Häcken celebrated a major triumph when Hammarby was defeated in the Europa Cup final on Friday. Häcken thus became historic as the first winner of the subsidiary tournament to the Champions League. It was also the club's first international title ever. Häcken's coach Elena Sadiku says it feels fantastic to play in the Champions League. Häcken will play directly in the Champions League group stage. Sadiku emphasizes that it is extremely important for the club and team to play in the European football elite again. Häcken's club manager Marcus Jodin is also very pleased with the Champions League spot. Jodin says it's really great and that there are several advantages to knowing that you're clear for the Champions League already now. Häcken can count on the economy that exists in the Champions League and can include it in our forecasts. The Champions League spot is a result of Lyon beating Arsenal in the Champions League semifinal. This means that the winner of this year's tournament will already have a direct spot in next season's edition through their domestic league play. Therefore, the spot will instead go to the Europa Cup winner, which is Häcken. Häcken's players and staff are looking forward to the challenge of playing in the Champions League. The club will use the experience to develop and improve for the future.
