The club did not qualify for the first season of Allsvenskan, and only reached that league twice between 1924 and 1944, being directly relegated back down to Division 2 both times.

The club did also play three seasons in the then third highest league, Division 3, between 1929 and 1932.

From 1944 on, the club became a stable Allsvenskan club.

In 1951, the team became runner-ups in Svenska Cupen after Malmö FF, this was the team's first Cup final.

The second great era took place in the 1950s and 1960s, winning Allsvenskan four times during the period.

In 1959, both the football team and Djurgårdens IF's hockey team won their respective Swedish Championships of Sweden's two most popular sports, a remarkable happening.
