Allsvenskan qualification play-off 1997

Division 1 Norra 1997 After the season's end it was disclosed that Vasalunds IF had played nine matches with four non-EU/EEA players, one more player than the rules allowed. The result in eight of the matches was changed to 0–3 losses, and one 0–5 loss was unchanged. This had a positive effect on Spårvägens FF which thus avoided both relegation and relegation play-off, and a negative effect on Lira Luleå BK which now had to play a relegation play-off, and Enköpings SK which were now relegated directly instead of playing a relegation play-off.TeamPldWDLGFGAGDPts1Hammarby IF26195255–17+38622Djurgårdens IF26176365–30+35573Umeå FC26127752–38+14434GIF Sundsvall26116940–31+9395Gefle IF26107944–31+13376Nacka FF26107936–48-12377IFK Luleå2699827–29-2368IK Brage26881048–39+9329Assyriska Föreningen26881035–48-133210Spårvägens FF26611933–39-62911Lira Luleå BK26781136–45-92912Enköpings SK26851337–47-102913IF Brommapojkarna26671327–47-202514Vasalunds IF26242018–64-4610
