IF Älgarna is a Swedish football team from Härnösand currently playing in Division 3 Mellersta Norrland. The club is affiliated to the Ångermanlands Fotbollförbund.[1]

History

In the early years, the club also had a bandy section. IF Älgarna dominated bandy in Västernorrland in the 1920s and 1930s, winning the district championship in this sport in 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, and then again in 1946.[2]

IF Älgarna played at their highest level in Division II, which was then the second tier of Swedish football, in seasons 1953/1954-1954/1955, 1959 and 1960. In 1941 and again in 1952 the club lost the final of the Norrländska championship.
