Seasons

2013

In 2013, FC Linköping City immediately put up the goal to win Division 3 and get promoted to Division 2. The start of the season started out promising, and the club had seven consecutive wins before drawing 3–3 away against Linghems SK. This seven game winning streak is even more remarkable because only two out of seven games were at home. When Division 3 reached its summer break, the club had a five-point lead with a 9 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss record, and nine games left at home and only two games left away. The second part of the season was even more impressing when they won all remaining eleven matches and saw the lead grow to the final 22 points ahead of second placed team, IF Haga. This meant promotion to Division 2 (tier 4 of Swedish football) and a good start for the newly built club.

2014
