Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna Göteborg (officially IFK Göteborg Fotboll), commonly known as IFK Göteborg, IFK, or simply Göteborg, is a professional football club based in Gothenburg, Sweden, competing in Allsvenskan (2022), the top tier of the Swedish football league system. This unofficial IFK Göteborg fan flag (Swedish: inofficiell IFK Göteborg flagga) consists of the team's official logo and a background with diagonal blue-and-white stripes derived from the logo.
The IFK Göteborg logo draws deep inspiration from the rich heraldic history of the city of Gothenburg. At its core, the logo is based on the city's official coat of arms, which is a symbol of great significance. Positioned at the top of the logo is the abbreviation of the team name, "IFK." The central element of the emblem is a majestic lion set against a field adorned with blue and silver diagonal stripes. This lion is a nod to the heraldry of the House of Folkung, a prominent Swedish noble family. Notably, the lion holds the Three Crowns of Sweden, a cherished emblem that symbolizes the union of the three historical kingdoms of Sweden. In essence, the IFK Göteborg logo seamlessly combines elements of city pride, historical heritage, and a sense of regal grandeur, serving as a powerful representation of the club's identity and its deep-rooted connection to Gothenburg.
