About IK Sirius

IK Sirius Fotboll is a Swedish football club based in Uppsala, founded in 1907. It is part of the larger multi-sport club IK Sirius, which originally included several sports such as bandy and athletics before football became its main focus. The team plays its home matches at Studenternas IP and is known for its blue and black colours, with a strong local identity in the city of Uppsala.

The club has a long and fluctuating history in the Swedish football league system. Its early major achievement came in 1924 when Sirius reached the final of Svenska Mästerskapet, the national championship at the time, where it lost to Fässbergs IF. Sirius first reached Allsvenskan in 1968 but was relegated after just one season, and later had additional short spells in the top division during the 1970s. After that, the club spent many years moving between the second, third, and even lower divisions.

In modern times, IK Sirius experienced a steady rise back to the top level. After returning to Superettan and winning promotion in 2016, the club re-established itself in Allsvenskan from 2017 onward. Since then, Sirius has become a stable top-flight team in Sweden, known for developing players, playing an attacking style, and gradually improving its league performances while aiming to establish itself among the stronger clubs in the country.
