The football club was started in 1896 in Stockholm and is today located at Solna, north of Stockholm. The club's full name roughly translates into the Common Sports Club, referring to Allmän idrott, which, in the early 1900s, used to be the Swedish expression for athletics. The soccer club is currently playing in the highest Swedish league, the Allsvenskan. By tradition, the King Carl XVI Gustaf is a member of the club.
