they advanced to the group stage of the UEFA Cup.
Since then their performance improved and they competed in four consecutive European tournaments. In 2008 they were league runners-up and won the UEFA Intertoto Cup. IF Elfsborg were the domestic league winners in 2012.
Borås Arena, where the team play home matches, is of 17,800 seats.
