Background
The club was started in 1932 by 21 sports enthusiasts from Ryssby and Målaskog. The first football field was at Tesås and was inaugurated in August 1932 with a match against Mörhult IF. The home side won 3-1.[2]
In the early 1940s operations moved to Ryssby and a new name Ryssby Idrottsklubb was adopted. A few years later in 1948 the name was changed again, this time to Ryssby Idrottsförening. In 2004 the club began building a new clubhouse with new changing rooms, kiosk and stores. The new facility was opened in 2005.[3]
Since their foundation Ryssby IF has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club currently plays in Division 3 Sydöstra Götaland which is the fifth tier of Swedish football.[4] They play their home matches at the Lunnavallen in Ryssby.[5]
