Background

Kvidinge Idrottsförening were formed on 13 June 1913 and from their inception to well into the 1930s specialised in athletics. Football was played only sporadically and it was not until 1931 that the club for the first time participated in a league.[2]

Since their formation Kvidinge IF football club has participated in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club's first major football success was 1941–42 when the club won Skåneserien Division 2. It took until 1962 before any further success when they won the Skåneserien Division 6, a feat that was repeated again in 1967. In 1972 Kvidinge IF won the Division 5 and gained promotion to Division 4 Skåne Nordvästra.[3] The most successful period in the club's history followed reaching its peak in the 1980s when KIF played two seasons in Division 3 Sydvästra Götaland, then the third tier of Swedish football, in 1980 and 1986.

The club currently plays in Division 7 Skåne Nordvästra which is the ninth tier of Swedish football.[4] They play their home matches at the Kvidinge IP in Kvidinge.[5]
