Skövde AIK is a Swedish football club from Skövde. It was founded on 21 June 1919. In 2024 the club plays in Superettan, which is the 17th season in Superettan for the club.

Background[edit]

Skövde AIK was founded on 20 June 1919. The club played in the second tier in 1995. Eight seasons later the club had plunged into Division 5 Västergötland Östra, the sixth tier, having been relegated 3 consecutive times between 2000 and 2002. However SAIK have made a dramatic recovery and by 2007 were back in Division 1 Södra which is now the third tier of Swedish football after 4 consecutive promotions. In 2006, Skövde AIK won the Division 2 Mellersta Götaland after defeating IK Sleipner 2–1 in the decisive final match before 2364 spectators. In 2009 the club just failed to get into the Superettan after missing out in the Promotion Playoffs. In 2021 the club got promoted to Superettan. The first year in Superettan was a success, as they placed 5th, only 4 points away from the playoff game to Allsvenskan.

The club is affiliated to the Västergötlands Fotbollförbund.[1]
