IFK Vänersborg is a Swedish sports club in Vänersborg, Sweden, most famous for its success in bandy for men.

History

The club was formed on 9 March 1903. The first years, the club also competed in sports such as gymnastics and athletics.

In bandy, the club played in Allsvenskan for the first time during the 1975–76 season. The club was degraded and didn't return until the 1982–83 season. The club was once again degraded, and wasn't back until the 1986–87 season. Since then, the club has stayed in the top league, now called Elitserien. They have one of the most modern indoor arenas for bandy.

During the 2014 World Cup the team played the final, losing 1-4 against Västerås SK.[1]
