As recently as 2024, Rosengård won its 14th Swedish Championship title after winning 25 of 26 matches. This year, the reality is completely different for the Malmö side.

Kif Örebro, who finished third in the elite group, awaits in the qualifiers. The first match will be played in Örebro on November 19, with the return leg in Malmö three days later.

Now we just have to change the schedule this week, because we will be in the women's Swedish Championship next year, says team captain Thea Sørbo to Viaplay.

Before the final round, Rosengård needed to win away against Brommapojkarna and for IFK Norrköping, three points ahead, to lose at home to AIK.

But Rosengård failed to do its part. Despite dominating the first half, the score was 0-0. In the second half, Frida Thörnqvist scored twice for BP.
