SVENSKA CUPEN

'Svenska Cupen' (the "Swedish Cup") is the main Swedish football Cup. The winners qualify for the UEFA Cup.
Each year (since the new rules with less teams came), 98 teams compete, comprising the 14 teams from Allsvenskan (the All Swedish League - first level of Swedish football) and the 16 teams of Superettan (the Super Division 1 - second level of Swedish football) together with 68 teams from lower (district) series.
A separate Svenska Cupen exists for women's football (soccer).
