Valsta Syrianska IK was a Swedish based football club in Märsta, a suburb of Stockholm. The club was established in 1993 by Syriac immigrants arriving from Turkey. The club became defunct in 2015.

History

Valsta Syrianska IK was established in 1993 in Märsta, Stockholm. The club was formed following the merger of Valsta IK (Division 6 team) and the Syrianska association. The new club started in Division 6 and progressed through the Swedish football league system winning Division 6 in 1994, Division 5 in 1996, Division 4 in 1997 and Division 3 in 2000. Since 2006 the club has played in Division 1 Norra, the third tier of Swedish football until they were relegated to Division 2 after the 2011 season.

On February 15, 2015 it was announced that the club had reached bankruptcy, resulting in a withdrawal from the Swedish league system.[1]
