Dalkurd FF is a Kurdish-Swedish football club, formed in 2004 and located in Borlänge, Sweden. The club started in Division 7, Sweden's next lowest division, in 2005 and is best known for their record-fast trip to Division 1, Sweden's third highest league, winning every division they had participated in from their debut season in 2005 to 2009 and thus being awarded promotion to the next division during all of these five years. The sequence came to an end in 2010, when they finished sixth in the Division 1 Norra and thus missed promotion but remained in the Division 1 Norra for the 2011 season. Dalkurd FF are affiliated to the Dalarnas Fotbollförbund.[1]
History
The club was formed in 2004 by some local inhabitants from Borlänge. The club started as a social project by the management. The purpose with the club was to contribute to the youngsters in Borlänge by offering activities for them. IK Brage helped financing the project. In the first season the squad consisted of an average age of 17 years. Beside contributing to the youngsters, the chairman, Ramazan Kizil, had a high expectation from the football players and an ultimate goal: he wanted to take Dalkurd to the professional levels of the Swedish league. Dalkurd won every division they participated in from their very first season in 2005 to 2009. By this uncommon success they got a lot of media attention, both in Sweden and in other countries.
