Division 1 (Swedish women's football)

Division 1 is the second highest league in the Swedish women's football league system. It sits below the Damallsvenskan and above Division 2. The league typically consists of multiple geographically-based sections, with the winners of each section often qualifying for promotion playoffs to Damallsvenskan, or automatic promotion depending on the specific league structure rules for that season. The number of sections and promotion/relegation rules can vary from year to year. The league is administered by the Swedish Football Association (SvFF). Division 1 serves as a crucial stepping stone for teams aspiring to reach the highest level of women's football in Sweden and provides a competitive environment for player development.
