Background

edit

Sillhövda Allmänna Idrottsklubb (abbreviated SAIK) was founded on 28 December 1967 following the merger of the Saleboda IF and Holmsjö IF clubs. Activities other than football were table tennis and winter sports. Over the years the club has progressed both on and off the field. A long cherished dream came true in 1990 with the provision of a clubhouse.[2]

Since their foundation Sillhövda AIK has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club currently plays in Division 3 Sydöstra Götaland which is the fifth tier of Swedish football.[3] They play their home matches at the Bredasjön in Holmsjö.[4] 2016 Sillhövda AIK decided to pay the pay out clause on Anton Alexandersson to get him back from Karlskrona UF. Later that year he got the club promoted and got a huge bonus from one of their sponsors Alexanderssons Maskinsnickeri AB around £10.

Sillhövda AIK are affiliated to Blekinge Fotbollförbund.[5]
