Oldest football clubs in the Nordic countries[edit]

This is a list of sports clubs in the Nordic countries that started playing football before the 20th century. Sports clubs founded during that time but that did not start playing football until later are not included.

History[edit]

The first match between Danish clubs played by the association football rules took place in 1887,[1] and first match between Swedish clubs took place in 1892.[2] Before that, all clubs played by other rules, many of the Swedish clubs played by the Swedish football rules.[3]

Key[edit]

Type of earliest known football activity
F The date of foundation of the club (if founded with football on the programme)
S The date of creation of a football section of the club (if not founded with football on the programme)
G The date of the first known played game (training, exhibition or competition) of a club
M The date of a media report on the club (mentioning any football activity)

The earliest possible date is displayed if dates for two or more of the above activities are known. If two or more dates for the above activities are known, but with varying levels of precision, the more specific date is displayed unless the less specific date is clearly earlier in time ("11 November 1876" is displayed rather than "1876", but "October 1876" is displayed rather than "11 November 1876").
