Piteå IF will host Kristianstad in the Allsvenskan season opener at LF Arena on Sunday. The match is a rematch from the Svenska Cupen group stage, where Kristianstad finished first, one point ahead of Piteå, reportedly preventing Piteå from advancing. Three young players from Luleå, Julie Greberg (17), Ebba Hedman (18), and Ruth Sundquist (17), all born in 2008, are available for selection in the match squad, with Sundquist expressing hope for playing time.
Shiho Matsubara, a Japanese player who joined Piteå IF last summer, aims for the team to finish in the top three of the league this season, according to reports.
