History

Valsta Syrianska IK was established in 1993 in Märsta, Stockholm. The club was formed following the merger of Valsta IK (Division 6 team) and the Syrianska association. The new club started in Division 6 and progressed through the Swedish football league system winning Division 6 in 1994, Division 5 in 1996, Division 4 in 1997 and Division 3 in 2000. Since 2006 the club has played in Division 1 Norra, the third tier of Swedish football until they were relegated to Division 2 after the 2011 season.

On February 15, 2015 it was announced that the club had reached bankruptcy, resulting in a withdrawal from the Swedish league system.[1]
