Main article: Svenska Cupen

Svenska Cupen, unlike Allsvenskan, spans over two seasons, with qualification in the fall and group stage and final stages in the spring.

2015–16 Svenska Cupen are being played during the fall in 2015 and in the spring of 2016, with the first two rounds in 2015 and the group stage and final stages in the beginning of 2016.

Group stage

IFK Norrköping were placed in group 1, as champions and winners of 2015 Allsvenskan, together with winners of 2015 Superettan (second tier), Jönköpings Södra IF, based on teams positions in the Swedish league system after 2015 season. This since first-ranked team are paired with sixteenth-ranked team in group 1, second-ranked team with fifteenth-ranked team in group 2 and so on to fill all eighth groups. One team from Allsvenskan did not qualify for group stage making winners from Superettan being the sixteenth seeded team. The draw amongst the unseeded teams to decide the last two teams was held on 26 November 2015, and IFK Norrköping and Jönköpings Södra IF were drawn together with Östersunds FK and AFC United.[8] IFK Norrköping won their first two matches against Östersunds FK and AFC United, and could secure a place in the final stages with a draw in the last match against Jönköpings Södra IF.

UEFA Champions League

IFK Norrköping qualified for 2016–17 UEFA Champions League by winning 2015 Allsvenskan. They entered in second qualifying round and had to go through both the second and third qualifying round as well as the play-off round to reach the group stage, which is start of main tournament. However, they were eliminated in the second qualifying round against Rosenborg.

Qualifying phase and play-off round

In the qualifying phase and play-off round, each tie was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e., the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time was played, divided into two fifteen-minutes halves. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e., if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out

Kickoff times are in CEST (UTC+2) unless stated otherwise.

Second qualifying round

The draw for the second qualifying round was held on 20 June 2016, and IFK Norrköping was drawn against Norwegian champions Rosenborg.[12]
