# 2019 Hammarby Fotboll season

The 2019 season was Hammarby Fotboll's 104th in existence, their 50th season in Allsvenskan and their 5th consecutive season in the league. They competed in Allsvenskan and Svenska Cupen during the year. League play started in early April and lasted until November. Stefan Billborn made his second season as manager.

## Summary

Hammarby started the league play in a mediocre fashion, but made a strong finish to the season (with eight straight wins during between match day 22 and 30) and ultimately finished 3rd in Allsvenskan. This meant that the club qualified for the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League, their first continental competition in over ten years.
