# 2009 IF Elfsborg season

IF Elfsborg had another decent season, finishing in third of Allsvenskan, and having a decent run in the UEFA Europa League, knocking Braga out, before losing to Lazio prior to the group stage. Having been tipped for domestic glory, heavy defeats to IFK Göteborg and Malmö FF within a couple of weeks meant the team got to far behind to mount a serious challenge.
