"Stockholm - nothing will be like before" Stockholm by Calcio

Stockholm Travel Guide: 4,010 reviews and 9,751 photos

Stockholm, the swedish capital, is as beautiful as you have heard. Specially during the summer it's fantastic city, although that is not what I'm gonna write about here.

Stockholm have three big footballs clubs. Although just two of them will play in Allsvenskan next season. Djurgården and Hammarby..

Because, to the joy of 67 percent of Stockholm, and 95 percent of the rest of Sweden's joy, AIK was relegated to the second division this season.

During the 1990-ties it was always Hammarby and Djurgården that went up and down between the first and second division and struggled with the economy, while AIK won the swedish league twice, and played in both the Champions League and the Cupwinners cup in Europe.

The economy we shouldn't even speak about. Playing in the Champions League gives a lot of money.

Problem for AIK is that that money now is gone, and so are they starplayers. And they play in the second division.

At the same time Hammarby has won the league once, and Djurgården twice!

Stockholm has really changed...
