Kolding IF

Kolding Idræts Forening, commonly known as Kolding IF, is a Danish professional association football club based in the city of Kolding, Southern Denmark. The team competes in the Danish 1st Division, the second tier of the Danish football league system.

Founded in 1895, Kolding IF is one of Denmark's oldest football clubs and has participated in the top flight on two occasions, during the 1982 and 1983 seasons. In 2002, the club entered into a joint first-team collaboration with local rivals Kolding Boldklub, forming Kolding FC. This arrangement lasted until 2011, when Kolding FC merged with Vejle Boldklub to create Vejle Boldklub Kolding. Following the dissolution of the merger in 2013, Kolding IF resumed independent operations and re-established its own senior team.

The club traditionally plays its home matches at Autocentralen Park (formerly known as Kolding Stadion) and wears white shirts with blue trim.
