Mjallby returned to the Allsvenskan in 2020

While most football fans across Europe are still settling in to the new season, the story of the year has already happened in Sweden.

The nation's top tier, Allsvenskan, is home to Champions League regulars and historic giants such as Malmo, AIK, Hammarby and Djurgarden.

Yet with three games left to play in their March to November season, it is Mjallby, based in a town of fewer than 1,000 people, who have clinched their first top-flight title and a place in Europe.

From overcoming near-bankruptcy to creating the best team in the country on a shoestring budget, the club's journey to this point has been remarkable.
