US AIK 31 August @ 10:34 AM EDT
In a couple of hours Djurgården will play their most important match of the season. Were the team to lose this game against GAIS they will fall at least six points away from safer ground and relegation would be imminent.

US AIK 21 July @ 07:21 AM EDT
With fifteen rounds behind us we have now reached the halfway point of the season. In theory anything is still possible, but realistically it appears that the league has been partitioned into three distinct segments. In the first segment we find the five teams that all have a serious shot at the gold; in the middle of the table we have another segment of six teams; and in the bottom of the table we have five teams all struggling to stay out of the relegation zone.

Post-Game: Mjällby AIF vs. AIK 1-2

At this point the Mjällby supporters at Strandvallen surely felt that this game could become another chapter in their ongoing Cinderella story. Click to continue reading...

US AIK 07 July @ 12:04 PM EDT
In a perfect world, a Swedish Cup fixture against a Superettan side like Mjällby would provide AIK with an easy victory by a three goal margin. Reality is unfortunately a bit more complicated and the Swedish Cup quarter-final on Wednesday promises to provide quite a challenge for our beloved AIK.
Superettan teams have performed well against Allsvenskan sides so far in the Cup. Click to continue reading...
