History

IF Karlstad Fotboll (commonly known as KF or SvartBlå) is a Swedish football club based in Karlstad, Värmland County. The club competes in Ettan Norra, the third tier of Swedish football. The club was formed in its current structure on 25 November 2019, when Karlstad BK — whose football history dates to 1923 — and Carlstad United BK merged to create a unified organisation representing over a century of combined football tradition in Karlstad. The club operates a SEF-certified academy ranked among the top 30 in Sweden, a women's team competing in Division 1 Mellersta with ambitions towards the professional Elitettan, and one of Värmland's most active business partner networks.
