Simon Strand joins IF Brommapojkarna, seeks revenge on Hammarby

Simon Strand's contract with Hammarby IF expired in the winter of 2025/2026, and he has since signed a contract with IF Brommapojkarna until the 2027 season. According to Fotbolltransfers, Simon Strand described feeling some desire for revenge against Hammarby IF, but not directed at the supporters. He suggested that his revenge desire is directed at Micke Hjelmberg, the sports director of Hammarby IF.

According to Fotbolltransfers, Simon Strand spent a total of three seasons at Hammarby IF, but the specific reasons for his departure and the full terms of his new contract remain unclear. It is unknown how Hammarby IF and Micke Hjelmberg respond to his statements, and whether his comments will affect his relationship with supporters in future matches.

Good question. It would probably have been more respectful (than against AIK/Djurgårdens IF). It might be to take off the shirt there too just to show a little love.

It probably doesn't matter. It might be nice to get a red card in the last second too.

Then I would probably tear off my shirt, regardless of which team it is.

Of course it is, but not against the supporters. Then there are some others, absolutely.

Micke (Hjelmberg) can get it.
