History
Background
BK Astrio was established on July 30, 1933 by Stig and Orvar Nilsson with Eric Andreasson, Torsten Lasson, and Donald Lasson. The founding members were impressed by the Austrian team Astrio Vienna when they played against Halmstads BK. They thought Astrio was unique and decided to register their team under that name.[1]
The team colors were red shirts with black pants and black socks. The team record for their first year was 5-2-1. The following season they played 33 matches with a 13-7-13 record. The team arranged for games to be played in Onsjö park with much success. By the end of the year, BK Astrio had 29 members. In 1935, the club started a handball division. In 1936, the team changed their colors and began to play with a green jersey and green socks. From 1937-1939, the club did not participate in any games due to World War II. The team resumed play in 1940. The team played for the first time in Division 2 Halland Halmstadserien Series and won it with 13-3-2 record. In 1941, the team advanced to Division 1 Södra Halland where they stayed until 1943. The team bounced in and out of Division 1 throughout the 1940s.[2]
On January 20, 1952 introduced Eric Andreasson in a new sports stadium located at Basta Liden later Jutarums IP. In 1953, the club was relegated to Division 3 but was promoted the following year. In 1957, the club was placed seventh in Division 1. On July 18, 1958, the youth division was formed. In 1968, the divisions were renamed and BK Astrio was subsequently placed in Division 5 South Halland. In 1974, the team advanced to Division 4.[3]
In 1980, BK Astrio made it to the Division 3 qualifiers to advance to Division 2. The team met with Vastra Frolunda, Trelleborgs FF and Alvesta and opened at home against Alvesta. Unfortunately, the team lost. During the 1991-1993 seasons, BK Astrio played in Division 2. During this time, the team brought up several talented players such as Mats Jingblad[4] and Erik Wahlstedt[5] who both played Allsvenskan and represented the national team. Other notable players are Stefan Jönsson and Nils Backstrom.[6]
In 1992, the club sold Erik Wahlstedt to IFK Göteborg which helped the financial security of the club. In 2000, a new stadium at Hallägra was constructed. On August 17, 2002, Söndrums IP was opened.[7]
