History

It was on Thursday, January 7, 1988 that Jenny BK and VAIS wrote sports history in Västervik. Both clubs were gathered for the annual meeting in their respective premises in Folkets Hus, and it was that evening that Västerviks FF (VFF) was formed.

Jenny BK decided to close with 138 yes votes and two abstentions. At VAIS, it was a tougher tag. 98 members said yes to the closure, 33 said no, four ballots were blank and two were invalid. After the clubs' annual meetings, there was a joint gathering in the Theater Salon, where Västerviks FF was formed. The association's first chairman was Christer Svedebäck. The Board also had this composition: Per Larsson, Vice Chairman, Björn Adolfsson, Secretary, Lennart Pettersson, Treasurer, Arne Johansson, Sture Johansson, Sven-Åke Lindblad, Jan Svensson, Kjell Söderqvist and Ove Thörnlöf.

Chairman of the women's section: Benny Pettersson, men's section: Tomas Östin, youth section: Hans Svensson, finance section: Lennart Pettersson, marketing section: Sven-Åke Lindblad.

VFF's first budget ended at SEK 1.5 million. The club expected to have 35 teams in training and games during the premiere year. Sten-Bertil Myhrén became VFF's first senior coach, Benno Magnusson second coach and Tord Eriksson team manager. The women's team was led by Marie Bengtsson, Nils Ragnarsson and Classe Jacobsson. The club suit turned all yellow.[2]
