Qualification for UEFA Champions League
UEFA Europa League

The Fotbollsallsvenskan is the highest football league in Sweden and consists of 16 teams. The season starts in April and lasts until November. It replaced the Svenska Mästerskapet as a national league in 1925 , in which the national champions were determined in the cup mode. In the UEFA five-year ranking of the European leagues, Allsvenskan ranks 22nd for 2019.

mode

The 16 teams meet each other twice during the season. The league leaders after the final 30th matchday are Swedish champions and receive the Lennart Johansson Cup . He is eligible to play in the UEFA Champions League qualifying the following summer . The teams in positions two and three will qualify for the UEFA Europa League .

At the end of the season, the bottom two of the table were relegated directly to the Superettan , while the bottom three played in a relegation round in a two-legged match on the third-placed table in the second division for relegation. By increasing the league to 16 teams after the 2007 season, only the bottom of the table rose directly from the 2007 season.

Teams

In the 2020 season the following teams will play in the Allsvenskan:

history

Until 1948

Before 1925, there was no national league in Sweden. The Swedish championship was therefore organized in cup mode. First of all, the regional champions were played in four regional championships, Östsvenskan (eastern Sweden), Mellansvenskan (central Sweden), Västsvenskan (western Sweden) and Uppsvenskan (northern Sweden). These then played for the Swedish championship title, with the final (with three exceptions) always taking place in Gothenburg or Stockholm . The four championships were combined to form Fotbollsallsvenskan in 1925, Allsvenskan meaning "The whole of Sweden". However, the winner of the Allsvenskan was only considered an official Swedish champion from 1931. The name Allsvenskan was somewhat misleading until 1955, as teams from Norrland (i.e. north of Stockholm) were not allowed to play in the top league for a long time, as the southern Swedish teams did not want to take on the long travel times and the associated travel costs. The same applied to the island of Gotland, which was initially excluded from playing in the top division. Only since the 1950s have all clubs been allowed to play in the Allsvenskan . Another point of contention was whether football players should be amateurs or professionals. Officially, the amateur statute applied, which means that it was not allowed to play for money (with the exception of an expense allowance). Malmö FF violated this statute in 1934 and had to be relegated. However, it seems that covert business was quite common at the time. Torbjörn Andersson believes that since the 1920s, every football player has received roughly half of his income from football. Income was often indirect, that is, it consisted of suits, travel, etc.

1948–1958: The golden era

The Allsvenskan experienced a first blooming phase after the Second World War. Winning the gold medal at the 1948 Olympics marked the beginning of a golden era in Swedish football. In the hard-fought final at Wembley, the Swedes won 3-1 against Yugoslavia after goals from Gunnar Nordahl and Gunnar Green. At the World Cup in Brazil in 1950, the team reached 3rd place. At the football World Cup in 1958 , the Swedish national team finally managed to advance to the final after beating the Soviet Union in the quarter-finals and beating West Germany 3-1. How was this possible? The deciding factor was certainly that Sweden was not affected by World War II. While other countries suffered losses that also negatively impacted sport, Sweden was able to build a sporting movement in the shadow of war. Gunnar Nordahl was one of the stars in this phase of Swedish football. Soon after winning the Olympic medal in 1948, he moved to Italy abroad. Other players followed in the years that followed.

Gunnar Nordahl as well as Nils Liedholm and others were part of the strong IFK Norrköping team during the 1948 tournament, which dominated the Allsvenskan in those years: IFK won the championship in 1948, 1952, 1956 and 1957. The other dominant team at this time was Malmö FF, which won the Allsvenskan in 1949, 1951 and 1953. A look at the national team during the 1950 World Cup makes it clear that there were several Malmö players in the Swedish squad.

In the newly created European Cup, the Swedish teams were eliminated early on. Norrköping took part in the competition twice and failed both times in the first round. Only Djurgårdens IF was able to reach the quarter-finals in the 1955/56 season.

1958–1971: Between amateurism and professionalism

The runner-up in 1958 also marked the end of the very successful post-war period for the Swedish national team. However, the success had a stimulating effect on the Allsvenskan, since 1959 with 13,369 spectators per game, a new attendance record was set. In 1959, the Allsvenskan also switched to the scheme that is still valid today, in which the calendar year is played. The main reason was the climatic conditions in Sweden.

At the beginning of the 1960s IFK Norrköping still dominated Swedish football, but the 1963 title would also be the last for almost 30 years. After that, the weight shifted in favor of the clubs from the three large cities Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, from which all champions came from 1964 to 1971. However, the 60s also came up with a little surprise: Östers IF , who had been promoted to the Allsvenskan in 1968, was instant champion.

Internationally, Swedish football did not play a major role in the 1960s. While other football leagues had long since begun professionalization and commercialization, Sweden had an amateur statute until 1967. The introduction of the European Champions Cup had also created a stage on which the best teams could compete, but at the same time these games also became a major source of income for the clubs. The lack of success for Swedish clubs meant that the Allsvenskan fell behind.

1972–1981: Åtvid and Öster

At the beginning of the 1970s, the weight shifted in favor of the small town of Åtvidaberg (south of Linköping ). In the city of 10,000 inhabitants, Facit AB had grown up in the field of office machine construction, and city and company lived here in a kind of symbiosis. As a result, the Åtvidabergs FF football club also experienced an upswing. The entire club was patriarchal and was able to entice players from other cities with the financial means Facits, for example the club regularly used Degerfors IF . As a result, the club rose to the Allsvenskan in 1967 and won two championships in 1972 and 1973.

In the European Cup, ÅFF did a respectable job. In the Cup Winners' Cup 1971/72, the team was able to defeat FC Chelsea first and made it to the quarter-finals, where they lost to BFC Dynamo . In 1973/74 they failed very closely against FC Bayern Munich after a penalty shoot-out in the first round and in 1974/75 they only ended in the quarter-finals against FC Barcelona .

A few years later , the Östers IF club from Växjö experienced a similar high flight as Åtvidaberg . Between 1978 and 1981, Öster was champion three times. However, Öster could not keep up with Åtvidaberg in the European Cup of National Champions: Öster took part three times and never made it past the first round. Things went a little better in the UEFA Cup, where the club was able to reach the third round in the 1976/77 season.

The most successful club during this period was without a doubt Malmö FF. Di blåe not only won the Allsvenskan five times, but were even able to advance to the final of the European Cup in 1979. The success was based on a new game system that the Englishmen Roy Hodgson and Bob Houghton had exported to Sweden: a defensive football that, although unattractive, could be used very effectively against stronger teams. In the final they met Nottingham Forest , which won the game 1-0.

1982–1992: UEFA Cup winner IFK Göteborg

In the early 1980s, the young trainer Sven-Göran Eriksson took over the then relatively unsuccessful IFK Göteborg . Eriksson largely copied the Houghton and Hodgson system that they had used so successfully with Malmö. This initially led to the fact that the IFK was able to secure three championships in a row (1982-1984), and the club also won the Allsvenskan in 1987. In addition, Blå-vitt could also come up with successes in the European Cup. The club made it to the quarter-finals in 1984/85 and only failed in 1985/86 in the semi-finals against FC Barcelona on penalties. The club's greatest success, however, was undoubtedly winning the UEFA Cup twice: for the first time in 1982, when Gothenburg beat Hamburger SV 4-0, and for the second time in 1987 against Dundee United. This makes the IFK the only Swedish club that can boast international success.

From 1982 the Allsvenskan also tried a play-off system. Until 1990, the champions were determined after a simple round-trip round in the semi-finals and finals. From 1986, however, it became clear that the number of spectators was declining: On average, only 4,000 spectators watched a Allsvenskan game. Perhaps the spectators found the Allsvenskan with the preliminary round and subsequent play-off as too long. Whatever the reasons, the league reformed the system again in 1991 and 1992, when the Allsvenskan was reduced to 10 clubs and the best six teams played the so-called championship round after a simple round trip, in which the champion in a simple back - and the second half of the season was determined. In 1993 the concept was changed again: The Allsvenskan was expanded to 14 teams and the team that has the most points after the rounds are the Swedish champions.

1993–2001: The Bosman judgment and its consequences

While the success of Gothenburg in the 1980s was already obvious, this turned into total dominance in the 1990s: From 1993 to 1996 the IFK won all championships. These national triumphs also enabled stronger professional structures in the club. Bad investments and the commitment of players with excessive salaries, however, increasingly emptied the treasury of IFK Gothenburg. In addition, some players ended their careers or dropped out due to injuries.

After Gothenburg dominated, Halmstads BK , AIK Stockholm and HIF from Helsingborg took turns winning the championship. HIF won the last championship of the 1990s and also qualified for the Champions League on penalties against Milan. The success was due to the signing of strong coaches in the form of Åge Hareide (later coach of the successful Malmö FF team) and Nanne Bergstrand (later master coach of Kalmar FF) as well as new economic opportunities.

In Europe, the 1990s were relatively successful for the Swedish teams. IFK Gothenburg took part in the 1992/93 Champions League, but retired as second in the group. In 1994/95 the team won their group, but lost the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich very close (0-0, 2-2). The IFK also took part in the Champions League in 96/97 and 97/98, but had to be content with last place in both cases. In 1999/2000 AIK Stockholm managed to take part in the much sought-after competition before Helsingborgs IF qualified. Both clubs only achieved the last place in their group.

Sweden's accession to the European Union and the Bosman ruling in 1995 seem to have played an important role in this creeping decline of Swedish football . This opened up the player market for large foreign clubs, which are now more than ever looking for talent in the Swedish leagues. The first player to move abroad from Allsvenskan on a free transfer was Christer Fursth, who went to 1. FC Köln. The problem with this was that until 1995 Swedish clubs got money if a player moved abroad. These transfer fees were no longer applicable. In the end, the players were rewarded with higher salaries, while the clubs were among the losers. Especially the so-called training clubs were often left empty-handed when the player left the club. Proponents of the Bosman ruling note, however, that the old system with its transfer fees amounted to a kind of serfdom, and therefore believe that the new system is preferable to the old. At the same time, there is relatively consensus that the competitiveness of Allsvenskan has decreased compared to other European countries (see above).

Since 2001: professionalization and commercialization

Floodlight game between IFK Göteborg and GAIS in September 2008

The 2000s were characterized by attempts to at least keep up with comparable leagues (e.g. Norway or Austria). For the first, a licensing procedure was introduced in 2001 ('elitlicens'), in which every club must, among other things, show a positive financial account at the end of the year. In addition, the Allsvenskan was more commercialized, ie the income increased significantly. Both spectator and sponsorship income tripled between 2000 and 2011. An important reason for the increase in audience income was the construction of new stadiums, which was associated with better marketing opportunities (e.g. sale of the stadium name). The television money has also increased and continues to rise and in 2016 will amount to just under € 1.1 million for the last and just under € 2 million for the master.

Overall, Allsvenskan sales in 2012 amounted to approx. 130 million euros and were thus behind comparable leagues such as the Austrian Bundesliga (150 million euros), the Danish SAS league (160 million euros) or the Scottish Premier League (170 million euros). . Not to mention the first division in Belgium (270 million) or the Netherlands (400 million). In a 2015 study by UEFA, Allsvenskan ranked 22nd place in Europe for salary costs per club with a good € 5 million (for comparison: the German 2nd Bundesliga was in 11th place with just under € 14 million) .

Thus, the Allsvenskan is currently far from keeping up with the top clubs in comparable leagues. However, Allsvenskan can count on higher income from television money from 2020. According to an article by Dagens Nyheter, television revenues will rise from the equivalent of € 26 million to around € 60 million per year.

Due to the increased income, the players' salaries have also increased. If an Allsvenskan player earned an average of € 55,000 per year in 2000, in 2008 it was already € 80,000. By 2017, income had risen to around € 100,000 per player. In 2016, Anton Tinnerholm and 2nd Enoch Kofi Adu (both Malmö FF) had the highest incomes with around € 250,000 and € 200,000 respectively. It should be noted, however, that there is a strong pay gap between the clubs.

In qualifying for the Champions League, Swedish teams often had no chance. So was z. B. the master Malmö FF 2005 the Swiss Thun. The same fate befell Djurgården in 2006 against Ruzomberok (Slovakia), IFK Göteborg against FC Basel in 2008, Kalmar against Debrecen (Hungary) in 2009 and AIK Stockholm against Rosenborg Trondheim (Norway) in 2010. In 2012 Helsingborgs IF failed to Celtic Glasgow, 2013 Elfsborgs IF lost to same club. This negative trend was broken in 2014 when Malmö FF qualified for the Champions League after beating RB Salzburg 3-0. In 2015, the club achieved the same with a 2-0 win over Celtic Glasgow.

The picture was similar in the UEFA Cup and the Europa League. In 2005 Djurgårdens IF failed to Cork City (Ireland), Gefle IF lost to Llanelli AFC (Wales) in 2006 and IFK Göteborg to Derry City in the same year, Elfsborgs IF lost to St. Patrick (both from Ireland) in 2008 and Elfsborg failed in 2011 , this time to Ålesund from Norway. A similar picture emerged the following year when Elfsborg lost to Horsens from Denmark. However, new hopes sprang up in the 2016/17 season when the Östersunds FK club unexpectedly survived the group stage against clubs like Athletic Bilbao and Hertha BSC and moved into the play-offs.

So you can see that Swedish teams are often eliminated by clubs that play in leagues that - judging by the size of the country in question - should actually be beatable. So the question that one keeps asking in the Swedish media is how to raise the level so high that the Allsvenskan clubs can at least advance further in European competitions than before. An alternative could be a different distribution of television revenues. So far these have been distributed relatively evenly. This creates a relatively balanced league, but also a league without corresponding teams that can assert themselves in Europe. One option would be to change this model so that the top teams get more money and can thus afford better players or keep top performers. On the other hand, in this case there is a risk of a football league based on the Norwegian pattern, where Rosenborg Trondheim has won the Tippeligaen 13 times in a row. Because if the Allsvenskan has a trademark, it is, among other things, its balance: between 2000 and 2010, eight different clubs won the league. Some experts like Anders Lingblad ( Svenska Dagbladet ) see the Allsvenskan as the most even league in which anyone can beat anyone.

Together with 23 other national professional league associations, Fotbollsallsvenskan is a founding member of the international World Leagues Forum , which was founded in Zurich in February 2016 , the aim of which is, among other things, to bundle the interests of the professional leagues and their common views in front of FIFA and other institutions from sport and To represent politics.

Violence in Swedish football

Swedish football has been accompanied by spectator violence since its inception. B. the game between Örgryte IS and IFK Göteborg in 1913 had to be canceled due to crowd riots. However, from the 1930s and well into the 1980s, hooligans were largely unknown in Sweden. However, the emergence of so-called “companies” in the 1990s rekindled the violence. The case of Tony Deogan in the summer of 2002, when he was killed in a fight between fans of IFK Göteborg and AIK Stockholm, received a lot of attention. According to an article in Svenska Dagbladet , the propensity for violence among football fans has increased in recent years. In Stockholm alone, the newspaper reports, there are around 150 potentially violent football fans. According to a police investigation, there are around 600 violent football fans across Sweden. Approx. a third of them are among the fans of Hammarby IF and AIK Stockholm. 75% have several criminal records. An article in Dagens Nyheter describes the average Swedish football hooligan as a man around 25 years old. Among those who have been banned from stadiums, one in three has a criminal record for drug use, one in four for ill-treatment and one in two general crimes.

In March 2014, the debate about violence in Swedish football was rekindled when a Djurgårdens IF fan was severely mistreated during fan riots at the season premiere in Helsingborg and succumbed to his injuries shortly afterwards. In autumn 2016 there were riots again when the renowned Helsingborgs IF team lost the relegation against the third in the Superettan, Halmstads BK, and thus relegated from Allsvenskan. In the course of the investigation, the police identified 19 hooligans who had stormed the interior of the stadium.
