Nike, however, releases a new AIK kit every year, before the start of the new season.

| 1975–77 |  StadiumSince the 2013 season, AIK play their home games at the Nationalarenan, which also houses the Sweden national team. The decision which arena would replace Råsunda, the club's home up until the 2012 season, was made by a vote of the club's members, held in 2011, which resulted in a large majority favoring Nationalarenan over Tele2 Arena.SupportRivalriesAIK's main rival is Djurgården, also formed in 1891 in Stockholm, just three weeks after AIK. Widely considered the fiercest rivalry in Swedish – and arguably also Nordic – football, the fixture between the clubs is known as Tvillingderbyt. AIK also maintains a strong animosity towards the third major Stockholm side Hammarby. The club's biggest rival outside the Stockholm urban area is IFK Göteborg, followed by Malmö FF.AttendancesIn 2025, AIK had an average attendance of 30,023, the biggest in Allsvenskan, and in Scandinavia, beating FC Köpenhamns record from 2022/2023. In 2006 AIK had an average attendance of over 21,000, the highest in Sweden that season. In 2007 AIK had an average attendance of over 20,000.AIK have had the highest average attendance 41 times, the most of all clubs in Sweden of all time, second is city rival IFK Göteborg with 23 times. AIK finished the 2013 season with an average attendance of 18,900, the highest number in Scandinavia. That was also the first season with the new arena. In 2018, AIK broke the record for most sold tickets in an Allsvenskan game in the derby against Hammarby two weeks before the game was played. Club cultureThe club's entrance music and hymn is "Å vi e AIK", a Swedish-lyric version of a 1971 song, "The Last Farewell", originally performed by its co-writer, the British-Kenyan folk singer Roger Whittaker. The recording that has been used as AIK's entrance music since the mid 00s was released in 2002, an arrangement somewhat closer to Elvis Presley's 1976 cover of the song.PlayersFirst-team squadRetired numbers
