Jernvallen
Sandvikens IF is a Swedish football club located in Sandviken . The club, formed 6 June 1918, has played 21 seasons in the highest Swedish league, but is in the second highest Swedish league, Superettan . Sandvikens IF are affiliated to the Gestriklands Fotbollförbund .[ 1]
As Sandviken is an industrial community, dominated by the steel and metal corporation Sandvik , the team has been much influenced by this. The name of the home ground, Jernvallen, would translate approximately as The Iron Ground, while the nicknames Järngänget and Stålmännen are self-explaining in Swedish ("The Iron gang" and "The Men of Steel"). Stålmännen has a double meaning, as it also is the plural form of Stålmannen , the Swedish name for Superman .
