History
editThe sports club that became IK Sirius was founded on 9 August 1907 in the area of Svartbäcken in Uppsala, and got its current name on 5 April 1908 after having been discussing Svartbäckens IK and IK Spurt.[2] At the time, several sports club existed in the city of Uppsala: IFK Uppsala, IF Thor, IF Heimdal, and Upsala IF.[2] The sports club was founded for athletics, and took up cross-country skiing, bandy and football in 1908.[3] During the first half of the 20th century, the sports club has also practised canoeing, swimming, handball, ice hockey, tennis, wrestling, boxing, and orienteering.[3]
In 1980, the ice hockey department was dissolved.[4] In 1991, the two remaining departments of football and bandy split and choose to act as an alliance club using the same name.[5]
