Norrvalla Fotbollförening (abbreviated Norrvalla FF) is a football club from VörÃÂ¥, Finland. The club was formed in 1996 and their home ground is at the VörÃÂ¥ Centralplan.
Norrvalla Fotbollförening was founded in 1996 after several meetings between representatives from the VörÃÂ¥ IF, Oravais IF, Maxmo Sportklubb and Hellnäs Bollklubb clubs. The idea was to create an organisation specializing in football.
The formal decision to found the club was finally made at a meeting held on 24 November 1996. A business plan was approved with the following objectives for 1997:
â To achieve an efficient organization<br/> â To create their own identity so that all might know: "This is my football club"<br/> â To create a working relationship with the parent clubs<br/> â To create a sustainable economy for the new club<br/> â On a sporting basis to create a solid platform to stand on for the coming year
Over the years the club has achieved these initial goals although many challenges remain. Norrvalla FF has its base at the Norrvalla Folkhälsans Rehabilitation Centre, where the bulk of training takes place, especially during winter, spring and autumn. Matches are played on artificial turf.
In their early years Norrvalla FF played in the lower levels of Finnish football. They played 3 seasons in the third tier, the Kakkonen (Second Division), in 2007 to 2009. However the 2009 season ended in disappointment when they were relegated back to the Kolmonen (Third Division).
Norrvalla Fotbollförening run a number of teams including adult teams and a number of junior teams for boys and girls.
Former Finland national football team captain Tim Sparv played for the club during his youth, in a team that had four players in the youth national team.
