Background

Since its foundation in 2005, Gällivare Malmbergets FF has participated in the middle divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club currently plays in Division 2 Norrland which is the fifth tier of Swedish football.^[2]

After many years of discussion, the football team of Gällivare Sportklubb (GSK) was merged with Malmbergets Allmänna Idrottsförening (MAIF) at the end of the 2005 season and the new club is now called Gällivare-Malmbergets Fotbollsförening (GMFF). Youth operations are still conducted under the GSK banner and Malmbergets AIF now runs a side in the lower divisions. GMFF plays its home matches at the Malmbergets IP in Gällivare Municipality.^[3]
