About Helsingborgs
Helsingborgs IF are one of Swedish football's most successful and celebrated clubs, with a history stretching back to 1907. Based in Helsingborg in southern Sweden, they are the professional club where Henrik Larsson first made his name, playing for HIF before his moves to Feyenoord and Celtic brought him to global attention. With multiple Allsvenskan titles across their history, Helsingborgs are embedded in the fabric of Swedish football and a source of enormous pride on the Oresund strait.
Founded in 1907, Helsingborgs play at Olympia in Helsingborg and have won the Allsvenskan on multiple occasions, with titles stretching across different eras of Swedish football and a most recent championship in 2011. Blue and white are the club's colours, worn with pride in a city that has long produced outstanding footballers.
The blue and white of HIF has been worn by some of Swedish football's greatest names. The kits from the era when Henrik Larsson wore the shirt in the early 1990s carry particular nostalgic weight, as does the period of sustained success in the 1990s and 2000s that brought European football to Helsingborg. The championship kits of 2011 remain popular among supporters, marking the most recent high watermark of a club with a history that demands to be celebrated.
