Karlstad BK
Encyclopedia
Karlstad BK is a Swedish
football club located in Karlstad
in Värmland County
.
. As of 2011 the club currently plays in Division 1 Norra
, which is in the third tier of Swedish football. This was not the case in recent years -- from 2000 to 2007 KBK were playing in Div 4 Värmland which was the fifth tier and then the sixth tier from 2006. Promotions in 2007 and again in 2009 have enabled the club to restore some pride, especially as they pipped local rivals FBK Karlstad
to the play-off spot. They play their home matches at the Våxnäs IP and Tingvalla IP
in Karlstad.
The club is affiliated to the Värmlands Fotbollförbund
.
* League restructuring in 2006 resulted in a new division being created at Tier 3 and subsequent divisions dropping a level.
