Mjällby Clinches First Allsvenskan Title With Three Matches to Spare

A 1,500-resident club reached Champions League qualifying through disciplined, data-led recruitment.

Overview

  • A 2–0 away win at IFK Göteborg sealed the championship, with goals from Jacob Bergström and Tom Pettersson.
  • Mjällby sits on 66 points, 11 clear of Hammarby, and can surpass the Allsvenskan single‑season points mark if it adds at least one win or two draws.
  • The title secures entry to UEFA Champions League qualifying, with El Correo reporting the club will start in the second round and face three ties to reach the league phase.
  • Based in Hällevik, the team operates on roughly 15% of Malmö FF’s budget and credits financial discipline under president Magnus Emeus and smart scouting for its rise.
  • Celebrations in Göteborg included a brief pitch incursion by traveling supporters that temporarily halted the match.
