History

The club was formed in 1942. It has earlier had many more sports on its programme, such as athletics, bandy and ice hockey.
They became affiliated with Manchester United after Bojan Djordjic was transferred to United in 1999. However, this deal has since expired as Brommapojkarna believed it would weaken talks with other Premier League clubs. The club now has a similar affiliation with local United rivals Manchester City, where former BP youth and Sweden International John Guidetti marked his trade, until his transfer to La Liga club Celta de Vigo in 2015.
The club was promoted to the Allsvenskan for the first time on 12 November 2006 after beating BK Häcken in the promotion-relegation play-offs. On 16 November 2008, the team reached Allsvenskan for the second time after a 1–1 draw against Ljungskile SK. It guaranteed remain in Allsvenskan for 2010 season despite losing 3–0 to home match against IFK Göteborg on 23 October 2009. In 2010, BP came in last and were relegated to Superettan, where they played in 2011 and 2012. In 2012 they finished 2nd in Superettan and were promoted to Allsvenskan for the third time.
