The club has a size that splits opinion. They have over 500 young players, but it's not all that is right with their academy. Many parents pay high costs to get their child to participate in the club's academy and attend special training sessions.
There has also been criticism about IF Brommapojkarna giving too many young players to big European clubs who they don't always bring back to the club's academy.
But IF Brommapojkarna can still point to their successes. They have a long list of players who have graduated from their academy and are now playing in the top European leagues.
Examples include Anders Limpar, John Guidetti and Albin Ekdal, who all came from IF Brommapojkarnas academy.
It's however important to note that most of these players do not return to the club's academy.
