Wikipedia - Allsvenskan

Allsvenskan (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈâlːˌsvɛnːskan]; lit.'All-Swedish', also known as Fotbollsallsvenskan [ˈfûːtbɔlsˌalːsvɛnskan], lit.'Football All-Swedish') is a Swedish professional league for men's association football clubs. It was founded in 1924 and is the top tier of the Swedish football league system, operating on a system of promotion and relegation with Superettan. Seasons run from late March or early April to the beginning of November, with the 16 clubs all meeting each other twice, resulting in a 30-match season, for a total of 240 matches league-wide.

Allsvenskan is ranked 23rd in the UEFA coefficients of leagues based on performances in European competitions over the last five years. Allsvenskan is currently ranked third highest of the leagues in Scandinavia after Norway and Denmark. The current champions are Malmö FF, who won the title in the 2024 season.

The three teams with most Swedish championships are Malmö FF (24), IFK Göteborg (18) and IFK Norrköping (13).

Including the 2024 season, Allsvenskan has been running for an unbroken streak of 100 seasons. Unlike other European football leagues, the Allsvenskan did not experience an interruption in play during World War II due to Swedish neutrality.

History

Allsvenskan started in the 1924–25 Allsvenskan season and the first winner was GAIS. The one-league twelve team Allsvenskan replaced the Svenska Serien, consisting of a southern and northern group that was held before. In 1931, the league started to decide the Swedish football champions.

In the early years, Norrland and Gotland teams were not allowed to play on higher levels in the league system, which was gradually changed to include the Norrland and Gotland teams on higher levels.

For the 1959 Allsvenskan, the season start was changed from autumn to spring to be played in one calendar year. In 1973, it was expanded to contain 14 teams. In the 1970s, Malmö FF, under the lead of Spanish Antonio Durán and later English Bob Houghton, won five Allsvenskan and managed to proceed to the 1979 European Cup Final, which they lost to Nottingham Forest.

From the 1982 season, the league introduced a play-off to determine the Swedish football champions. In the late 1980s, Malmö FF were dominant, winning the league five times in a row, but only two Swedish championships. The 1990 season saw the introduction of three points per win. The play-off season years were followed by two years of continuation league, named Mästerskapsserien.

The 1993 season saw a return to the classical format, again with 14 teams. IFK Göteborg won five Allsvenskan league titles in the 1990s.

In the early 2000s, Djurgårdens IF won three titles (2002, 2003 and 2005). In 2004, Örebro SK lost its place in the league due to financial problems, and Assyriska FF got their place. Since 2008, the league consists of 16 teams.

The Sweden Allsvenskan is the premier professional football league in Sweden, showcasing the country's top clubs and talent. Established in 1924, the league operates on a promotion and relegation system with the Superettan, the second tier of Swedish football. The Allsvenskan typically runs from April to November, featuring a round-robin format where each team plays 30 matches, facing every other team twice—once at home and once away.

The tournament is known for its passionate fan base, rich history, and competitive spirit, with clubs like Malmö FF, AIK, and IFK Göteborg among the most successful in its history. The league not only serves as a platform for domestic talent but also as a stepping stone for players aspiring to make their mark in international football.

Each season culminates in a thrilling race for the championship, with teams vying for the coveted title and a place in European competitions. The Allsvenskan is celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, with matches often drawing large crowds and creating an electric environment in stadiums across the country. As a key part of Sweden's sporting culture, the Allsvenskan continues to inspire a new generation of footballers and fans alike.
