The publisher was heard – next year it will be enough to finish fourth in the Super League to reach the Allsvenskan. A playoff is being introduced.

Saturday's decisive match between IFK Norrköping and Örgryte will be the last according to the model that has long applied to the Allsvenskan qualifiers.

In November next year, the qualifying round will begin with the third and fourth place teams in the Super League competing in a two-game playoff. The winner will then face team 14 from the Allsvenskan in a doubleheader.

The reason for the change is that the Allswedish season is being adapted to the international match calendar.

In November next year, the final two rounds of the Swedish league will be played after the national team break.

The Superettan will end before the national team window. In order not to have to wait weeks for the qualifiers, a playoff will be introduced, writes TV4 Football Channel.

The proposal was voted through at today's Board of Representatives meeting.
