In 2006 IF Elfsborg, the Swedish football club located in Borås, won their first national title since 1961, thanks to a dramatic finish to the season, where Elfsborg hit top form at the end of the year, sealing the title thanks to Joakim Sjöhage's goal against Djurgården. When Djurgården's claim for a penalty was waved off in stoppage time, Elfsborg overhauled AIK by a single point.
Helsingborgs IF had a successful season with the return of Henrik Larsson from Barcelona putting the club into international spotlight. Following a dire start to the season, coach Peter Swärdh was sacked and replaced by Stuart Baxter, the Englishman's first Swedish job for five years. A strong end to the season saw Helsingborg briefly go into title contention, but that was not to be. Instead, Helsingborg beat Gefle 2-0 in the cup final, qualifying for the UEFA Cup as an effect.
Helsingborgs IF had the most successful international run for a Swedish club, beating Heerenveen and Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup, before losing to the season's Dutch champion, PSV Eindhoven in the last 32.
Helsingborgs IF had a resurgence season on the domestic scene, finishing in the top four once again. With Henrik Larsson having his best season following his return, the side was able to compensate for the loss of Razak Omotoyossi to Saudi Arabia. The 4th place finish meant Helsingborg qualified for Europe once more.
Helsingborgs IF had its best season in a decade, being only two points off arch rivals and champions Malmö FF. With senior talisman Henrik Larsson retiring and Conny Karlsson being an unexpected coaching appointment to a midfield side, inspired signings such as Alexander Gerndt, Mattias Lindström, Erik Edman and Ardian Gashi lifted the team so far that they actually led the championship just a week before the end of the season. In the end, Malmö won the required matches, while Helsingborg choked and drew with Kalmar, a double-whammy that secured Malmö's title.
IF Elfsborg did not repeat its 2006 league title, but at least managed to qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Cup, following the victory against Dinamo Bucharest in the play-off round, into which they had been relegated from the Champions League, where they had lost to Valencia in the final play-off round.
IF Elfsborg had their best points average season, in spite of not repeating its 2006 title. Finishing just one point adrift of Kalmar FF, Elfsborg had cemented its place as one of the top Swedish sides, being further boosted by Anders Svensson turning down a lucrative offer from Shaktar Donetsk during the course of the season.
IF Elfsborg had another decent season, finishing in third of Allsvenskan, and having a decent run in the UEFA Europa League, knocking Braga out, before losing to Lazio prior to the group stage. Having been tipped for domestic glory, heavy defeats to IFK Göteborg and Malmö FF within a couple of weeks meant the team got to far behind to mount a serious challenge.
IF Elfsborg had another season where they stayed in the top four for the fifth consecutive season. Being tipped for title glory, Elfsborg was nowhere near such a feat, but thanks to Denni Avdić and his sensational season, scoring 19 league goals a European qualification was granted once more. In the 2010-11 edition of UEFA Europa League.
IFK Göteborg had a largely disappointing season, finishing in the bottom half of Allsvenskan, also letting go of highly rated Norwegian coach Arne Erlandsen, only for his successor Reine Almqvist to endure an even worse run of results, which saw him being let go after the season, too.
IFK Göteborg had a near-miss season, losing a decisive match against AIK, where a win would have clinched the title. In spite of Thomas Olsson giving Blåvitt the lead, goals from Antônio Flávio and Daniel Tjernström saw the grip slip out of IFK's hands. Adding to the misery, AIK also won the cup final clash between the sides.
The 2012 season was Malmö FF's 101st in existence, their 77th season in Allsvenskan and their 12th consecutive season in the league. They competed in Allsvenskan where they finished in 3rd position. Malmö FF also participated in one competition in which the club continued playing in for the 2013 season, 2012–13 Svenska Cupen. The season was Rikard Norlings first full season as the club's manager as he joined the club halfway through the 2011 season. Ulrich Vinzents was appointed new club captain as the former captain, Daniel Andersson, announced that he would prioritise his coaching career as one of Malmö FF's three assistant managers. However, injury problems for the club's defender saw Andersson playing ten out of twelve league matches before the break for UEFA Euro 2012 and thus also holding the captaincy, Andersson continued to play sporadically after the summer break. Appointed captain Vinzents was injured in an early stage of the season and Miiko Albornoz was brought into the starting eleven, Albornoz held the position until the end of the season. Due to these circumstances third captain Jiloan Hamad held the captaincy for the majority of the matches throughout the season.

Stall-Erik och snapphanarna is a Swedish film project directed by and starring Anders Olofsson. The narrative is set between 1658 and the early 18th century and tells the story of the snapphanar, a pro-Danish guerrilla movement that fought against Sweden in the 17th century. Olofsson, an amateur filmmaker who works as a cleaner by day, began to shoot the film in 1996. His ability to recruit many established actors, as well as the long production process, has received publicity in several regional and national newspapers. The film was set to be finished in 2020. However, in early 2020, Olofsson set a goal to involve 100 celebrities in the film, and thus revised his estimated completion time to 2025.
