FC Arlanda is a Swedish association football club from Märsta, Sigtuna Municipality.

The club was founded as Viña del Mar before taking the name Viña/Valsta FF. Ahead of the 2008 season the name was changed to FC Arlanda to avoid connotations with Valsta Syrianska.[2] The name was later reverted to Viña del Mar at the behest of club members belonging to the Chilean diaspora, but yet again changed to FC Arlanda ahead of the 2015 season.[3][4]

The men's football team reached the Division 2, the fourth tier of Swedish football, in 2021. Being relegated back to the fifth tier,[5] Arlanda reached the Division 2 again, placing 4th in 2023.[6] In 2024,[7] the team achieved a historic promotion to the 2025 Ettan, Sweden's third tier.[8][9]

The team also reached the first rounds of the Swedish Cup in 2017, 2022 and 2024.
