The club is named after the Norse god Freyr, Frej in Swedish, and has a picture of a viking with a horned helmet in their crest.
Since 1968 IK Frej has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club played in Superettan, the second tier of Swedish football, between 2015 and 2019. They play their home matches at the Vikingavallen in Täby.
In 2021, after several years of financial difficulties, IK Frej withdrew from Division 1 to join Division 4 instead. Affiliated club Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, that had provided resources in forms of funds and loan players for several years, decided to form Hammarby Talangfotbollsförening that took the place of IK Frej in Division 1.
IK Frej are affiliated to the Stockholms Fotbollförbund.
