Dalkurd Fotbollsförening, commonly known as Dalkurd FF or simply Dalkurd (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a Swedish football club based in Uppsala.[1] The club competes in Division 4, the sixth tier of football in the country. On 26 September 2004, the club was originally founded by members of the Kurdish diaspora in Borlänge, Dalarna.

Dalkurd FF holds the record for the lowest average attendances in the history of both Allsvenskan and Superettan, the two highest Swedish leagues. Dalkurd FF is affiliated with Upplands Fotbollförbund.[2]

History

The club was formed in Borlänge in 2004 by a group of Kurds. It started as a social project to contribute to the youth of Borlänge by offering activities for them. IK Brage helped financing the project.[3][4] In the first season the squad consisted of an average age of 17 years. Besides contributing to the youngsters, the chairman, Ramazan Kizil, had high expectations of the football players and an ultimate goal: he wanted to take Dalkurd to the professional levels of the Swedish league.[5] Dalkurd won every division they participated in from their very first season in 2005 to 2009. Owing to this uncommon success they got a lot of media attention, both in Sweden and abroad.

The club narrowly avoided catastrophe when travelling home from Spain in March 2015. The club had initially intended to fly from Barcelona to Düsseldorf on Germanwings Flight 9525, but changed its booking at the last minute when they decided the layover in Germany would be too long.[6] Flight 4U 9525 crashed into the French Alps on 24 March, killing everyone on board.

In October 2017, Dalkurd was promoted to the 2018 Allsvenskan[7] On 24 November 2017, Dalkurd chose to move their senior team operations to Uppsala, some 140 kilometers southeast of Borlänge, to play at the new ground Nya Studenternas IP following its opening in 2020.[1] In the 2018 season, however, Dalkurd played their home games at Gavlevallen in Gävle, some 110 kilometers north of Uppsala (and roughly 110 kilometers east of Borlänge).[8]

The Dalkurd Template:Ill DK Elit was declared bankrupt in August 2024, which made the team being demoted one level at the end of the season; having already been relegated from Division 2 the team ended up in Division 4 for the 2025 season.[9][10]
