YWCA-YMCA of Sweden (Swedish: KFUK-KFUM Sverige) is the Sweden-branch of YMCA and YWCA. It was established in 1966 following a merger of YMCA of Sweden and YWCA of Sweden.[1]
In 2011, the organization decided to use the term "KFUM" during promotion where "M" now stands for "människor" ("people") instead of "män" (men) as before.[2]
YWCA-YMCA of Sweden has 60 000 members and 4 000 local associations.[3]
Several Swedish YWCA-YMCA associations have been successful in sports.
