Oldest football clubs in the Nordic countries
This is a list of sports clubs in the Nordic countries that started playing football before the 20th century. Sports clubs founded during that time but that did not start playing football until later are not included.
History
The first match between Danish clubs played by the association football rules took place in 1887,[1] and first match between Swedish clubs took place in 1892.[2] Before that, all clubs played by other rules, many of the Swedish clubs played by the Swedish football rules.[3]
