Background

A chart showing the progress of FC Gute through the Swedish football league system. The different shades of gray represent league divisions.

The club was formed in 1904 as Visby IF Gute, and in November 2007 changed name to the present name FC Gute. The club currently plays in the Division 2 Södra Svealand which is the fourth tier of the Swedish football league system. They play their home matches at the Gutavallen arena in Visby.[2] However, due to maintenance of the arena's running track, Gutavallen wasn't available for FC Gute between April–July 2013. During this period, Gute played their home games on an artificial pitch called "Rävhagens konstgräs", located in Rävhagen, Visby (konstgräs: artificial turf).

FC Gute are affiliated to the Gotlands Fotbollförbund.[3]
