The YWCA-YMCA of Sweden (Swedish: KFUK-KFUM Sverige) is the Swedish branch of the YMCA and the YWCA. It was established in 1966 following a merger of the formerly separate YMCA of Sweden and the YWCA of Sweden, which were originally founded in 1884 and 1885 respectively.[2]
In 2011, the organization decided to use the term KFUM Sverige during promotion where M now stands for människor ("people") instead of män (men) as before.[3]
The YWCA-YMCA of Sweden has 40,000 members in 140 local associations.[4] Several Swedish YWCA-YMCA associations have been successful in sport.
