Representitive players from the all clubs in Sweden come together to
form the Swedish Elks!
Already in 1997, the Elks made their first appearance , when they met
Denmark's Vikings in Helsingborg. It took a good seven years for the
next Elks match when the Elks defeated the touring North London Lions by
11 points in Malmö in 2004.
 Since then, the Elks make
regular appearances on the intenational footy scene. In 2005, Denmark
was played in an amazing game at Farum, Denmark, with the game played
out as a draw. During the following two years, the Elks competed with
Denmark and Germany in the Tri-Nations Cup with matches played in all
three countries.
 Sweden also
competed in the 2005 EU Cup in London, where they were unlucky to lose
to Belgium in the final. However, they were able to go one step better
in the 2007 EU Cup, where they defeated Germany in the final.
Strong growth in the Swedish league has seen the Elks competing even in
the 2008 Australian Football International Cup in Melbourne. The team
did a tremendous effort and came 12th out of 16 competing teams, just
one place behind Denmark. All this in their first appearance at the
International Cup. Coming back, the Elks are already preparing for the
next IC in 2011!

In conjunction with the coaching staff of the Swedish Elks, AFL Sweden recruited a new team manager for the Swedish national team and he is no nobody to the game and footy in Sweden. No other than co-founder of the oldest team in Sweden, Ingmar 'Terry' Lundquist will take over the role from club mate Andy Svensson.
"It is with great pleasure that we can announce Terry as a team manager and we wish him best of luck in his new role. Terry has done tremendous work for the development of footy in Sweden throughout the years and I am sure that he will help in reaching new goals for the Elks," says AFL Sweden president Jörg Pareigis. The timing could not have been better - it is Terry's birthday today and we congratulate him to his big day!
