KFUM Borås
KFUM Borås is a Swedish multi-sport club based in Borås. The club's basketball team, known as Borås Basket, play in the Swedish top division Basketligan in 2017–18.[1][2] KFUM is a translation of the English language YMCA.
The club's handball team were promoted to the highest league, Allsvenskan, in 1964.[3] The team that won promotion mainly consisted of local players. A major reason for their success was the physical shape of the players. Coach Arne Eriksson, a former Swedish military pentathlon champion, made the players regularly practise long-distance running. This gave the team an advantage over technically more skilled opponents.[4] In their debut season in the top-flight, Borås finished second, a single point behind champions Redbergslids IK.[3][5] They did this with largely the same team that had won promotion.[4] They had an average attendance around 2400 during the season.[6] However, the club was relegated in the following season and never returned to the top division.[3] During this time, the team played their home matches in Boråshallen, the same arena that is currently used by the basketball team.[4] In 1984, KFUM Borås's handball department merged with three other clubs to form Borås HK 84.[7] In 2017, Borås HK 84 discontinued its men's first team.[8]
The club used to have a tennis department. In 2012 it merged with two other clubs and the organisation that operates the courts to form Elfsborg Tennis.[9][10]
