Djurgarden Football presents a packed schedule for the Djurgårdsfestivalen at Stockholms Stadion on Saturday, September 5, 2026. The festival, which is free to enter, opens at 9:00 and offers a full day of football, entertainment, and activities for all ages, according to a club press release.
The club heads into the event with momentum from a strong start to the Allsvenskan autumn season. The team sits in a solid third place in the league table with 32 points, from ten wins, two draws, and six losses across 18 games. With 41 goals scored and only 19 conceded, they have a +22 goal difference, but the title race is tough with leaders Sirius ten points ahead. The next league fixture is away to IF Brommapojkarna on October 16, a match you can track on our fixtures page.
What's on during the festival day?
The programme kicks off in the morning with youth football matches at 9:30, 11:00, and 12:00. For those wanting to meet the stars, autograph sessions are held with the men's A-team at 12:00 and with the women's hockey team at 10:00. After the main match, at 16:15, it's time for the women's football A-team to sign autographs. Throughout the day, from 9:00 to 18:00, food and drinks are available for purchase. Visitors can choose from Vietnamese street food and wraps from two food trucks, Belgian waffles, or popcorn during the matches.
For families, there is a range of children's activities including bouncy castles, obstacle courses, a fishing pond, flag painting, and small football matches. There's also table tennis, cap painting, cornhole, and FIFA competitions. The club mascot, Järnkaninen, will be present for much of the day. The festival also features music from DJs and troubadours as well as a guided walk in the Trophy Room with Pelle Kotschack.
Which match is the main event?
The highlight of the day is the women's team's home match in the OBOS Damallsvenskan against FC Rosengård. The match starts at 14:00 and is scheduled to finish at 15:45. A public warm-up session will be held at 13:00 before kick-off. The match is a key part of the season for a Djurgarden side that has shown attacking prowess in the men's league.

How can you contribute and win?
The festival includes several initiatives for sustainability and the club. A mobile recycling station for bottles and cans is on site, and everyone who recycles is automatically entered into a draw for gift cards from the Djurgården fan shop. Furthermore, a 50/50 lottery is organised where half the proceeds go to Djurgården Ungdom. Over 20 partner clubs and organisations like Tavex and Aventi are represented during the day, showcasing the club's broad association life.
The festival closing is on the inner pitch at 18:00, while the Kaminen Lounge remains open for drinks and food until 21:00. A good way to prepare for the event is to check the club's current squad to recognise the players on the pitch. With a third-place standing in the Allsvenskan and a festival for all of Stockholm, it's a day to look forward to for all Blåränder.
