IFK Göteborg is set to qualify for the Europa Conference League through the Swedish Cup spot, according to reports. IK Sirius was eliminated from the Swedish Cup. The winner of the Swedish Cup gets a place in the Conference League qualifiers, but since Hammarby, which is in the cup final, and both teams in the other semifinal have already secured European play in the Allsvenskan last season, the spot goes to IFK Göteborg.
IFK Göteborg finished fourth in the Allsvenskan in 2025. Last year's third-place team GAIS and second-place team Hammarby are also qualifying for the Conference League. The reigning champion Mjällby is aiming for the Champions League.

IFK Göteborg was knocked out in the quarterfinals of the Swedish Cup by IK Sirius. As long as Sirius, which faces Hammarby in the semifinal, does not win the cup, IFK Göteborg will qualify for the Europa Conference League. Tobias Heintz, a key player for IFK Göteborg, reportedly said that the team has a very good chance of taking a European qualifying spot and that the results in the quarterfinals went their way, except for their elimination by Sirius.
He also mentioned trying to bring an attitude change to the team. IFK Göteborg starts its Allsvenskan season away against IF Elfsborg.
