Football is popular in Sweden
Football is by far the most popular sport in terms of the number of participants in Sweden, with approximately 1.2 million active Swedish footballers in 2022. This means that one in five Swedish athletes has chosen football as their sport.
The Swedish league has consistently produced top-quality players. Great footballers come from Sweden — Henrik Larsson, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Freddie Ljunberg and Olof Mellberg — who all made their debut in the Allsvenskan. The most recent potential stars to emerge from the Allsvenskan are Aleksander Isak, Emil Forsberg, and Victor Lindelof.
Betting on the football championship in Sweden
The Swedish league is wide open - it is where the less highlighted leagues have the advantage over the big leagues. The Allsvenskan is incredibly unpredictable as the teams are very close in quality, and in the last decade, six different teams have won the league.
The current champion is Malmö FF, who won the title in the 2020 and 2021 seasons. In the last season, Malmö won the title on goal difference ahead of AIK and only two points ahead of the third place. The champions enter the first round of the Champions League qualifying stage, while the other two podium teams plus the cup winner join the second round of the Conference League (all Conference League bets).
Recommended bets on the Allsvenskan in2024
There is definitely passion in this league. This is especially visible in derbies like Stockholm, as it is the only city in Sweden that has several major clubs in the Swedish Premier League — AIK (in the north of Stockholm), Hammarby (in the south of the Swedish capital) and Djurgarden (located in the city centre).
The most successful is Malmo FF with 23 championships, followed by Gothenburg-based IFK with 18 championship trophies. A recommended bet is to bet on games with goals.
