Nevertheless, they managed to defeat Halmstad and share points with AIK in a goalless draw.
Kalmar lost its place in the top division in 2024 for the first time in over twenty years. However, they made an immediate comeback, finishing second in Superettan. They started the season with three losses but then produced nearly perfect results at home, although their away form remained poor. Against Malmö, they managed only a draw at home, but they did beat Mjällby.
