History
Westermalms IF was founded on the Friday 1 August 1902 when 17 young people met at a café at Fleminggatan 62, Kungsholmen. The original name of the club was Idrottsklubben Friggs. Barely a decade later the club was already among the best football teams in Sweden, but without being able to win a title. Individual players such as Herbert Almqvist, Rune Bergström and Birger Carlsson were among a number of players at the club, who represented the Sweden national team.
The football team played two seasons in the Allsvenskan – in 1926–27 and 1928–29. The club also spent seven seasons in Division 2 in the 1920s and early 1930s. They won the Division 2 Östsvenska Serien on three occasions, the last time being in 1927–28.{{cite web |url= http://www.gais.se/fotboll/GAIS.nsf/StatisticsByTeam?ReadForm&Lag=Westermalms%20IF |title=GAIS – Lagfacta – Westermalms IF |access-date= 3 November 2010}}
In later years the fortunes of Westermalms IF FK plummeted and the club has remained entrenched in the lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club currently plays in Division 7 Stockholm D which is the ninth tier of Swedish football.{{cite web |url= http://www.stff.se/FA/TAVLING/Serietabell.aspx?serieid=15009&tavlingsid=1501 |title= Stockholms Fotbollförbund – Serietabell H 6 C, 2010 |access-date= 3 November 2010}} They play their home matches at the Stadshagens IP in Stockholm.{{cite web |url= http://www.fotbollsverige.se/results.html?competition_id=38660 |title= Fotbollsverige.se – Division 6 Stockholm C herrar|access-date= 3 November 2010}}
