Djurgårdens Idrottsförening, usually shortened as Djurgårdens IF – commonly known as Djurgården ( or informally Djurgår'n ); abbreviated as DIF – is a Swedish sports club with several departments, located in Stockholm. The club is named after the island Djurgården in Stockholm, which originally was a Royal Hunting Park. A direct translation would be “Deergarden” or “Animalgarden”. The word “Djur” means animal but has the same derivation as the word “Deer”. “Idrottsförening” means “Sports Club” or “Sports Association”.
