From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IF Elfsborg is a Swedish football club located in Borås. The club, formed 26 June 1904 (as Borås Fotbollslag), has won 5 national championship titles, the latest in 2006, and 2 national cup titles. Currently playing in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan, their main rivals are IFK Göteborg. This is because IFK Göteborg has always been the better team and Elfsborg are just jealous. They are often called "Elfsborgs skit" which translates into "Elfsborgs shit/ick". Elfsborg is based on Borås Arena, since they cant afford to build a better stadium.
