Malmö FF is set to play its Allsvenskan season opener against Örgryte in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a large away following. According to reports, around 4,500 to 4,700 away supporters are expected to attend the match at Gamla Ullevi on Sunday, which would reportedly break the team's record for away attendance in the 2020s. Midfielder Otto Rosengren stated that the support is important and motivates the team, while MFF's supporter liaison officer Riad Muhammed expressed delight at the turnout despite the team's reportedly difficult previous season, which included a financial loss and early cup exit.
The away section will be located on the southern end and part of the long side of the stadium. This follows a previous season where MFF's average away attendance was lower, with the highest being in an earlier opener. The large crowd is attributed to factors like the match being a season opener and occurring on a holiday weekend, though it is uncertain if such support will continue throughout the season, reportedly depending on the team's results.
