AIK secured a 3-1 victory over Örebro SK in a pre-season match, with Örebro coach Rikard Norling acknowledging the fan atmosphere. According to Fotbollskanalen, Norling described the chants as impossible to avoid hearing, especially when AIK scored, and he interpreted them exclusively as love. According to other sources, Norling previously coached AIK in two stints and won the Swedish championship with the club, and he is back in elite football after coaching in the third division for FC Stockholm.
According to Fotbollskanalen, Norling assessed that Örebro SK needs to improve to compete against better teams like AIK and Hammarby, stating they are not there yet and must get better to handle that type of team. According to Fotbollskanalen, Norling described disappointment with the match result, feeling they were getting into the match and could have gotten a better result before conceding goals in the last ten minutes. The specific chants from AIK fans and the attendance at the match remain unknown, as do the exact lineups and the significance of this match for both teams' upcoming seasons.
