Allmänna Idrottsklubben, usually called AIK, located in
Solna, just north of
Stockholm, is one of the oldest and largest
sports associations in
Sweden. Founded in
1891 by
Isidor Behrens in
Stockholm, at the downtown address of Biblioteksgatan 8, the association has spawned numerous separate departments in different sports such as
football,
floorball,
ice hockey,
bandy,
golf and
handball. AIK is an abbreviation for "Allmänna Idrottsklubben", which in direct translation means "The general sports club". The name was chosen to indicate that the club was open for everyone and also that one of the main events was to be athletics, at that time called "allmän idrott" in Swedish.
[1] AIK is the only sports association that has won the Swedish championship in all the five big Swedish team-sports (
football,
ice hockey,
bandy,
handball and
floorball).
