Arameisk-Syrianska IF is a Swedish football club based in Norsborg, Botkyrka Municipality, south of Stockholm. The club was founded in 1980 by Syriacs (Arameans) and plays its home matches at Brunna IP.[1][2] Its official name is Arameiska/Syrianska Botkyrka Idrottsförening, though it is commonly known by the shorter form Arameisk-Syrianska IF.[3]
Design and History
The club was formed as Arameiska-Syrianska KIF and has undergone several name changes. In 2008, it adopted the name Syrianska Botkyrka IF after entering into a cooperation with Botkyrka Municipality.[2] The club is now recognized as Arameisk-Syrianska IF, and a Swedish football club registry notes that it was previously called Arameisk-Syrianska Botkyrka IF.[4] An earlier club entry in the same registry indicates that a related Norsborg club, originally called Norsborgs Suryoyo IF, changed its name to Arameisk-Syrianska KIF.[5]
The club’s traditional colors are yellow and red, as documented in German-language coverage of the club.[6] Youth tournament registrations from 2017 also list the club’s primary shirt color as red with yellow as the secondary color.[7]
Documentation of the current badge’s specific design elements is limited. A vector logo file for the club exists under the name Arameiska/Syrianska Botkyrka IF, attributed to a designer identified only as “Anatol,” though this attribution comes from a logo download database and cannot be independently verified.[8]
Meaning and Symbolism
The club’s name reflects its cultural identity. “Arameisk” and “Syrianska” both refer to the Syriac/Aramean people, and “IF” stands for Idrottsförening, the Swedish term for sports association. The club describes itself as one of northern Botkyrka’s largest associations, founded in 1980 with its base at Brunna IP in Norsborg, and states its values include taking active social responsibility for diversity and integration in Botkyrka.[1]
Claims about the badge’s design intent or cultural symbolism cannot be verified from available primary sources.
Typography and Design
The club’s official presence on laget.se displays the club name in standard web typography without a distinctive wordmark.[9]
