'''Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna Kristianstad''' ({{IPA|sv|krɪˈɧǎnːsta, -ɑːd|pron}}), or '''IFK Kristianstad''', is a Swedish professional handball club based in Kristianstad. They play in Handbollsligan, the top level of Swedish men's handball. The club was founded in 1899 as a multi-sport club. The handball team made its debut in 1925 and has been the only section of the club since 2000. The club plays its home matches at Kristianstad Arena.

Kristianstad have won nine Swedish Championship (SM) gold medals. They won their first gold in 1941. From 1946 to 1957 they were a consistent top team, finishing in the top four every year and winning three golds. They were again a contender in the 1970s, losing the final in 1975. In the 1980s and 1990s, they mainly yo-yoed between the top two divisions. After spending the entire 2000s decade outside the top flight, Kristianstad enjoyed a massive resurgence in the 2010s, culminating in four consecutive golds from 2015 to 2018. In 2023 they won another SM gold as well as their first Swedish Cup title.

In 2018–19, the team had an average attendance of 4271, the highest in Swedish handball.<ref name=Publik19/> While the club, like most Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna (IFK) clubs, has a blue and white logo, its shirt colour is orange. The club uses the slogan ''Sveriges häftigaste handbollsklubb'' ("Sweden's coolest handball club").<ref name=Slogan/>

==History== ===Early years (1899–1945)=== thumb|Adolf Johnson, founder of IFK Kristianstad (sitting in the middle) IFK Kristianstad was founded on 7 November 1899<ref name=Datum/> as a multi-sport club by Adolf Johnsson, a secondary school pupil from Broby. Johnsson was the first chairman of the club. The club previously had sections in field handball, football, cycling, athletics, and gymnastics as well as women's handball, but has only been a men's handball club since 2000 when the other sections formed separate clubs due to IFK Kristianstad's financial troubles.<ref name=IFKboken1/> The first City Championship in handball in Kristianstad was played in 1925. IFK Kristianstad competed against school and armed forces teams, as well as rival clubs. IFK Kristianstad won the tournament in 1925 and 1928. A Provincial Championship for the clubs in Scania was first played in 1932, which IFK Kristianstad won in 1933 and 1935. In 1933–34, IFK Kristianstad played in an unofficial league consisting of teams from the cities of Kristianstad and Ystad,<ref name=IFKboken2/> finishing second behind Ystads IF.<ref name=bok34/>

The team made its debut in the league system in 1935,<ref name=IFKplaceringar/> coached by Oscar Meyer.<ref name=Coaches/> At the time the Swedish Championship (''Svenska mästerskapet'', SM) was decided as a knockout tournament independent of the league. Until 1946, the tournament was contested only by the Provincial champions.<ref name=Bok1953a/> In the league, Kristianstad reached the top division, at the time known as Allsvenskan, in 1936–37, but were immediately relegated.<ref name=Placeringar/> Meyer left as coach after that season and former SM winner Eskil Gustafsson was signed from Majornas IK as player-coach.<ref name=Coaches/><ref name=IFKboken8/><ref name=Bok1953g/> They were promoted again in 1939 and finished second in the league that year.<ref name=Placeringar/> However, they failed to win the Provincial Championship<ref name=IFKboken3/> and did not participate in SM.<ref name=Bok1953b/> They finished second in the league again in 1940–41.<ref name=Placeringar/> They won their first SM gold in the same year, defeating second-tier IFK Uppsala in the final by 17–8.<ref name=Bok1953c/>

===First golden era (1945–1957)=== In 1945, Gustafsson was replaced as coach by another player-coach, Karl Erik Nilsson.<ref name=Coaches/> In Nilsson's first season, Kristianstad won the second division and were promoted back to the top division.<ref name=IFKplaceringar/> In the same season they reached the SM semi-finals, where they were beaten by Majorna.<ref name=Bok1953d/> From 1946 to 1957, Kristianstad finished top 4 in the league for 11 consecutive seasons.<ref name=Placeringar/> Behind this success was a core of players from the club's youth system, such as Carl-Erik Stockenberg, Åke Moberg, Bertil Rönndahl and Erik Nordström.<ref name=IFKboken4/> In 1946–47, the team finished third in the league,<ref name=Placeringar/> but were eliminated by Ystads IF in the round of 16 of SM. Starting in this season, the SM tournament was contested by all top-flight teams and all Provincial champions, as well as invited lower-league teams.<ref name=Bok1953d/> Nilsson left in 1947 and Gustafsson returned as coach.<ref name=Coaches/> In the first season after Gustafsson's return, Kristianstad finished second in the league behind Redbergslids IK.<ref name=Placeringar/> They won their second SM gold after beating Redbergslid in the final by 8–7.<ref name=SM48/> In 1948–49 they finished second in the league again,<ref name=Placeringar/> but their title defence in SM ended in the semi-finals against IFK Lidingö.<ref name=SM49/>

thumb|The 1952–53 Swedish Championship-winning IFK Kristianstad squad In 1949–50, Kristianstad won the league<ref name=Placeringar/> but were eliminated from SM by IK Baltichov in the round of 16.<ref name=SM50/> After that season, Gustafsson was replaced by co-player-coaches Karl Fridlundh, Moberg and Evert Sjunnesson.<ref name=Coaches/> In their first season in charge, the club finished third in the league<ref name=Placeringar/> and reached the SM final, where they were beaten by second-tier team AIK.<ref name=Bok1953e/> The following season they won the league<ref name=Placeringar/> and set up a re-match against AIK in the SM final after eliminating cross-town rivals Näsby IF in the semi-finals. They defeated AIK by 16–15 after extra time to win their third SM gold.<ref name=Bok1953f/> After this season, the SM tournament was discontinued and the SM title was awarded to the league winners. In 1952–53, they won the league which earned them their fourth SM gold.<ref name=Slutspel/> They finished second in the league in the next two seasons, behind Redbergslid and IK Heim, respectively.<ref name=Placeringar/> In 1954, three Kristianstad players (Moberg, Sjunnesson and Stockenberg) were members of the Swedish team that won the country's first World Championship.<ref name=VM54/> Between 1953 and 1957, several key players left the team and their success started declining.<ref name=IFKboken9/>

===Title drought (1957–2007)=== Kristianstad suffered two successive relegations in 1958 and 1959. After spending two seasons at the third level they were promoted to the second division, where they remained until being promoted back to Allsvenskan in 1970.<ref name=IFKplaceringar/> By this time, a playoff tournament featuring the top 4 in the league had been introduced to determine the champions. The 1970s was the first time that the club featured a significant number of players from outside the Kristianstad area, including Thomas Persson, Einar Jakobsson and Lars-Göran Jönsson.<ref name=IFKboken99/> In 1971–72, Sjunnesson coached the team to a fourth place in the league, earning them a spot in the playoffs,<ref name=Coaches/><ref name=Placeringar/> but they were eliminated by SoIK Hellas in the semi-finals.<ref name=SS75/> In 1972, Kristianstad players Sten Olsson and Persson were included in Sweden's squad for the Olympics.<ref name=Hist/> Coached by Leif Rosenberg, Kristianstad finished second in the league in 1974–75 and qualified for the playoffs.<ref name=Coaches/><ref name=Placeringar/> They won the semi-finals against Heim but lost the finals to Drott.<ref name=SS75/> The club was relegated in 1981 and only played 3 of 11 seasons in the top flight from 1981 to 1992.<ref name=Placeringar/>

From the 1990–91 season until 2002–03, Swedish league handball was split into autumn and spring leagues. The eight highest-ranked teams in the autumn edition of the top division, now known as Elitserien, qualified for the spring league whereas the remaining four were relegated to compete in Allsvenskan along with teams from each of the two second-tier Division 1 leagues. In 1994–95, coach Urban Harju led the team to sixth place in the spring league,<ref name=Coaches/><ref name=Placeringar/> which earned them a spot in the playoffs. However, they lost the quarter-final series.<ref name=SS95/> In 1996–97, now with Dragan Mihailovic as coach,<ref name=Coaches/> they finished fifth in the spring league,<ref name=Placeringar/> but again lost the quarter-final series.<ref name=Flinck/> The following season, they finished 11th in the league<ref name=Placeringar/> and were relegated after finishing 7th in Allsvenskan.<ref name=IFKplaceringar/>

This relegation was followed by a period of financial trouble for the club. By the end of 2000, it had 2.7 million SEK in debt, and was unable to pay its players and staff. Additionally, in 2002, a former chairman and three board members were charged with tax evasion, being accused of having evaded taxes for payments of 1.7 million SEK between 1995 and 1997. Bankruptcy was a very real possibility for the club. However, the tax evasion trial was cancelled due to one of the suspects, whom the prosecutor believed to hold key information, falling severely ill. By 2003, the club had stabilised its economy and paid its debts.<ref name=Slogan/> This period was also the club's on-field nadir; they sank as low as the fourth level in the spring of 2000 and the spring of 2002.<ref name=IFKplaceringar/>

===Start of resurgence (2007–2014)=== [[File:Kristianstad-Malmö.jpg|thumb|A match between Kristianstad and HK Malmö in the new Kristianstad Arena]] A resurgence for the club started with the appointment of Kenneth Andersson as coach in 2007.<ref name=Coaches/> In his first year, Kristianstad finished third in the second division and qualified for the promotion playoffs.<ref name=ES08/> However, they lost the series against Trelleborg.<ref name=ES08K/> In 2008–09 they finished second in the division and were promoted automatically.<ref name=ES09/> In 2009, Kristianstad hired Nikolas Larsson as the club director. He has been credited with a major part in the club's recent success. From 2009 to 2016, the club's equity went from −1.3 million SEK to +6.1 million SEK, the highest in the league. During the same time, the club's revenue has increased from 5.6 million SEK to 32.4 million SEK, the second highest in the league behind IK Sävehof (whose numbers include the annual Partille Cup and a dominant women's team).<ref name=Larsson/> Larsson left the club in 2018.<ref name=Tell/> In 2010, Kristianstad moved from Kristianstad Idrottshall to the newly built Kristianstad Arena.<ref name=Invigning/> In both 2009–10 and 2010–11, they finished 11th in the league<ref name=ES10/><ref name=ES11/> and narrowly avoided relegation after finishing second in the relegation league both times.<ref name=ES10K/><ref name=ES11K/> Despite this, they had the highest average attendance in the league (2769) in 2010–11.<ref name=Publik11/>

Over the next four seasons, Kristianstad would improve their finishing position each year. In 2011–12, they finished sixth in the league and qualified for the playoffs.<ref name=ES12/> In February that season, Andersson was replaced by Sweden coach Ola Lindgren, who continued to coach Sweden in addition to Kristanstad until 2016. They reached the SM final by upsetting league winners Guif by three games to two in a close semi-final series.<ref name=ES12SF/> However, they lost in the final against heavily favoured Sävehof by 29–21.<ref name=ES12F/> Lindgren made major changes in the squad in his first few years in charge to strengthen the team and introduce the right "attitude" in the squad.<ref name=Attityd/> In 2012–13, Kristianstad made their first appearance in a pan-European competition, as they participated in the EHF Cup.<ref name=ED/> They were eliminated by Guif in the second qualifying round.<ref name=EHF1213R2/> They improved to third in the league<ref name=ES13/> and reached their second consecutive final, which they went on to lose against Drott in a very close match by 28–27.<ref name=ES13F/> They participated in the EHF Cup again in the following season, where they reached the group stage, but finished last of the four teams in their group.<ref name=EHF1314GP/> Meanwhile, they finished second in the league for the first time since 1975,<ref name=ES14/> but lost the semi-finals to Lugi.<ref name=ES14SF/>

===Second golden era (2014–present)=== thumb|Kristianstad's squad in September 2016. In 2014–15, the club was unable to qualify for the EHF Cup group stage, losing to German powerhouse HSV Hamburg in the last qualifying round on away goals.<ref name=EHF1415R3/> From the 2014–15 season to 2017–18, Kristianstad won both the regular season and the SM gold for four consecutive seasons.<ref name=4sir/><ref name=4gir/> They defeated Alingsås in the final in the first three of these seasons, with the 2015 final being the closest.<ref name=Guld15/><ref name=Guld16/><ref name=Guld17/> In 2015–16, they qualified for the Champions League, where only one spot is allocated to Sweden for the SM winners. They were placed in the top 16 (groups A and B), and finished seventh in their group on head-to-head record behind Montpellier, narrowly outside of the top six who advance to the next round.<ref name=EHF1516GP/> Domestically, they won 30 of 32 matches in the regular season and won the league by 16 points, eight wins ahead of second-place Alingsås.<ref name=ES16/> Kristianstad player Jerry Tollbring was selected for Sweden's squad in the 2016 Olympics.<ref name=OS16/> In the 2016–17 Champions League, Kristianstad were again placed in the top 16, but finished last in the group, a single point behind Zagreb for the knockout stage spots.<ref name=EHF1617GP/> For the third consecutive season, Kristianstad played in the top 16 of the Champions League in 2017–18.<ref name=CL1718/> They advanced from the group stage for the first time<ref name=Zagreb/> before being eliminated by German club Flensburg-Handewitt.<ref name=EHF1718R16/> They won the 2018 SM final against HK Malmö by 23–22 after extra time.<ref name=Guld18/> Lindgren resigned in January 2019 due to disagreements with the club, after they had decided not to extend his contract after the 2018–19 season.<ref name=OL/> He was replaced by Ljubomir Vranjes.<ref name=Vranjes/> Kristianstad won their fifth consecutive regular season title that season,<ref name=ES19/> but were swept by Alingsås in the semi-finals.<ref name=ES19SF/> In the 2010s, they had a lot of success in spite of frequently losing important players to foreign teams,<ref name=Attityd/> including six full internationals in 2016,<ref name=tapp1/> Tollbring and Nebojša Simić in 2017<ref name=tapp2/> and Albin Lagergren and Tim Sørensen in 2018.<ref name=Transfers/>

Vranjes was sacked in December 2020<ref name=VranjesOut/> and replaced by interim coach Ulf Larsson until the end of the season.<ref name=UlfLarsson/> At the start of the following season Jonas Wille was appointed coach.<ref name=Wille/> He left the club after one season and was replaced by Stian Tønnesen.<ref name=Tønnesen/> In 2022–23 Kristianstad became the second club in history to win the treble of the regular season, the Swedish Cup and SM,{{efn|The first was Hellas in 1971; the Swedish Cup was not played from the 1991–92 season to 2020–21}} defeating Hammarby in the Cup finals and Sävehof in the SM finals.<ref name=Treble/><ref name=Gold23/>

==Colours and crest== Unlike most IFK clubs, who play in blue and white kits, Kristianstad play in orange shirts. It is unclear why they use this colour. One explanation is that they chose the colour to avoid the need for an away kit, although this is unconfirmed. Club historian Alf Braun states that the team played in orange when the handball section started in the 1930s, and played the 1933 Provincial Championship final in orange shirts and brown trousers. He says that they later started using blue and white shirts in 1948, but switched back to orange during the 1950–51 season. According to former player Uno Kvist, they used blue and white in 1953 but later played "mostly" in orange.<ref name=orange/>

The club does, however, have a blue and white logo. The logo features a four-pointed star, which is a symbol for IFK,<ref name=orange/> on a shield split diagonally in a white and a blue half, along with the club's name and year of establishment.<ref name=Hist/> The logo has had a similar design at least since the early 1950s.<ref name=kit52/> The team had only the four-pointed star on their shirts until the 1970s, when they replaced it with the full logo.<ref name=IFKboken5/>

==Arenas== [[File:Kristianstad Arena, framsidan.jpg|thumb|Kristianstad play their home matches at Kristianstad Arena.]] Kristianstad have had four different arenas. From 1935 to 1947, the team played in Södra kaserns gymnastiksal. The field was only 13.5 meters wide, which meant that the goal-area lines crossed the side lines rather than the outer goal lines. Due to these unusual dimensions, the arena was commonly known as Korridoren ("the Corridor"). The separation between the spectators and the field was poor and it was possible for fans to trip opposing players. While the official capacity of the arena was between 1200 and 1300, the record attendance is 1655 in a match against Djurgårdens IF in December 1939.<ref name=IFKboken6/>

Between 1947 and 1964, Kristianstad played at Sporthallen, which was created from a rebuilt horse riding arena and only intended as a temporary solution. The arena only had stands at the short ends. The record attendance at Sporthallen is 2464, in a top-of-the-league clash against Redbergslids IK in February 1948. At the end of 1964, the team moved to Kristianstads Idrottshall (Idrottshallen), its first "proper" arena. It was the first arena of the club to host international matches. The record attendance for Kristianstad at Idrottshallen was 2701, well above the allowed capacity of the arena, in the final series against HK Drott in 1975.<ref name=IFKboken6/>

Since 2010, Kristanstad play their home matches at Kristianstad Arena, which has a capacity of 5200.<ref name=Kapacitet/> It is adjacent to Idrottshallen.<ref name=Adjacent/> Kristianstad played their first match at the new arena on 17 October 2010, a 31–31 draw against Redbergslid.<ref name=Invigning/> Kristianstad's highest attendance at the arena is 5221 in the 2018 semi-finals against Lugi.<ref name=KB/> Kristianstad Arena is a multi-purpose venue, which is also used for other sports (both major events, grassroot, and school sport), concerts and other events.<ref name=Multipurpose/> The arena was one of the venues for the 2011 World Championship.<ref name=ArenaVM/>

==Supporters and rivalries== Kristianstad's official supporter club is Södra Kurvan ("the South Stand"). It was formed in 2010 as a reaction to the relative lack of atmosphere at home matches after the move from Kristianstad Idrottshall to Kristianstad Arena, due to an inability to fill the much larger arena.<ref name=SKbildad/> It is a nonprofit organisation with its own board and members.<ref name=SKideell/> Since its establishment, Södra Kurvan has gained over 500 members.<ref name=SKmedlemmar/> Kristianstad have drawn large crowds in recent years, having the highest average attendance in the league every season from the 2010–11 season to 2018–19.<ref name=Slogan/><ref name=Publik/> The shirt number 8 is reserved for the fans, symbolising that they are the 8th player for the team.<ref name=Nummer8/>

While Kristianstad do not have a traditional rival, matches against other Scania teams, including OV Helsingborg HK,<ref name=Hbgderby/> Lugi HF,<ref name=Lugiderby/> HK Malmö,<ref name=Malmoderby/> Ystads IF<ref name=YIFderby/> and IFK Ystad HK,<ref name=IFKYderby/> are considered derbies.
