Background
IK Frej was founded 5 February 1968 by Åke Berghagen and his friends. Today, IK Frej has more than 1200 members, most of whom are active in the football section. Approximately 50% of the youngsters aged 7–17 years in Täby Kyrkby are members of the club.{{cite web |url= http://www.ikfrej.se/index.php?historia |title= IK Frej – Historia |access-date=2010-09-20}}
The club is named after the Norse god Freyr, Frej in Swedish, and has a picture of a viking with a horned helmet in their crest.
Since 1968 IK Frej has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club played in Superettan, the second tier of Swedish football, between 2015 and 2019.{{cite web |url= https://svenskfotboll.se/svensk-fotboll/om-svff/distrikten/?scr=table&ftid=27289 |title= Tabell och resultat – Div 2 Norra Svealand, herrar – Svenskfotboll.se |access-date=2010-09-20}} They play their home matches at the Vikingavallen in Täby.{{cite web |url= http://www.fotbollsverige.se/results.html?competition_id=38695 |title= Fotbollsverige.se – Division 2 Norra Svealand |access-date= 2010-09-20 |archive-date= 8 June 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100608030026/http://www.fotbollsverige.se/results.html?competition_id=38695 |url-status= dead }}
In 2021, after several years of financial difficulties, IK Frej withdrew from Division 1 to join Division 4 instead. Affiliated club Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, that had provided resources in forms of funds and loan players for several years, decided to form Hammarby Talangfotbollsförening that took the place of IK Frej in Division 1.{{cite web|url=https://www.laget.se/ikfrejtabyherrfotboll/news/6571947/Rapport-fran-Arsmotet-2021-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210203194127/https://www.laget.se/ikfrejtabyherrfotboll/news/6571947/Rapport-fran-Arsmotet-2021-02-03|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 February 2021|title=Rapport från Årsmötet 2021-02-03|publisher=IK Frej|access-date=8 February 2021|language=sv}}{{cite web|url=https://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/aktuellt/nyheter/angaende-samarbetet-med-ik-frej/|title=Angående samarbetet med IK Frej|publisher=Hammarby Fotboll|access-date=8 February 2021|language=sv|archive-date=15 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515073026/https://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/aktuellt/nyheter/angaende-samarbetet-med-ik-frej/|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://ikfrej.se/2020/11/19/ik-frej-taby-ff-seniorverksamhet/|title=IK Frej Täby FF – Seniorverksamhet|publisher=IK Frej|access-date=8 February 2021|language=sv}}
