AIK

AIK is an Swedish sports club based in Solna, north of Stockholm.

AIK is short for Allmänna Idrottsklubben which roughly translated means 'The Public/Common Sports Club'. The name refers to the fundamental idea that the club should be open for everyone but also to the clubs practicing of 'common' sports i.e. athletics.

Nowadays AIK's main sport is football/soccer but the club is also represented in ice hockey, bandy, floorball and bowling.

AIK was originally founded in Stockholm 1891 by Isidor Behrens[?] but the club relocated to Solna in 1937. Football was put into practice 1896 and AIK enjoyed its first title four years later.

AIK's (football)arena is Råsunda Fotbollstadion[?] with a capacity of ~35.000.
