Friska Viljor FC is a Swedish football club located in Örnsköldsvik in Örnsköldsvik Municipality, Västernorrland County.[1]

Background

The club was formed in February 1994 from the football section of the multi-sport club IF Friska Viljor, a club whose greatest achievement had been to reach the semifinal of the 1948 Svenska Cupen. From 1995 to 1998, the new club progressed through the league system from Division 6 to Division 2. In 2003, the club won Division 2 Norrland and then participated in the promotion play-offs: they won 4–3 away to Väsby IK FK and then lost 2–3 at home, and were promoted to the Superettan on away goals. Second-tier football in the Superettan in 2004 proved a disappointment as Friska Viljor finished in last place and were relegated.[2] In subsequent years Friska Viljor FC participated in the middle divisions of the Swedish football league system, winning the Division 3 promotion play-off to return to Division 2 Norrland (Swedish football's fourth tier) in 2015.

The club currently plays in Division 1 Norra (the third tier of Swedish football).[3] They play their home matches at Skyttis IP in Örnsköldsvik.[4] Since 2004, the club has used an artificial turf surface.

Friska Viljor FC are affiliated to the Ångermanlands Fotbollförbund.[5]
