1937 – The Founding of Stockholm Students’ Sports Club (SSIF)
On March 16, 1937, the Stockholm Students’ Sports Club (Stockholms Studenters Idrottsförening, SSIF) was established. One of the founding members and the club’s chairman for its first decade was Sven Thofelt, a renowned modern pentathlete. The Stockholm Student Union Federation was represented on SSIF’s board by two members. The club’s activities were funded by allocating one SEK from each student’s union fee to SSIF. The association’s motto was:
“Physical education in some form for all students in Stockholm”
In practice, however, SSIF’s primary focus was on competitive sports. First, SSIF was represented by teams and individuals in competitions and league systems at the district, national, and international levels. Second, SSIF organized the Stockholm Academic Championships in athletics, along with various sports competitions between the city’s different universities, and facilitated competitive exchanges with other student unions. For instance, SSIF fielded teams in the Stockholm leagues for bandy, football, and handball while also organizing internal leagues among the different universities in these sports. In fencing, where talented students excelled, the association aimed to establish international representation.
According to SSIF’s program for the 1937/38 academic year, the association focused on the following sports: bandy, athletics, fencing, handball, orienteering (considered particularly suitable for academics), swimming, skiing, tennis, and women’s sports. The latter then included gymnastics and basketball. Once a year, all students were given the opportunity to participate in sports during Student Sports Day, which was described in the 1937/38 program as:
“A promotional competition where all students can participate.”
Competitions were held at Östermalm Sports Ground during the 1930s and 1940s. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, SSIF’s focus remained consistent, with competitive sports – especially athletics – remaining central to its activities. However, the association expanded its program to include new sports such as table tennis, boxing, wrestling, modern pentathlon, ice hockey, and badminton. During the 1950s, the term “women’s sports” fell out of use, and female students were increasingly expected to participate in sports like badminton.
The 1960s – Winds of Change Begin to Blow
In the 1960s, SSIF underwent a significant transformation in its focus. According to the statutes adopted by the SSCO Student Council in November 1967, SSIF’s purpose was defined as follows:
“To primarily promote interest in and provide opportunities for exercise among students at SSCO-affiliated unions, while also advocating for increased opportunities for physical activity. Secondarily, to support competitive sports and necessary training programs.”
While there remained space for competitive sports – athletes like Ronnie Hellström, a long-time goalkeeper for the Swedish national football team, continued to compete in academic championships – the organization was clearly embracing a new direction.
The 1970s – A Shift Toward Recreational Sports
In 1967, a parliamentary decision enabled SSIF to receive state funding for recreational activities aimed at students. In 1973, SSIF also merged with Stockholm University Student Union’s Sports Committee (SUSIDUS), which became part of SSIF. Since then, Stockholm University’s student union has not pursued independent sports activities, instead fostering a close collaboration with SSIF. As a result, the focus of SSIF’s activities underwent a dramatic transformation during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The 1980s – Inauguration of Frescatihallen
Throughout the 1980s, SSIF fully embraced a new policy, shifting its focus from elite sports to becoming a “recreational sports association.” The guiding principle was “Sports for All,” as outlined in SSCO’s 1980 annual report:
“Through student sports, we aim to encourage students and provide opportunities for continuous exercise, closely integrated with preventive student healthcare.”
During this decade, the association expanded its offerings by adding several new sports and organizing numerous competitions each year, all while emphasizing a commitment to recreational activities. In 1978, SSIF opened a sports shop on Artillerigatan, where its office (staffed by nine employees) was also located.
In 1977, SSCO, in collaboration with Stockholm University, established the Frescati Stora Skuggan Foundation (later known as the Aktiverum Foundation) with the goal of constructing a sports hall at Frescati campus. The National Board of Public Buildings (Byggnadsstyrelsen) approved plans for a fitness facility west of the Arrhenius Laboratory in the autumn of 1980, and construction commenced in May 1982. By March 1983, the hall – originally named Aktiverum – was completed. Funding came from the Wallenberg Foundation (Wallenbergsstiftelsen), supplemented by loans, and the facility was owned by the Aktiverum Foundation, with architect Ralph Erskine at the helm of its design.
The foundation was jointly governed by SSCO and Stockholm University, while SSIF was responsible for the sports activities and initially held majority ownership of the management company overseeing the facility’s operations. In 1989, the sports hall was renamed Frescatihallen, with the Stockholm University Student Union (SUS) becoming the majority owner of the operating company, AB Frescatihallen.
The 1990s – A Shift Toward Gym and Group Training
In the 1990s, as the popularity of gym and group fitness classes surged, SSIF quickly established itself as a leader in this growing trend. The association’s aerobics classes became a major hit, drawing large crowds. By 1999, Frescatihallen underwent renovations to accommodate a state-of-the-art gym, which was set up in the eastern wing of the hall, beneath Hall E, traditionally used for ball sports.
The 2000s – Challenges and Declining Enrollment
During the 2000s, the gym and group training sector became increasingly competitive. Large commercial fitness chains expanded rapidly, making it difficult for SSIF, as a smaller player, to keep up. At the same time, membership in both gym activities and several of the association’s sports programs began to decline. The association faced challenges in attracting new students, leading to an aging member base. As a result, many sports and training groups had to be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.
The 2010s – Financial Struggles and Digitalization
In February 2014, SSIF faced a critical financial situation, with forecasts indicating that bankruptcy was imminent. In response, the association embraced digitalization to improve efficiency and streamline operations. The focus shifted towards modernizing the organization by utilizing online platforms for membership management, marketing, and other areas. Despite these financial challenges, SSIF continued to offer a wide range of activities, including dozens of sports, ensuring that students could still enjoy discounted participation through collaborations with student unions like SUS.
In the latter part of the 2010s, despite efforts to stabilize the financial situation, membership numbers continued to decline slightly, although the association posted a modest financial surplus. Marketing strategies were refined, with increased efforts across social media, websites, and university events to attract new members. Partnerships with other student organizations also played a vital role in promoting SSIF’s activities.
The 2020s – Navigating the Pandemic and Resilience
The 2020s began with one of the most challenging periods in SSIF’s history. Like many other organizations, SSIF was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which, coupled with a significant change in training concepts – from traditional courses to a training card system – negatively impacted membership numbers. During this time, the association faced substantial financial challenges and had to reduce its staff from five to just two employees. Key facilities such as GIH and Frescati Sports Center, along with SSIF, were forced to adapt their offerings to ensure members could continue their training. For example, SSIF implemented remote work practices, shifted activities online, and modified training programs to meet new safety guidelines.
Membership numbers dropped sharply, from 3,497 to 1,797, but SSIF remained committed to offering a broad range of activities while adhering to the new training concept of training cards—a development made in response to evolving member needs. Despite initial resistance to this new approach, SSIF worked diligently to ensure it aligned with members’ preferences and facilitated a smoother transition.
As the situation began to improve in 2021, SSIF saw a gradual recovery. Though membership had declined to 1113, the association posted a modest profit, signaling a return to stability. SSIF’s collaboration with the Stockholm University student union (SUS) and the university’s personnel department remained strong, bolstered by new marketing initiatives and projects that helped rebuild the member base.
By 2022, membership had grown, and SSIF continued to expand its offerings, including the opening of the new SSIF Studio 2 facility. However, rising operational costs – such as rent increases and facility expansions – resulted in a modest profit for the 2022/2023 fiscal year, followed by a larger loss in the subsequent year, primarily due to significant investments in facility improvements, staff expansion, and the cessation of pandemic-related financial aid. Despite these financial challenges, SSIF’s membership continued to grow, reaching 2,615 by the end of the 2023/2024 fiscal year. This growth underscored the association’s sustained popularity among students and fitness enthusiasts alike, even in the face of adversity.
The 2020s demonstrated SSIF’s resilience and adaptability. Through strategic initiatives and increased campus visibility, SSIF remained committed to providing a wide range of activities for students, ensuring sports remained accessible and engaging, even in challenging times. With 35 different sports available, the association continues to be a vital part of student life and fitness in Stockholm.

Eating disorder policy
An eating disorder is defined as problems associated with eating, appetite and weight and can be detrimental to both physical and mental well-being. As some people develop eating disorders in connection with sports, SSIF has an eating disorder policy to prevent eating disorders and promote healthy exercise ideals here at SSIF.
- SSIF strives to create a calm and unpretentious sports environment with the aim of promoting healthy training ideals.
- Exercise with us should be healthy and joyful for the benefit of the individual. This applies to participants as well as instructors and staff.
- If we suspect that an individual who trains with us has an eating disorder, it is our responsibility to act and attempt to help the individual in question. We then act according to the following action plan:
- In the event of unhealthy exercise or suspicion of an eating disorder, the office contacts the individual.
- When talking to the individual, we offer support and information about health-promoting exercise.
- If the situation is unchanged after the conversation and the office believes that the training that takes place at SSIF is dangerous for the individual, the person will be suspended from their membership.
- With our action plan, we intend to responsibly help individuals who we believe are at risk of becoming or are already ill with an eating disorder. Our action plan is based on the recommendations of national organizations.
