--History--

Assyriska Föreningen was founded in 1971 by Assyrian refugees from Turkey that belonged to the Syriac Orthodox Church. Three years later, a football team was started and played its first season in the lowest league in 1975. They advanced through the divisions and reached the second highest league, Division 1 (today replaced by Superettan), in 1992, as the first immigrant team ever. The team was however relegated in 1993, and the next few years, the club played every second year in Division 1 before managing to stay there for more than one season in 1997. They lost a promotion play-off against Örebro SK in 1999, but five years later, in 2004, Assyriska was promoted to Allsvenskan, the highest league, for the first time as Örebro SK was relegated due to economical problems. However Assyriska were themselves relegated after only one season in the Allsvenskan, where they finished last. Since then Assyriska had fallen into Division 1 North, but enjoyed a strong season in 2007 to finish champions and were promoted back into the Superettan.

--Fans--

Assyriska's fans spread throughout the world in over 80 countries. Acting as their national team, Assyriska represents the entire population of Assyrians throughout the world. The Zelge Fans are the official fanclub of Assyriska Föreningen. They were first started 1993 by a group of Assyriska supporters in Södertälje. They were known as Neshre, which means eagle (or eagles) in Assyrian. Three months after they launched, the club changed its name to Zelge Fans, Zelge meaning "sun rays" in Assyrian. The sun rays are a symbol of the Assyrian flag, which is where the idea to name the fan club Zelge Fans came from. Most of the members are Assyrians, but the Zelge fanclub also has many Swedish members.
