Replacing leagues
The formation of the Allsvenskan can be traced back to 1924-25 with the 12 teams of the initial season coming from the previous Svenska Serien which was held until 1924. The first season in the brand new league would see IFK Göteborg take out the title from GAIS would go on to win the following season. In 1928, Örgryte IS became the first team to win two Allsvenskan titles in a row as they won both the 1927 and the 1928 editions.

By the 1934 season, Hälsingborgs IF would finally recorded their first title after getting second and third in previous seasons as they struggled to just the top step. It was also during this season that Malmö FF was famously relegated during the season due to paying a wage to the players which was against the rules at the time. This meant that they were relegated to the second division and wouldn't come back up until the 1940 season.
