AIK had a disappointing season, where the team did not win a single match in the wake of the sale of Brazilian star Wílton Figueiredo, dropping out of the title chase, missing European qualification in the process. Argentine recruits Iván Obolo and Lucas Valdemarín impressed upon their arrivals, forming an impressive unit with Figueiredo, which was curtailed when Al-Rayyan bought Figueiredo in September.

There, AIK turned around a 1–0 deficit to win 2–1 and claim the title, more than enough, considering a draw had landed the title as well. Key players in the title success included goalkeeper Daniel Örlund, conceding just 20 goals all season, plus new defensive general Jos Hooiveld, midfielder Jorge Ortiz and striker Iván Obolo, all of them departing following the title success.
