Malmö hasn't won Allsvenskan 18 times. According to their webpage [www.mff.se] they've won it 15 times. Besides, it's a fact that IFK Göteborg has won Allsvenskan the most times, and they've won it 17 times, so the number is obviously false. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.252.224.174 ( talk • contribs) .
The image File:Stadion 2009.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

This is erroneous. Malmö FF hasn't won the Allsvenskan in more than 10 years and IFK Göteborg has only won it once in the last 10 years. In addition, the article on IFK Göteborg talks about the "Big Three" which is considered a more accurate statement since it does not say anything about domination which implies "the best in recent time". -- 90.229.206.136 ( talk) 17:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
I have just reassessed the article from Start-class to C-class. I would have assessed it B-class if it wasn't for the "Rivals" section being unreferenced, despite containing very specific claims about a 1933 scandal. Once this is fixed, I believe it is ready for B-class. Tomas e ( talk) 10:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Reckless182: The correct name is Malmö Fotbollförening, without an "S", which it has been ever since the foundation in february 24th 1910. This can be certified in several places at www.mff.se. Look for example in the official statutes: http://mff.se/Ditt_MFF/Om_klubben/~/media/MFF/Dokument/Arsredovisningar/MFFStadgar.ashx Likse ( talk) 10:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Reviewing |
Review now initiated. Have initially checked that the "quick-fail criteria" do not apply, and notes that the article has recently (December 2010) been through both a peer review (with all issues raised subsequently addressed, as it seems) and a "make-over" by the Guild of Copy Editors.
Reviewer: Tomas e ( talk) 22:03, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
In general, the article is well written and quite well worked-through. I have basically only one issue which prevents me from passing the article in its current state, due to combined referencing and POV concerns:
In summary:
The article has been put on hold for now, until the issues specified in sections 1.2 & 4 have been addressed. Tomas e ( talk) 22:57, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
The article uses words like "glory" and "glorious" at various points. This is normal usage for professional football journalists, and doubtless in the sources too, but maybe we want to go one step further with the encyclopedic tone, and use more neutral alternatives for these words as well?
An issue here is that the best neutral alternatives are "success" and "successful", which are already heavily used in the historical parts of the article, including in most of the section sub-headings. There are a couple of other neutral synonyms for "success" and "successful" which could be used in a few places, but to avoid repetition, it would probably require removing characterisation of the performance from the sub-headings altogether, and just using sub-headings like "1970s, European Cup 1979 and the 1980s" instead.
Is this worth doing or does it make the tone excessively dry? -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 01:45, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
To further improve the article free images of important club figures such as club captain Daniel Andersson and manager Roland Nilsson would be very good additions. Let me know if anyone has free image of these persons or any other club related persons. -- Reckless182 ( talk) 09:11, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
For being a FA, it appears the referencing is somewhat random compared to expected to articles of this level. One example is the referencing for the statement «An upper tier was added to the stadium in the 1980s, and was completed in 1992», where the reference is actually not makes a final confirmation of any piece of the statement (the ref confirm a named part of the upper section, witch was build/completed in 1992, and nothing about the 1980s). Another example is, under media coverage, where it is stated «The second film continues to follow Lasse, but also has a significant focus on Zlatan Ibrahimović, his progress and how he was eventually sold to AFC Ajax during the 2001 season», and where the ref is confirming the Ibrahimović transfere to Ajax, with no connection to the film, or the statement in general. I know it is hard to find verifiable and relevant sources to mediocrate football clubs, but the statements added should come from a RS, or else be removed. Grrahnbahr ( talk) 17:43, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Have it been concidered to add a performance chart to the article? I've added one here, witch is used in the article about AIK Fotboll, I guess some wikipedian have the tools for fixing one without to much trouble. I think it would be a great improvement to the article, as it highlights the different eras for the football club. Grrahnbahr ( talk) 00:43, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
I would like to add Landskrona BoIS to that list. The 1970 in Scanian football wasn't a contest between MFF and BoIS, however they were very attended events. Usually around 25.000 at Malmö Stadion (even more in September 1977 when it was a real top meeting, altough that's not quite obvious when looking a the table adter the last Day. MFF won, BoIS ended 5th. But BoIS lost 5 matches in sequence during the autumn.) and 15.000 in Landskrona. There were rivalery also in Superettan 1999 aswell, and again during the 2002-2005 seasons. Shouting in Scanian humerous style - "En get!... En ko!... En Malmöbo!" - was funny ! There were no hate though, to my knowledge. Heja BoIS ! Boeing720 ( talk) 02:36, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that the crest has a small "filled" Star of David at its bottom. The crest section of the article doesn't explain this, only mentions that there is a star underneath the text. I was wondering if there is any relation to Judaism. Can anyone help? HaGamal 05:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
