The evidence, you wonder? To which we say: 

Home town of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden’s greatest ever footballer.

The aforementioned Malmö FF, winners of more Swedish titles than any other team.

Home to FC Rosengård, Sweden’s most successful ever women’s team. 

Can any other Swedish cities realistically claim this kind of football pedigree?
