🤯 Fishing village could see its team crowned national champions in Europe | OneFootball

A team from a fishing village with about 1,500 inhabitants is in great shape to make history in European football.

The team in question is Mjällby AIF, founded in 1939 and now marching strongly towards their first-ever Allsvenskan title, the Swedish league.

They have 50 points with nine rounds left out of the 30 in the 2025 "Suecão"—which kicked off in March.

They are eight points ahead of Hammarby. The biggest national champion, Malmö, is third with 37 points.

They beat Göteborgs Atlet- & Idrottssällskap, also known as GAIZ, last Monday (25th), playing away from home.

Mjällby AIF is from the locality of the same name, which belongs to the municipality of Sölvesborg.

They play their home games at Strandvallen, a stadium that can host up to 7,000 fans and is located in Sölvesborg.

They have a good average attendance, with about 5,300 people present at their recent home matches.

The big surprise of Allsvenskan 2025 has been playing in the top division consecutively since 2020.

They had already put together impressive campaigns and almost secured a spot in the Conference League playoffs last season.

Their greatest achievements so far are their two Superettan (second division) titles, won in 2009 and 2019.

They've lost ONLY ONE game this season

Besides the "Suecão," Mjällby is also fighting for the Svenska Cupen, the Swedish Cup.

This tournament follows the "standard calendar" in Europe, which means the current edition is 2025/2026.

Mjällby advanced to the next round after eliminating Onsala BK with a 2-1 win in extra time.

They were already runners-up in the tournament, losing to Häcken in the final of the 2022/2023 edition.

Their only defeat of the season came against AIK, 2-1, back in the eighth round of the Allsvenskan.

In other words: that's 13 games unbeaten in the domestic league. And fourteen if you count both competitions together.

Will this "fairy tale" have a happy ending?
