Göteborgs Atlet- och Idrottssällskap (meaning Gothenburg's Athletics and Sports Association), commonly referred to tát as GAIS or Gais,[A] is a Swedish football club based in Gothenburg. The club is affiliated to tát the Göteborgs Fotbollförbund and play their trang chủ games at Gamla Ullevi.[2] Fans also refers to tát the club as Grönsvart (green-black) or Makrillarna (the Mackerels) because of the traditional shirt colours.
GAIS is one of the oldest football clubs in Sweden. The club was a founding thành viên of Allsvenskan and also the first champions of the league. They have won a total of four national championship titles, five league championship titles and one national cup title. Even though GAIS have played 49 seasons in Allsvenskan they only spent six years in the top division during a 30-year period from 1976 to tát 2005, with another six seasons of that time spent as low as the third division. The club thus gained the reputation of being a yo-yo club, constantly going up and down through the league system. After their promotion in 2005 the club played seven straight seasons in Allsvenskan which was a feat not achieved since the degradation in 1955. After relegation in 2012 they finished seventh in Superettan in 2013, where they stayed until 2022 when they got relegated. However after achieving back to tát back promotions, GAIS will now play their 2024 season in Allsvenskan.
GAIS was founded 11 March 1894 at Ehdlunds Café in the Gothenburg thành phố centre. The founders had created the club for "patriotic purposes and to tát promote all kinds of sports". Its main activities were athletics and an assortment of strength sports. The football department was formed in 1897 and played their first official game against local rivals Örgryte IS in 1903. GAIS first appearance in the highest league at the time, Svenska Serien, was in 1915/16 where they finished in fourth place. In 1919 the club won its first national championship beating Djurgårdens IF away in the finals. The same procedure would be repeated in 1922, this time against another Stockholm team, Hammarby IF. GAIS won the first season of the new first tier league Allsvenskan in 1924/25, two points ahead of local rivals IFK Göteborg. The feat was to tát be repeated in 1926/27, this time three points ahead of IFK Göteborg. The league champions was not recognised as national champions until the 1930/31 season. GAIS won this year as well, six points ahead of AIK and IFK Göteborg.

During the 1930s GAIS slowly lost the dominance the club had exercised over Allsvenskan since its foundation and in 1938 the club was relegated. Having spent three years in the second division GAIS returned with a vengeance for the 1941–42 Allsvenskan where the club finished in second place. Later in 1942 they won Svenska Cupen for the first, and until today, only time.
The club then stayed in Allsvenskan throughout the 1940s and the early 1950s. They quite unexpectedly won their fourth national championship one single point ahead of Helsingborgs IF in the season of 1953/54. The clinching game was the last one of the season; a nail biting no score draw at Stadsparksvallen in Jönköping. The following year, equally unexpectedly, when the club finished third last and was relegated.
1960s and 1970s[edit]

GAIS returned to tát Allsvenskan the following 1955/56 season but from the mid-1950s the club lost its former continuity and never spent more than thở five years in a row in Allsvenskan until the 2000s. The club was relegated again in 1959 and spent four seasons in the second division only to tát return briefly to tát Allsvenskan for one year in 1964. After that relegation they immediately returned to tát Allsvenskan in 1966. GAIS then remained there during 1966–1975, except for one year in the second division in 1971. In 1975 the club made its first appearance in the UEFA Cup playing Śląsk Wrocław in the first leg. GAIS lost out to tát the Polish club after winning 2–1 at trang chủ but losing 2–4 away. The same year GAIS got relegated from Allsvenskan for the sixth time, this time due to tát scoring two goals less than thở Halmstads BK.
Thirty years of underperformance: 1976–2006[edit]
The relegation in 1975 would in retrospect prove to tát be a turning point for the worse in the history of GAIS. Unable to tát qualify for Allsvenskan in 1976, and furthermore losing the qualifying spot to tát now arch-rivals IFK Göteborg, they lost the position as Gothenburg's leading team that they had enjoyed throughout the early 1970s. The club then consistently failed to tát qualify for Allsvenskan during the following five years and in 1981 the club got relegated to tát the Swedish third division due to tát economical problems and a surprisingly weak performance by the squad. The future looked bleak after GAIS failed to tát return to tát the second division in 1982 but due to tát a massive performance in the latter part of the 1983 season the club secured the qualifying spot seven points ahead of IK Oddevold and then beat Mönsterås GoIF in the promotion playoffs to tát the second division.

In 1984 GAIS made what was to tát become one of the club's most spectacular signings to tát this date. Tunisian midfielder Samir Bakaou left his former club Étoile Sportive du Sahel to tát join the Gothenburg side and proved to tát be the injection of flair and energy that the club had been needing ví badly. With "the Black Pearl" as playmaker and notorious goalscorer GAIS was once again a force to tát be reckoned with and made it to tát the promotion playoffs to tát Allsvenskan in 1985, only to tát lose out to tát Djurgårdens IF after a penalty shoot-out in a highly controversial game. GAIS finally made it back to tát Allsvenskan in 1987 ending eleven long years of struggling in the lower divisions. For the second time in club history GAIS made it to tát the finals of Svenska Cupen as well, but lost out 2–0 to tát opposing side Kalmar FF.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s GAIS mostly fought for its survival in Allsvenskan. With the exception of a third place in 1989 the club had to tát settle for the lower half of the league table. Relegation followed in the season of 1992 and GAIS yet again had to tát face a long and tortuous walk through the Swedish second division. The nadir was reached in 1997 when the club had been relegated to tát the third division and ran a huge economical deficit while only finishing third in the league. This season would be the starting point of possibly the worst yo-yo experience any Swedish football club has ever experienced.

GAIS was promoted to tát the second division in 1998 and made it back to tát Allsvenskan after the season of 1999 by finishing in second place and defeating Kalmar FF in the qualifying round. After finishing second to tát last in the 2000 Allsvenskan the club continued its fall through the second division Superettan in 2001 and was relegated to tát the third division for the 2002 season. From there on things slowed down when GAIS failed to tát make a quick return during their first season there. Then after a hard-fought battle throughout 2003 against local competitors Ljungskile SK GAIS finally ended up winning the series by goal difference. In the promotion playoffs to tát qualify for Superettan the club faced Mjällby AIF and defeated them 2–1 away as well as trang chủ.
The next year GAIS signed Roland Nilsson as head coach, and with him at the lead the club finished in sixth place of the 2004 Superettan. During the following season, facing competition from newly relegated AIK and Östers IF, GAIS managed to tát finish third and got to tát play Landskrona BoIS in the promotion playoffs to tát Allsvenskan. After beating Landskrona 2–1 at trang chủ and drawing them 0–0 in an extremely tight away game, where GAIS forward Wilton Figueiredo got his second yellow thẻ after 30 minutes of play and manager Roland Nilsson substituted defender Kenneth Gustafsson for himself during the last 25 minutes, GAIS finally got to tát make their return to tát Allsvenskan. There they would spend their next seven seasons but after a strong fifth-place finish in 2011 they ended up in last place and relegated in 2012. They have since remained in the swedish second tier.
