Djurgårdens Idrottsförening, commonly known simply as Djurgårdens IF, Djurgården (Шаблон:IPA-sv), and (especially locally) Djurgår'n (Шаблон:IPA-sv), Dif or DIFШаблон:Efn-ua – is a Swedish sports association with several sections, located in Stockholm.
Name
The club is named after the City Park and borough Djurgården, which originally was a royal hunting park. A direct translation of Djurgården would be “the animal garden” or "the animal yard". The word djur means "animal" but has the same etymology as the word “deer”, meaning "deer garden" may have been its original meaning.
History
The club was founded in 1891 by a group of young athletes living in the borough and port district Djurgårdsstaden on Djurgården in central Stockholm. Most of the founders were from the shipping industry working class, and Djurgården maintained that profile for most of its early history, in sharp contrast with middle class rivals AIK.[1] With an original focus on winter sports and athletics, the club quickly branched into other sports, becoming one of Sweden's most successful sports clubs of the 20th and 21st century.[2] The club started playing association football in 1899 and soon started a derby rivalry with neighbouring club AIK,[3] the so-called tvillingderbyt.
Today the most popular sections are ice hockey and football, with 16 and 12 Swedish national championship titles respectively. Other popular sections are bandy, handball and floorball. The club has won 470 Swedish championships in 25 different sports through 2023, with this Djurgården is the most successful sports club in Sweden, it is also more championship titles than the two main rivals AIK and Hammarby have together.[4]
Emblem and colours
The first emblem of the club was a four-pointed silver star in saltire, which had a shield on it with the letters DIF. This star pre-dates the similar star which Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna adopted and is using to this day. The present emblem, in the form of a shield in yellow, red and blue with the text D.I.F. was adopted in 1896. According to an often-quoted poem by Johan af Klercker from 1908, blue and yellow stand for Sweden and red stands for love.[5] Blue and yellow are also the colours of Stockholm and yellow, red and blue are the colors of the arms of Stockholm County.
Yellow, red and blue are the club colours. The logo is registered as a trademark and the colours are set to Pantone, CMYK and web colour values.[6][7] In many sports – among them football, bandy and handball – the home jersey of the team is vertically striped in light and dark blue. Because of this, blue is usually seen as the most important of the three colours.[8] The ice hockey team uses jerseys in one blue shade with yellow and red details.[9]

Fans and fan culture
Djurgården is one of the most supported clubs in Sweden, with most of its supporters living in Stockholm and the neighbouring suburbs.[12] While other Stockholm clubs have profiled themselves as belonging to a certain borough of Stockholm, Djurgården is seen as more of a pan-Stockholm club. No reliable research exists about the spread of Djurgården supporters, but a 2015 T-shirt campaign suggests that supporters are spread fairly evenly throughout the Stockholm area.[13]
In 1981 the main supporter club "Blue Saints" was formed, but due to its notorious fans and their bad reputation, the supporter club changed its name to Järnkaminerna, literally "The Iron Furnaces" (an old nickname for Djurgården athletes from the 1950s). Since 2005, Fabriken is Djurgården's TIFO group; they have two ultras groups: UCS (Ultra caos Stockholm) and Ultras Sthlm.Шаблон:Citation needed
Djurgården is probably one of a few clubs in the world who is represented both in space (by Christer Fuglesang)[14] and in the Himalayas (by Raul Helander).[15]
Through the years, many types of souvenirs and memorabilia has been made for the club. Stuffed toys in the form of a rabbit called Järnkanin ("Iron Rabbit") are sold, the name a pun on the word Järnkamin.
Club beers
Шаблон:AnchorA couple of beers have been created over the years. At present, Alberget 4A is sold for Djurgårdens IF. It is named for the address of the café where the club was founded. The beer was launched in 2013 and is sold through Djurgårdshjälpen, a supporter initiative to raise money for the sports club. Originally, the beer was called Alltid oavsett[16] ("always, no matter what"), which is a slogan often used by supporters of Djurgårdens IF. The beer is a pale lager of 5.0% abv made by Grebbestad Bryggeri on behalf of Djurgårdshjälpen and is not part of Grebbestad Bryggeri's own range of beers.[17]
