History

Sala FF was formed in December 1972 after IF Norden and IFK Sala merged.[4]

In 1983, the club won promotion to Division 3 (tier 5) for the first time, but they were relegated the following season after finishing the campaign with 14 straight defeats.

They returned to the fifth tier in 1994, under the managerial guidance of Tommy Carlsson.

They remained in the division, and in 1995 they faced Heby AIF, from the neighbouring town, for the first time in the league. Sala finished the season in fourth; Heby were seventh.

In 1996, Heby finished fifth, one place higher than Sala (then managed by Rolf Stahn).

For the 1997 season, Sala was moved to Division 3 in Södra Norrland. They were relegated under new manager Thomas Johansson.

They later dropped another level, to tier 6, before winning promotion, with manager Tony Mattsson, to the fifth tier in 2012, where they have remained to date.[4]
