Allsvenskan

Allsvenskan (Swedish pronunciation: ['âl??sv?n?skan]; English: the All-Swedish, also known as Fotbollsallsvenskan, English: the Football All-Swedish) is a Swedish professional league for men's association football clubs.

It is the top tier of the Swedish football league system and has been contested since 1924. The current champions are BK Häcken.

The league consists of 16 teams, which play each other twice, once at home and once away. The top two teams at the end of the season are automatically promoted to the UEFA Champions League, while the third-placed team goes into a playoff with the winner of the Swedish Cup. The bottom two teams are relegated to Superettan, the second tier of Swedish football.
