The Swedish Football Association (Svenska Fotbollförbundet, commonly abbreviated as SvFF) is the national governing body for football in Sweden. Founded on 18 December 1904, it is Sweden’s largest specialised sports federation and is responsible for promoting, administering and developing football throughout the country. SvFF governs the national football structure and represents Swedish football internationally through its membership of FIFA and UEFA. The association also works within Sweden’s wider sports movement through its connection with the Swedish Sports Confederation. SvFF is responsible for organising and regulating football competitions across Sweden through its 24 district football associations and affiliated clubs. The federation oversees both elite and grassroots football and seeks to maintain a strong connection between the professional game and participation football. According to its latest published figures, Swedish football includes 2,846 clubs and 390,287 registered players aged over 12, including 110,930 women. Swedish futsal also has more than 160,000 registered players aged over 12. A major responsibility of the Swedish Football Association is the management and development of Sweden’s national teams. This includes the men's and women's senior national teams as well as youth national teams and other representative sides. The federation also develops coaching and referee education, supports clubs and football organisations, works on player development and promotes safe, inclusive and sustainable football environments. Sweden has a long-standing international football tradition, and the association has been involved in FIFA since the early development of the organisation. Sweden was among the seven nations involved in the creation of FIFA in 1904, although the present Swedish Football Association was founded later that same year and represented Sweden within FIFA from 1907. The association's national teams have achieved notable international success. The women's national team has won the UEFA Women's European Championship and has reached several World Cup and Olympic finals, while the men's national team has a long history of World Cup participation and famously finished third at the 1994 FIFA World Cup. SvFF is headquartered in Solna, Stockholm, at Box 1216, 171 23 Solna. Its main national stadium is Strawberry Arena in Solna. The federation's current organisational structure includes its elected board, specialist committees and professional departments responsible for football operations, competitions, national teams, communications, development and administration.
