Fans

[edit]

Being a club in a town with a big iron industry, the club has a lot of left wing fans. In their away game versus GAIS on the 13th of April 2025 the away fans displayed a banner saying “ultra rossoblaco - Against Fascism.” And in 2024 they had another banner saying “no style, just working class”.

Background

[edit]

Degerfors IF first played in the Allsvenskan in 1939, making use of their new home ground at Stora Valla. Up until 1966, the club regularly appeared in the Allsvenskan; however, in recent decades they have played at the highest level for 5 seasons from 1993 to 1997. Their record attendance is 21,065 spectators when Degerfors IF played IFK Norrköping in 1963.
