In the early years, the club was also playing bandy and other sports.
In March 2013, IF Sylvia and IFK Norrköping started a cooperation where Sylvia would act as a nursery for youth players from IFK Norrköping. Sylvia would also be able to loan players from IFK Norrköping at short notice.[2]
At an annual meeting in October 2025, it was decided that the club should seek a merger with Lindö FF, which in practice meant that Sylvia would be dissolved as its own club. In February 2026, the Swedish Football Association decided to transfer Sylvia's place in Division 2 to Lindö FF.
