the current swedish champions title is held by the winners of allsvenskan. the title has existed since 1896, although no club was given the title between 1926 and 1930. the 117 championships have been won by 19 different football clubs so far, with the top four title holders being malmö ff (20 titles), ifk göteborg (18 titles), ifk norrköping (13 titles) and örgryte is (12). clubs from the three largest cities in sweden, stockholm, gothenburg and malmö have held the title the majority of the seasons, 78 in total, but there is also an example of a very small municipality being able to field a club capable of winning the title, as åtvidabergs ff from åtvidaberg held the title twice, in 1972 and 1973.
