IF Elfsborg hosted family day at Boras Zoo

Our Swedish IF Elfsborg hosted its annual Elfsborg Day in Borås Zoo. Despite the bad weather, 4,000 visitors showed up to visit the exotic animals and meet Elfsborg’s players. 

There were a lot of families who came along with their kids who, in addition to a full day in Borås Zoo, could test on penalty kicks, get a face painting and of course meet all the Elfsborg players. “A super successful day, as usual”, concluded Johan Sjöberg, who is the person responsible for the event.

In 1926, the team made its debut in the Swedish top flight and ten years later, during the season of 1935/36, IF Elfsborg won the first league title. Two more titles followed quickly in the seasons of 1938/39 and 1939/40. After such a successful period, the team and the fans needed to wait 45-years, until IF Elfsborg won the league title for the next time in 2006.
