- 2 September 2006: The punishment for the clubs involved in the tumult at Söderstadion during the 53 minute abandoned match Hammarby IF–Djurgårdens IF played 28 September—when home fans stormed the pitch and shot fireworks from the stands—is decided by the Swedish Football Association; Hammarby IF loses the match 0–3 (the score when the match was abandoned), loses an extra three points, and are fined 200,000 SEK, Djurgårdens IF are fined 15,000 SEK.
