Trelleborgs Fotbollsförening, often called Trelleborgs FF or just Trelleborg, is a Swedish football club. It is located in the city of Trelleborg. The club started on December 6, 1926.
Trelleborgs FF plays in Superettan. This is the second-highest football league in Sweden. The team has played 17 times in Allsvenskan, which is Sweden's top league. They even played in the UEFA Cup once. In the 1994–1995 season, they beat the team Blackburn Rovers.
Trelleborg has been known as a team that does well with fewer resources. They have a smaller fan base but make the most of what they have. The team is often praised for its great goalkeepers. They also have a strong defence and play very well at home. In 2006, they set a new record in Superettan. They went the longest time without letting an opponent score a goal.
The club is connected to the Skånes Fotbollförbund. This is a local football association.

Club History
Reaching the Top League and European Play
Trelleborg's football club first moved up to Sweden's top league in 1984. The team had its best years in the early 1990s. In 1992, they finished third in Allsvenskan. This was their highest ever finish. The next year, in 1993, they finished fourth. This allowed them to play in the UEFA Cup.
Even though many thought they would be moved down, the team played well. They used a strong defensive style. This style was effective but not always exciting to watch. Their home stadium, Vångavallen, even got a nickname: "Tjongavallen." This was because of their long-ball playing style. After a tough 2001 season, the club was moved down to a lower league.
Recent Seasons and Promotions
The club moved up to the top league again in 2003. However, they were moved down right away. This happened after the club hired a new manager, Ole Mørk. He wanted the team to play a more exciting, short-passing game.
In 2005, TFF finished eleventh in Superettan. The year 2006 was much better for the team. Trelleborg won the Superettan league with three games left. This meant they moved up to the 2007 Allsvenskan. In 2007, they just barely avoided being moved down again. They stayed up because they had a better goal difference than other teams.
In 2008, Tom Prahl returned as head coach. He was the coach during their successful years in the early 1990s. Trelleborg finished tenth that season. In 2009, the team finished ninth after playing very well at the end of the season. In 2010, the team changed its playing style. They tried to play a more creative and fun game. They finished fifth, which was their best spot since 1993.
However, in 2011, they were moved down again. They let in 64 goals in 16 matches and finished second to last. In 2012, Trelleborg was moved down from Superettan. The next year, they finished third in Division 1 (Swedish football). This meant they did not move back up to Superettan. In 2014, they only avoided being moved down from Division 1 because of their goal difference. But the next year, they won the league. This allowed them to play in the 2016 Superettan.
In 2017, Trelleborg finished third. They then played in a special playoff against Jönköpings Södra IF. Trelleborg won 3–1 over two games. This meant they moved up to Allsvenskan after six years. But their return was short. They finished last in the 2018 Allsvenskan and were moved down again.
