Kosta IF Sets New Record with Unbeaten Streak as Ambitions for Promotion Soar

In a remarkable achievement for Swedish football, Kosta IF has set a new national record with 55 consecutive matches unbeaten, marking a transformative period for the club that has its sights set on climbing through the tiers of Swedish football. Coached by Denis Velić, Kosta IF's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary as they transitioned from a struggling division 6 team to currently leading division 4 in 2025 with a significant twelve-point lead. In 2023, they clinched the division 6 title, followed by a division 5 championship in 2024, establishing a strong foundation for their ambitious goals ahead.

Under the financial backing of billionaire Torsten Jansson, Kosta IF is not just celebrating its unbeaten streak but also plans to build a sports empire capable of competing at higher levels. The team’s unbeaten run has been characterized by dominance on the field, reflected in their impressive goal difference of 58-6 this season. Coach Velić attributes this success to a tightly-knit community effort, emphasizing the invaluable support from local residents who contribute in various capacities to bolster the team's efforts.

Velić expressed pride in the team’s record but reiterates the primary focus on future matches and securing the league title. The squad comprises experienced players, such as former Allsvenskan professionals Stefan Karlsson and Månz Berg, which adds a competitive edge as they pursue their ambitions.

Looking ahead, the goal is clear: reach Ettan, the third tier of Swedish football, by 2028. With their current trajectory and community support, Kosta IF is well-positioned to realize this ambitious target, embodying the spirit of perseverance in lower division football.
