A career in one shirt: Per Frick
16 seasons and 309 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Vintage Marcus Rohdén — 8.18
At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.18, and nobody on the pitch better.

IF Elfsborg say no — this time
The offer from SJK for Leo Östman was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

IF Elfsborg make their move for Paul Mukairu
$990.0K on the table at Pogon. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

IF Elfsborg supporters have found a favourite in Frederik Ihler
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Frederik Ihler has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
In brief
- Squad Simon Olsson makes it 200
- Market IF Elfsborg and Arbër Zeneli are talking past each other
- The dugout Oscar Krafth has his say
