'''Malmö Fotbollförening''' ({{IPA|sv|ˈmâlːmøː ˈfûːtbɔlːfœˌreːnɪŋ}}), commonly known simply as '''Malmö FF''' or '''MFF''', is a Swedish professional football club based in [[Malmö]], [[Scania]]. They compete in the [[Allsvenskan]], the top division of Swedish football, and play home matches at the [[Eleda Stadion]].

==History==
{{Main|History of Malmö FF}}

===Early years===
[[File:GamlaIP.jpg|thumb|left|Malmö IP, the first home stadium for the club between 1910 and 1957]]

The club arose from a municipal initiative in 1905 to encourage young people in Malmö to play organised football. One of the youth teams, Bollklubben Idrott, also known simply as BK Idrott, was a predecessor to Malmö FF. BK Idrott joined the newly created football department of [[IFK Malmö]] in 1909, but soon left because of issues between the two clubs. On 24 February 1910 the 19 members of BK Idrott founded Malmö FF; the first chairman was [[Werner Mårtensson]].<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 14–16.</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mff.se/Ditt_MFF/Om_klubben/Historik/1910-1939.aspx |title=1910–1939 |work=mff.se |publisher=Malmö FF |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905141459/http://www.mff.se/Ditt_MFF/Om_klubben/Historik/1910-1939.aspx |archive-date= 5 September 2012 }}</ref>

The club spent its first ten years in local and regional divisions as there was no official national league competition, playing the majority of their matches in the city division called the Malmömästerskapen. They also competed in regional competitions in [[Scania]], and played matches against Danish clubs. In 1916 Malmö FF reached the final of the Scanian regional competition (''Distriktsmästerskapen'') for the first time, playing against rivals [[Helsingborgs IF]] but losing 3–4.<ref>Smitt, 2009, p. 17.</ref> The club defeated local rivals IFK Malmö three times during the season, and thus earned the unofficial but much desired title of Malmö's best football club.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 16–17.</ref> In 1917 Malmö FF competed for the first time in [[Svenska Mästerskapet]], a cup tournament for the title of [[List of Swedish football champions|Swedish champions]], but lost their first match in the second qualifying round 4–1 against IFK Malmö. The club continued to play in the cup until 1922, reaching the quarter-finals in 1920 when they were knocked out by [[Landskrona BoIS]]. The cup was eventually discontinued and the title of Swedish champions was given to the winners of the [[Allsvenskan]] which was first created for the [[1924–25 in Swedish football|1924–25]] season.<ref>Smitt, 2009, p. 258.</ref>{{refn|group=upper-alpha|name=champions}}

In 1920 the [[Swedish Football Association]] invited Swedish football clubs to compete in official national competitions. Malmö FF earned a place in the Division&nbsp;2 Sydsvenska Serien. They won this division in the first season, and were promoted to the Svenska Serien Västra, the highest level of competition in Sweden at the time. However, they were [[Promotion and relegation|relegated]] after a single season, and found themselves back in Sydsvenska Serien for nearly a decade until they again achieved promotion to Allsvenskan, in 1931.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 20–21.</ref>

===First years in the Allsvenskan and early achievements===
[[File:Guldlaget1944.jpg|thumb|The Malmö FF team of 1943–44]]
The club achieved mid-table league positions for two seasons, but was relegated in 1934 as a penalty for breaking amateur regulations. The club had paid their players a small sum of money for each game. Although against the rules, this was common at the time; Malmö FF was the only club to show it in the accounting records. In addition to relegation to Division&nbsp;2, the club suffered bans for the entire board of directors and twenty-six players. The version of events told by Malmö FF and local press suggests that local rival, IFK Malmö, had reported the violation to the Swedish Football Association. This belief has contributed to the longstanding competitive tensions between the clubs.<ref name="Smitt25-26">Smitt, 2009, pp. 25–26.</ref><ref name="1934 scandal at malmo.se">{{cite web|url=http://www.malmo.se/Medborgare/Kultur--noje/Arkiv--historia/Kulturarv-Malmo/L-O/Malmo-FF.html |title=Malmö FF |work=malmo.se |publisher=Malmö Stad |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605114951/http://www.malmo.se/Medborgare/Kultur--noje/Arkiv--historia/Kulturarv-Malmo/L-O/Malmo-FF.html |archive-date= 5 June 2011 }}</ref><ref name="1934 scandal at sydsvenskan.se">{{cite web |url=http://www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur-och-nojen/dygnetrunt/article82640/Historia-po-himmaplan.html |title=Historia po himmaplan |work=Sydsvenskan |date=31 December 2011 |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |trans-title=History on home turf |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121209080833/http://www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur--nojen/dygnet-runt/historia-po-himmaplan/ |archive-date=9 December 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The club made their way back to the Allsvenskan in 1937 after two seasons in the Division&nbsp;2. In the same year [[Eric Persson]] was elected as chairman after being secretary since 1929, and held the position until 1974. Persson is regarded by club leaders and fans as the most important person in the club's history, as he turned the club professional in the 1970s. Under his leadership the club went from being titleless in 1937 to holding ten Swedish championships by the end of the 1974 season.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 165.</ref> In 1939 the club reached its highest position yet, third place in the Allsvenskan, nine points behind champions [[IF Elfsborg]]. Malmö FF's first [[List of Swedish football champions|Swedish championship]] came in 1944, when the club won the penultimate game of the season against [[AIK Fotboll|AIK]] before 36,000 spectators at the [[Råsunda]]. The last game of the season was won 7–0 against [[Halmstad BK]].<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 27–35.</ref>

The following nine seasons, Malmö FF finished in the top three in the league. The club won the Swedish Championship in 1949, 1950, 1951 and 1953, and were runners-up in 1946, 1948 and 1952. The club also won the [[Svenska Cupen]] in 1944, 1946, 1947, 1951 and 1953, and finished as runners-up in 1945. Between 6 May 1949 and 1 June 1951, the team were unbeaten in 49 matches, of which 23 were an unbroken streak of victories.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 40–48.</ref>
[[File:Malmoffplayers1962.jpg|thumb|Young players in the 1960s]]

The club finished as runners-up in the Allsvenskan twice more, in 1956 and 1957. The following year the club left Malmö IP for [[Malmö Stadion]], which had been built for the [[1958 FIFA World Cup]], and was to host the club for 50 years. In 1964 Malmö FF contracted Spanish manager [[Antonio Durán]]; this was the first of a series of changes that led to the most successful era in the club's history. Young talents such as Lars Granström and [[Bo Larsson]] emerged during the early 1960s and would prove to be crucial ingredients in the success that would come in the 1970s. The club finished second in 1964 but went on to win their sixth Swedish Championship in 1965, when Bo Larsson scored 28 goals to finish as the league's top goal scorer. Malmö FF once again won the Allsvenskan in 1967, after a less successful year in 1966. The club's young players, as well as talents bought in from neighbouring clubs in Scania in 1967, became a team that consistently finished in the top three in the Allsvenskan.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 49–58.</ref>

===Successful 1970s, European Cup 1979, 1980s and 1990s===
After finishing as runners-up in Allsvenskan for the final two years of the 1960s, Malmö FF started the most successful decade of their history with a Swedish Championship in 1970. The club won Allsvenskan in 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975 and 1977 as well as Svenska Cupen in 1976 and 1978. The 1977 Allsvenskan victory qualified the club for the [[1978–79 European Cup]], and after victories against [[AS Monaco FC|AS Monaco]], [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]], [[Wisła Kraków]] and [[FK Austria Wien|Austria Wien]], Malmö FF reached [[1979 European Cup Final|the final]] of the competition, which was played at the [[Olympic Stadium (Munich)|Olympiastadion]] in Munich against [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]]. [[Trevor Francis]], who scored the only goal of the match, won it 1–0 for Nottingham Forest. Nevertheless, the 1979 European Cup run is the biggest success in the history of Malmö FF.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 58–67.</ref> The team were given the [[Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal]] the same year, awarded for the most significant Swedish sporting achievement of the year, for their achievement in the European Cup.<ref name="Svdmedal"/>
[[File:Sweden malmö stadion sweden.jpg|thumb|right|Malmö Stadion, the home stadium for the club between 1958 and 2008]]

Much of the success during the 1970s was due to new tactics and training methods brought to the club by Englishman [[Bob Houghton]], who managed the club between 1974 and 1980. Eric Persson was succeeded as chairman in 1974 by [[Hans Cavalli-Björkman]]. After the team performed respectably under managers [[Keith Blunt]] and [[Tord Grip]] in the early 1980s, [[Roy Hodgson]] took over in 1985. [[Roy Hodgson]] led Malmö FF to two Swedish Championships in 1986 and 1988, and the club won Allsvenskan five years in a row between 1985 and 1989. At the time, the championship was decided by play-offs between the best teams after the end of the regular season; this arrangement was in place from 1982 until 1992. The club reached the play-off final four times between 1986 and 1989 but only managed to win the final twice. Apart from Allsvenskan and Swedish Championships, Malmö FF won Svenska Cupen in 1984, 1986 and 1989.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 76–80.</ref>

Other than finishing as runners-up in Allsvenskan in 1996, the team did not excel in the 1990s, as the club failed to win Allsvenskan and Svenska Cupen throughout the entire decade. The 1990s ended with relegation from Allsvenskan in 1999. Hans Cavalli-Björkman was succeeded as chairman by [[Bengt Madsen]] in 1999, and former player [[Hasse Borg]] was contracted as Director of Sport. These operational changes, as well as the emergence of young talent [[Zlatan Ibrahimović]], led to the return to Allsvenskan in 2001. Ibrahimović rose to fame and became an important player in Malmö FF's campaign to return to the top league. He was later sold to [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] in 2001, before playing for several European clubs in Italy's [[Serie A]], [[FC Barcelona]] in Spain's [[La Liga]], [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] in France's [[Ligue 1]], [[Manchester United F.C.]] in England's [[Premier League]], [[LA Galaxy]] in the [[Major League Soccer|MLS]], and AC Milan again until his retirement in 2023.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 84–90.</ref>

===Start of the 2000s to the present===
[[File:Sweden malmö eleda stadion nya stadion.jpg|thumb|Eleda Stadion]]
The return to Allsvenskan was the start of the successful early 2000s, under the management of [[Tom Prahl]], when the club finished in the top three times in a row. In 2004, it won Allsvenskan, the club's fifteenth Swedish Championship. In 2005, the club reached the last qualifying round for the [[UEFA Champions League]] but were defeated by [[FC Thun]]. Successful sponsor work and player sales also made Malmö FF the richest club in Sweden.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 89–90.</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.idrottensaffarer.se/affarer/2009/02/mff-ar-sveriges-rikaste-klubb | title=MFF är Sveriges rikaste klubb | work=idrottensaffarer.se | publisher=Idrottens Affärer | date=21 February 2009 | access-date=22 August 2012 | language=sv | trans-title=MFF is the richest club in Sweden | archive-date=7 June 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190607212622/http://www.idrottensaffarer.se/affarer/2009/02/mff-ar-sveriges-rikaste-klubb | url-status=live }}</ref> This position was further cemented by the successive [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] group stage appearances the two following years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.expressen.se/kvallsposten/sport/90-miljoner-ar-mycket-men-inte-jattemycket/|title=90 miljoner är mycket, men inte jättemycket|language=sv|publisher=Kvällsposten| first=Mattias | last = Larsson|date=26 January 2017|access-date=16 December 2018|archive-date=16 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181216163656/https://www.expressen.se/kvallsposten/sport/90-miljoner-ar-mycket-men-inte-jattemycket/|url-status=live}}</ref> Malmö FF moved from Malmö Stadion to [[Eleda Stadion]] in 2009, a stadium built entirely for football and located next to the old one.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 94–95.</ref>

In October 2013, Malmö FF won their seventeenth Swedish championship and 20th Allsvenskan title in the penultimate round of the league away from home. Similar to 2010, the title was the result of a young squad. The average age of the squad, 23.8 years, was the youngest team to become champions since the beginning of the 21st century.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.svt.se/sport/fotboll/mff-yngsta-guldlaget-pa-2000-talet | title=MFF yngsta guldlaget på 2000-talet | work=svt.se | publisher=Sveriges Television | date=29 October 2013 | access-date=3 November 2013 | language=sv | trans-title=MFF has the youngest championship squad in the 21st century | archive-date=24 September 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924150557/http://www.svt.se/sport/fotboll/mff-yngsta-guldlaget-pa-2000-talet | url-status=live }}</ref> The following year Malmö FF qualified for the group stage of the [[2014–15 UEFA Champions League]] by beating [[FK Ventspils|Ventspils]], [[AC Sparta Prague|Sparta Prague]] and [[FC Red Bull Salzburg|Red Bull Salzburg]] in the qualifying rounds.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mff.se/Aktuellt/Nyheter/2014-08-28_MFF_Vidare_till_CL |title=Malmö FF är inne i Champions League |work=mff.se |publisher=Malmö FF |date=28 August 2014 |access-date=30 August 2014 |language=sv |trans-title=Malmö FF into the Champions League |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140831061020/http://www.mff.se/Aktuellt/Nyheter/2014-08-28_MFF_Vidare_till_CL |archive-date=31 August 2014 }}</ref> This was the first time the club qualified for the competition proper since the re-branding from the European Cup in the [[1992–93 UEFA Champions League|1992–93]] season and the first time since the [[2000–01 UEFA Champions League|2000–01]] season that a Swedish club qualified.

[[Image:Malmö FF League Performance.svg|thumb|350px|Chart of Malmö's yearly table positions in the Swedish football league system.]]The [[2015 Malmö FF season|2015 season]] saw Malmö FF failing to retaining the title and missing out on the top-four for the first time since 2009. However, the club managed to qualify once again to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League in the [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League]] edition, beating [[FK Žalgiris|Žalgiris Vilnius]], [[FC Red Bull Salzburg|Red Bull Salzburg]] and [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] in qualifiers.

This resulted in the club surpassing [[IFK Göteborg]] in terms of Swedish championship titles, indisputably becoming the most successful Swedish football club of all time in terms of domestic titles while still being second behind IFK Göteborg in terms of European titles.

The 2020s have brought renewed national success to the club, winning the Allsvenskan in 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024, reaching a total of 27 league titles, while reaching the Champions League group stage in the [[2021–22 UEFA Champions League|2021–22]] edition and reaching the knockout stages of the [[UEFA Europa League]] in [[2019–20 UEFA Europa League|2019–20]], under the management of [[Jon Dahl Tomasson]] and [[Henrik Rydström]].

==Colours and crest==
Because of the club colours, sky blue and white, the club is often known by the nicknames ''Di blåe'' ([[Scanian dialect|Scanian]]: The Blues) and ''Himmelsblått'' (The Sky Blues). The home kit is sky-blue shirts, white shorts, and sky-blue socks. The away strip is black. Various alternative kits have been used for European play such as an all-white kit introduced in the 1950s, and re-used for the 2011 and 2012 seasons, and all-black kits with sky-blue and golden trimmings were used for the European campaigns in 2005 and 2013.<ref name="Törner, Ole; p. 40">Törner, 2005, p. 40.</ref>

The club colours have not always been sky blue. The predecessor club BK Idrott wore blue and white striped shirts and white shorts, and this kit was still used for the first six months of 1910 after Malmö FF was founded. This was later changed to red and white striped shirts and black shorts to show that Malmö FF was a new, independent club. This colour combination has on occasion been used in modern times as the away kit. The present sky-blue kit was introduced in 1920.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 16, 20.</ref> Since 2010 a small [[Flag of Scania|Scanian flag]] is featured on the back of the shirt just below the neck.<ref name="2010 kit">{{cite web|url=http://www.mff.se/Aktuellt/Nyheter/2009-12-09_Jubileumstrojan.aspx |title=Nu släpper vi matchtröjan för jubileumssäsongen! |work=mff.se |publisher=Malmö FF |date=9 December 2009 |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |trans-title=The kit for the jubilee season is now released! |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120922154049/http://www.mff.se/Aktuellt/Nyheter/2009-12-09_Jubileumstrojan.aspx |archive-date=22 September 2012 }}</ref>

The crest of Malmö FF consists of a shield with two vertical sky-blue fields on the sides, and one vertical white field in the middle. Underneath the shield is "Malmö FF" spelled out in sky-blue letters with a sky-blue star under the text. In the top area of the shield is a white horizontal field over the three vertical fields. The abbreviation of the club name "MFF" is spelled out with sky-blue letters in this field. On top of the shield are five tower-like extensions of the white field. The present shield crest made its debut on the shirt in the 1940s.<ref>Smitt, 2009, p. 20.</ref> There were other crests before this but they were never featured on the shirt. While the first crest was black and white, the second crest was red and white in accordance with the club's main colours between 1910 and 1920.<ref name="Törner, Ole; p. 40"/>

In the original shield logo the full club name and sky-blue star beneath the shield were not featured, they were later added when club chairman [[Eric Persson]] discovered while abroad that people had trouble identifying what city the club came from just by looking at the club crest. The six-pointed star has its origins from the oldest seal of the City of Malmö.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

For the 100th anniversary of the club in 2010, the years 1910 and 2010 were featured on each side of the shield on a sky-blue ribbon behind the shield.<ref name="2010 kit" />

Malmö FF is the only Swedish club to wear [[Star (sport badge)|two stars]] above its crest, representing at least 20 domestic championship titles. The stars are only featured on match shirts and are not part of the club's crest.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Karlsson |first=Kristopher |date=28 January 2014 |title=MFF anmäls för dubbla stjärnor |trans-title=MFF is reported for double stars |url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/kadO09 |access-date=30 March 2023 |work=Aftonbladet |language=sv}}</ref>

Malmö FF has several fan clubs, of which the largest is the official fan club [[MFF Support]], founded in 1992. MFF Support describes itself as "a non-profit and non-political organization working against violence and racism".<ref name="Support"/> The chairman of MFF Support is Thelma Ernst.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/fotboll/mff/article1547427/Han-ar-MFF-Supports-nya-ordforande.html |title=Han är MFF Supports nya ordförande |work=Sydsvenskan |date=21 September 2011 |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |trans-title=He is MFF Support's new chairman |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104134726/http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/fotboll/mff/article1547427/Han-ar-MFF-Supports-nya-ordforande.html |archive-date= 4 November 2011 }}</ref>

There are also several smaller independent supporter groups. The most prominent of these is Supras Malmö, which was founded in 2003 by a coalition of smaller [[ultras]] groups and devoted fans.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://sm03.wordpress.com/manifest2/ | title=Manifest | work=suprasmalmo.se | publisher=Supras Malmö | date=12 January 2009 | access-date=22 August 2012 | language=sv | trans-title=Manifesto}}</ref> The name "Supras" is derived from the words ''supporters'' and ''[[ultras]]''&nbsp;– the latter indicating that the group is inspired by a fan culture with roots in southern Europe. Supras Malmö is the most visible group in the main supporter stand at [[Eleda Stadion]], marking its presence with banners, flags and choreography. Another group with similar goals is Rex Scania. MFF Tifosi 96 (MT96) is a network of supporters creating [[tifo]]s for special occasions and important games.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mff-familjen.se/mff-tifosi-96/vad-aer-mt96/ |title=Vad är MT96? |work=mff-familjen.se |publisher=MFF Familjen |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |trans-title=What is MT96? |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314222831/http://www.mff-familjen.se/mff-tifosi-96/vad-aer-mt96/ |archive-date=14 March 2012 }}</ref>

===Rivalries===
{{main|IFK Göteborg–Malmö FF rivalry{{!}}Mesta Mästarmötet|Helsingborgs IF–Malmö FF rivalry{{!}}Skånederby|IFK Malmö–Malmö FF rivalry{{!}}Malmö derby}}
Because of geographical proximity, minor rivalries exist with [[Trelleborgs FF]] and [[Landskrona BoIS]], which are both also located in Scania.<ref name="Törner52-54">Törner, 2005, pp. 52–54.</ref> The main rivals of the club are [[Helsingborgs IF]], [[IFK Göteborg]] and [[IFK Malmö Fotboll|IFK Malmö]]. The [[Helsingborgs IF and Malmö FF rivalry|rivalry]] between Malmö FF and Helsingborgs IF has existed since Malmö FF were promoted up to [[Allsvenskan]] in the 1930s, and is primarily geographic, since both teams are from [[Scania]] in southern Sweden. The [[IFK Göteborg and Malmö FF rivalry|rivalry]] with IFK Göteborg relates more to title clashes; the two are the most successful clubs in Swedish football history and the only two to have appeared in European cup finals, IFK Göteborg in the [[UEFA Cup]] in [[1982 UEFA Cup Final|1982]] and [[1987 UEFA Cup Final|1987]] and Malmö FF in the [[European Cup]] in [[1979 European Cup Final|1979]].<ref name="Törner52-54">Törner, 2005, pp. 52–54.</ref>

During the 2000s, a rivalry between Malmö FF and [[FC Copenhagen]] has grown stronger. The rivalry is mainly about geographical proximity and the fact that the teams have played against each other more frequently. During a match in the [[Royal League]] in 2005 at [[Parken Stadium]] in Copenhagen, the meeting was given greater significance than before, this after Danish police, for unclear reasons, handed out blows with batons to Malmö supporters in the stands.

The [[IFK Malmö and Malmö FF rivalry|rivalry]] with IFK Malmö is both geographical and historical. The two clubs come from the same city and used to play at the same stadium in the early 20th&nbsp;century. The supposed actions of board members of IFK Malmö in 1933, revealing Malmö FF's breaches of amateur football rules to the [[Swedish Football Association]], further contribute to the competitive tensions between the two clubs.<ref name="Smitt25-26"/><ref name="1934 scandal at malmo.se"/><ref name="1934 scandal at sydsvenskan.se"/> IFK Malmö have not played in Allsvenskan since 1962; thus matches between the two sides are rare.<ref>Törner, 2005, pp. 58–59.</ref>

==Stadia==
{{See also|Malmö IP|Malmö Stadion|Eleda Stadion}}
Malmö FF's first stadium was [[Malmö IP]], which was shared with arch-rivals [[IFK Malmö]]. The team played here from the founding of the club in 1910, until 1958. The stadium still exists today, albeit with lower capacity, and is now used by women's team [[FC Rosengård]], who were previously the women's section of Malmö FF. Capacity in 2012 is 7,600, but attendances were usually much higher when Malmö FF played there. For the last season in 1957, the average attendance was 15,500. The club's record attendance at Malmö IP is 22,436 against [[Helsingborgs IF]] on 1 June 1956.<ref name="40-69">{{cite web|url=http://www.mff.se/Ditt_MFF/Om_klubben/Historik/1940-1969.aspx |title=1940–1969 |work=mff.se |publisher=Malmö FF |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120918133947/http://www.mff.se/Ditt_MFF/Om_klubben/Historik/1940-1969.aspx |archive-date=18 September 2012 }}</ref> The stadium is still considered a key part of the club's history, as it was here that the club were founded, played their first 47 seasons, and won five Swedish championships.<ref>Smitt, 2009, pp. 12–13.</ref>

A new stadium was constructed in [[Malmö]] after Sweden was awarded the [[1958 FIFA World Cup]]&nbsp;– this saw the birth of [[Malmö Stadion]].  Malmö FF played their first season at the stadium in 1958. The first time the club won the Swedish championship at the stadium was in 1965.<ref name="40-69"/> An upper tier was added to the stadium in 1992.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sydsvenskan.se/malmo/article324352.ece |title=Malmö kan få tre nya badhus |work=Sydsvenskan |date=21 May 2008 |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |trans-title=Malmö can get three new aquatic centres |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810182009/http://www.sydsvenskan.se/malmo/article324352.ece |archive-date=10 August 2011 }}</ref> The club enjoyed the most successful era of their history at this stadium, winning ten out of twenty Swedish championships while based there. The stadium originally had a capacity of 30,000 but this was lowered to 27,500 due to changes in safety regulations. The club's record attendance at the stadium was 29,328 against Helsingborgs IF on 24 September 1967.<ref>Smitt, 2009, p. 50.</ref>

In July 2005, Malmö FF announced that work was to begin on [[Eleda Stadion]], designed for 18,000 seated spectators and 6,000 standing. The stadium can also accommodate 21,000 as an [[All-seater stadium|all-seater]] for international and European games in which [[Terrace (stadium)|terracing]] is not allowed. Construction started in 2007 and was finished in 2009. The new stadium is located next to Malmö Stadion. Although there was still small-scale construction going on around the stadium at the time, the stadium was inaugurated on 13 April 2009 with the first home game of the 2009 season against [[Örgryte IS]]; Malmö FF's [[Labinot Harbuzi]] scored the inaugural goal in the 61st minute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sydsvenskan.se/sport/fotboll/mff/article426117/Storseger-for-MFF-i-hemmapremiaren.html |title=Storseger för MFF i hemmapremiären |work=Sydsvenskan |date=14 April 2009 |access-date=22 August 2012 |language=sv |trans-title=Big victory for MFF in the first home game |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111119030923/http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/fotboll/mff/article426117/Storseger-for-MFF-i-hemmapremiaren.html |archive-date=19 November 2011 }}</ref> The first Swedish championship won at the stadium occurred in 2010, when the club beat [[Mjällby AIF]] on 7 November in the final game of the season 2–0.

==European record==
{{Main|Malmö FF in European football}}

Malmö FF has a rich European legacy with participation in UEFA competitions since 1964. The club's best European performance was in the 1978–79 season, when they reached the final of the [[UEFA Champions League]] (then European Champion Clubs' Cup), where they were beaten 0–1 by English Champions [[Nottingham Forest]]. This makes Malmö FF the only Nordic club to have reached this far in the European Cup or Champions League.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1978/|title=UEFA Champions League 1978/79 - History|publisher=UEFA|language=en|access-date=4 August 2017|archive-date=24 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170724134704/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=1978/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Malmö FF is also the only Nordic club to have been represented at the [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cup]] (succeeded by [[FIFA Club World Cup]]) in which they competed for the [[1979 Intercontinental Cup|1979]] title.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=50152/profile/history/index.html|title=Malmö FF according to Uefa|date=26 December 2019|access-date=27 December 2019|archive-date=25 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180625210911/http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/teams/club=50152/profile/history/index.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Malmö FF is one of the four Swedish clubs to have participated in the UEFA Champions League group stages, along with [[IFK Göteborg]], [[AIK Fotboll|AIK]], and [[Helsingborgs IF|Helsingborg]].

==Ownership and finances==
Malmö FF made the transition from an amateur club to fully professional in the late 1970s under the leadership of club chairman [[Eric Persson]].<ref>Smitt, 2009, p. 168.</ref> The club is an open member association, and the annual general meeting is the highest policy-making body where each member has one vote, therefore no shares are issued. The meeting approves the accounts, votes to elect the chairman and the board, and decides on incoming motions. During the successful 2010's era [[Håkan Jeppsson]] was the chairman after taking over after [[Bengt Madsen]] in 2010, prior to his sudden death in 2018. The club's legal status means that any interest claims are made to the club and not to the board of directors or club members. Daily operations are run by a managing director who liaises with the chairman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mff.se/Ditt_MFF/Om_klubben/~/media/MFF/Dokument/Arsredovisningar/MFFStadgar.pdf |title=Stadgar för Malmö Fotbollförening |work=mff.se |publisher=Malmö FF |access-date=22 August 2012 |year=2012 |language=sv |trans-title=By-laws for Malmö Fotbollförening |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120922154544/http://www.mff.se/Ditt_MFF/Om_klubben/~/media/MFF/Dokument/Arsredovisningar/MFFStadgar.pdf |archive-date=22 September 2012 }}</ref>

Malmö FF have been the subject of several films. Some examples are Swedish football documentaries ''Blådårar&nbsp;1'' and ''Blådårar&nbsp;2'', which portray the club from both supporter and player perspectives during the [[1997 Allsvenskan|1997]] and [[Superettan 2000|2000]] seasons.
