Last Gais Coachs
The latest recorded coaching entry for Gais names Fredrik Jakob Holmberg, with a start date of 1 November 2021. The available chronology does not establish that he held the role, so his status is presented neutrally rather than as current. Stefan Jacobsson preceded Holmberg from November 2019 to December 2021.

Transfers Synthesis
Movement recorded around Gais across the recorded period shows a varied pattern rather than a single type of transaction. Incoming activity includes transfers, free-agent arrivals, loans and players returning from loans. Outgoing activity likewise includes loans, transfers and free-agent departures. Named arrivals connect Gais with Hammarby FF, Rosenborg, AC Horsens, Skála and Alaves, while listed destinations include domestic sides as well as FC Lugano, Sharjah FC and Los Angeles FC. Several players appear in more than one movement entry, including loan returns or subsequent loans, so individual entries represent separate events. The movements listed here are selective, showing the character and timing of recent squad change without establishing a complete transfer balance, total number of deals or financial outcome.
Leagues Gais has participated in
Gais have recorded participation in Allsvenskan through 2025, with the competition marked as recently active in the club’s participation record. Friendlies Clubs and Svenska Cupen are likewise recorded through 2025 and remain the latest recent competitions in the available history. Superettan is represented from 2016 through 2023 and is historical in this context, while Ettan - Södra appears only for 2022. The record confirms participation history rather than a current table position, season outcome or qualification status. It also shows Gais’ movement between levels of Swedish league football across the recorded period.
More about Gais
Gais, formally Göteborgs Atlet- och Idrottssällskap, is a Gothenburg sports institution founded in 1894. The Swedish club is identified with green and black, colors carried most famously by its traditional vertically striped shirts. Those colors underpin the nicknames Grönsvart, meaning the Green-Blacks, and Makrillarna, the Mackerels, while the club crest retains a classic monogram associated with its multi-sport origins.
Gais occupies an important place in Swedish football history. It was a founding member of the Allsvenskan and became the competition’s first official champion, adding to a record that includes further national championships and domestic cup honors. Its historical reach has also extended beyond Sweden, with European appearances that include Intertoto Cup competition. These achievements give the club a stature that reaches well beyond its current season-to-season participation.
Gamla Ullevi is Gais’ home stadium in central Gothenburg and a prominent part of the city’s football landscape. The venue is shared within a historic setting alongside other Gothenburg clubs, linking the modern matchday environment with the city’s long sporting continuity. Local rivalries and the Göteborgsalliansen tradition form part of that wider football culture, in which Gais has maintained a distinct green-and-black identity.
The club’s institutional character reflects the traditional Swedish sports-association model. Under the country’s 51 percent membership-driven structure, members retain democratic control of the board and the long-term direction, rather than the organization being defined solely by private ownership. Gais is also associated with a gritty, hard-working and direct football character, often connected to Gothenburg’s industrial and working-class roots. Its squad tradition combines a Swedish core with selective international recruitment, placing collective discipline and club identity ahead of a superstar-led model. Together, history, civic roots, distinctive colors and membership governance make Gais one of Sweden’s enduring football institutions.
