Djurgården are on course to break an attendance record dating back to 1959. The club's current average home crowd of 23,582 already surpasses the old record of 22,955, and with two home Allsvenskan matches remaining, the figure can be cemented.
The club sits second in the league with 41 points from 21 games. Their latest home match against GAIS drew 19,163 fans to 3Arena and ended 2-0 with goals from Kristian Lien and Bo Hegland. It was the team's fourth consecutive win and fourth consecutive clean sheet.
Another home match against IF Elfsborg awaits on Sunday 20 September. A large crowd there would secure the historic average. Djurgården have won their last five matches and have scored 46 goals this season. Striker Kristian Lien is the club's top scorer with 15 goals.
The fans have had plenty to cheer for this autumn. The team's strong form has driven progress both on the pitch and in the stands. After the Elfsborg match, an away fixture against IF Brommapojkarna awaits on 18 October.
The record chase comes in the middle of a tight title race where Djurgården trail leaders Sirius by seven points. Every point and every supporter counts in the pursuit. The team's statistics, including an impressive goal difference of +27, are available on our stats page. Sunday's meeting with Elfsborg kicks off at 14:00.
