Fortuna FFGround: Rydebäcks Idrottsplats Visits: 1 Date: 4th August 2023 Match: Foruna FF - Halmia 0-1 (Division 3 Sydvästra Götaland) Attendance: 60 My summer holidays are coming to an end and deciding to not go abroad, I looked at domestic fixtures. My choice for Friday evening was to be Fortuna FF v IS Halmia in Division 3 Sydvästra Götaland. Fortuna FF was founded in 2007 as a merger between Listorps IF and Rydebäcks IF. The club play at Rydebäcks IP which is situated just south of Helsingborg. For me it takes around 80 minutes by car and at 18.30, 30 minutes prior to kick-off I parked my car outside the ground. Situated among residential houses it was actually a bit tricky to find the entrance but I eventually managed to get inside. Fortuna FF were promoted from Division 4 as best runner-up in Skåne last season but this season they are fighting to avoid relegation. Halmia on the other hand are looking for promotion back to Division 2. With no proper stands or even benches to sit on Rydebäcks IP is quite a boring place to visit but at least the pitch had natural grass. The actual game was ok with chances for both teams but as we approached the final 10 minutes it was still 0-0. With a great counter-attack the visitors from Halmstad managed to score in the 82nd minute and 0-1 was to be the final score. My visit to Rydebäcks IP means I have, once again, visited every ground in Skåne in the top five divisions. ![]() Players and officials entering Kick-off South End West side West side North End East side Fortuna fans East side East side East side View of play |
