About IK Brage

IK Brage is a Swedish football club based in Borlänge, founded on 6 February 1925. The club emerged from earlier local teams and was named after Bragi, a figure from Norse mythology. It plays its home matches at Domnarvsvallen and traditionally wears green and white. The club is an important part of football in the Dalarna region and has built a strong local identity over the decades.

IK Brage first reached the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan, in the 1937–38 season and has spent a total of around 18 seasons in the top division. The club experienced its most successful period in the 1980s, when it established itself as a solid Allsvenskan team, reached the Svenska Cupen final in 1980, and also participated in European competitions such as the UEFA Cup. This era is widely considered the peak of the club’s sporting success.

After relegation from Allsvenskan in 1993, Brage spent many years moving between lower divisions, including spells in both the third and fourth tiers of Swedish football. In the 2000s and 2010s, the club worked its way back up and re-established itself in Superettan, Sweden’s second tier, where it continues to compete today. In modern times, IK Brage is seen as a stable second-division club with ambitions to return to the top level, supported by a loyal fan base and a focus on rebuilding competitive squads.
