Background

Helsingborgs IF had reached the final of the Svenska Cupen on six previous occasions and had won the trophy five times. They were the defending champions after defeating Hammarby IF 1–0 in the final at Söderstadion in Stockholm. The only previous time they had finished as runners-up was in 1994 when they lost 4–3 after sudden death extra time to IFK Norrköping in the final. [1]

Kalmar FF had reached the final of the Svenska Cupen on five previous occasions and had won the trophy three times. Their last appearance in the final in 2008 had finished goalless but they lost on penalties to IFK Göteborg. That had been a replay of the final from the year before in which Kalmar FF had also faced IFK Göteborg. However, on that occasion, Kalmar had won 3–0 to lift the trophy. [1]
