‘It’s all just wonderful’: minnows Mjällby win unlikely Swedish title for first time

Mjällby is a fishing village in southern Sweden home to ~1400 people. Hällevik, the village where their stadium is located, is home to ~1500. The municipality these villages are in has a population of just over 17,000.

Having comfortably sealed the title yesterday with three matches remaining, Mjällby AIF are also just two points away from breaking the all-time points record in a single season.

It’s been a historical season for the new Allsvenskan champions in more ways than one.
