In 1899 Levin became a member i
Örgryte Idrottssällskap (ÖIS). In 1902, at the age of 16, Levin became secretary of the board of ÖIS and joined the ÖIS 1st team that eventually went on to become
Swedish football champions three consecutive seasons (1904 to 1906). In 1905, Levin was elected secretary of
Göteborgs Fotbollsförbund, which he was later the President of from 1912 until his death in 1918. During the
1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Levin served as the Assistant Technical Delegate for the
athletics competition. In 1914, he was elected onto the Executive Board of the
Swedish Football Association. Levin was also actively involved in
Svenska Idrottsförbundet and the
Swedish Sports Confederation (Riksidrottsförbundet), which later also appointed him as a member to what was then its highest organizational body ("Överstyrelsen"). A football match against Denmark in the Gamla Ullevi stadium on 20 October 1918 was Hugo Levin's last sporting event. Suffering from a high fever and being largely bedbound, Levin nonetheless attended the match to welcome honorary guest crown prince
Gustav Adolf. Levin died on 26 October 1918 from bilateral
pneumonia in the
1918 flu pandemic. == Memory ==
