Von Rosens Cup
The Von Rosens Cup was a challenge cup in Swedish football . It is named after Clarence von Rosen , the first chairman of the Swedish Football Association.
The award was given from 1904 to the winner of the final game of the Swedish championship . When the championship title in the Allsvenskan was awarded, the first in the league received the cup.
When it was discovered in November 2000 that von Rosen had campaigned for National Socialism , the award of the trophy was stopped. It was replaced by the Lennart Johansson Cup , named after long-time UEFA President Lennart Johansson , which was first awarded in 2001.
