AIK Ends 2025 Allsvenskan Season With Disappointing Loss Despite Record-Breaking Attendance

In the final match of the 2025 Allsvenskan season, AIK suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Halmstad at Nationalarenan in Solna, overshadowing the farewell of notable player Anton Salétros. Analysts criticized AIK's performance as one of the worst in recent memory, with one remarking, "I can't remember seeing AIK worse than this," and describing the post-match locker room atmosphere as somber and empty. Despite the disheartening finish on the pitch, AIK's 2025 season was marked by remarkable fan support, setting a new Scandinavian record for average attendance with over 30,000 spectators per match. The season finale alone drew 31,091 fans, surpassing AIK's previous domestic record of 28,539 and the former Scandinavian record held by FC Copenhagen with 28,860. This surge contributed to an increase of around 11,000 in average attendance across Allsvenskan venues. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Diabate of Gais and August Priske Flyger of Djurgården led the scoring charts, each finishing with 18 goals. The season thus concluded on a bittersweet note for AIK, highlighting a stark contrast between unprecedented fan engagement and an underwhelming team performance at the season's close.
