FC Rosengård (Swedish:[ruːsɛnɡoːrd]), known asMalmö FF Dam ([ˈmâlːmøːɛfɛfdɑːm]) until 2007 and laterLdB FC Malmö until 2013, is a professional football club based inMalmö,Scania, Sweden. The team was established as Malmö FF Dam in 1970. It started out with playing 7 seasons in theDivision 1 (until 1987), but has played inDamallsvenskan in since it formed in 1988. The team has won the league a record 14 times, the latest in2024.[1] As of the end of the 2015 season, the club ranks first in the overall Damallsvenskan table.[2] FC Rosengård play their home games atMalmö IP inMalmö. The club it merged with,FC Rosengård 1917, has bothmen's and women's teams.[3]
On 7 September 1970 the board of Malmö FF decided to start a women's team as part of the main club. The team was called Malmö FF Dam – the worddam meaning lady – to distinguish the team from the men's division of the same club.
In 1986 the club won theSwedish Women's Football Division 1 for the first time. The Division 1 was Sweden's highest division until 1988 when theDamallsvenskan was formed. It took three seasons for the club to win the newly formed Damallsvenskan in 1990 and more success followed in 1991, 1993 and 1994. Malmö FF Dam would then finish as runners-up for seven consecutive seasons (from 1996 to 2002).
In April 2007, Malmö FF Dam started a rebranding of the team, including a new team name, jerseys, and logo. The team was renamed LdB FC Malmö on 11 April 2007. This meant that the club fully withdrew from Malmö FF and became a club of its own. The change of name was related to a 24 millionSEK sponsorship deal with Swedish skincare firm Hardford; whose leading brandLait de Beauté (lit. beauty milk) became the name of the club.[4]
Under the LdB FC Malmö name, the club won the Damallsvenskan championship in 2010, which qualified them for the2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League. A successful title defense campaign followed in the 2011 season. In the final match of the 2012 season they suffered a home defeat (0–1) toTyresö FF, the result meant Tyresö FF were champions due to better goal difference.[5] In 2013, they clinched the title once again, with a (2–3) win away against Tyresö FF being the turning point of the season.
In October 2013, LdB FC Malmö merged withFC Rosengård 1917, adopting the name of the latter.[3] The Damallsvenskan title wins of 2014 and 2015 added to the 2013 title (as LdB FC Malmö), made the club three times in a row title winners for the first time in its history.
