SVT has gone through the police reports from all 240 Allsvenskan matches last season and notes that at least 7,756 pyrotechnic devices were lit on the stands.
IFK Göteborg (1,790), Djurgården (1,049) and Hammarby (1,046) account for more than half of the pyrotechnics used.
We must be self-critical, both about how we as organizers can work to prevent it and how we can find a sustainable way forward, says Jonas Arlmark, safety manager for IFK Göteborg, to the TV channel.
At the same time, only 425 police reports were filed for the use or possession of pyrotechnics at the Allsvenskan matches last season.
We have a number of things we need to improve for next year (2025) and this is one of them, says Per Engström, unit manager at the police's National Operational Department (Noa), to SVT.
In December, the police and the elite football clubs' interest organization, Svensk Elitfotboll (Sef), published their respective annual reports. It was then revealed that the total amount of pyrotechnics decreased slightly in Allsvenskan last year compared to the 2023 season, writes SVT.
