Suspended matches

Hammarby IF vs. GAIS

The match on 19 September 2013 at Tele2 Arena between Hammarby IF and GAIS was suspended after 57 minutes of play, following confrontations among the spectators. About 40 people made their way directly above the part of the stands where the GAIS supporters were and threw objects directed at them. Confrontations between the spectators then occurred at the southwest part of the arena, with no injuries requiring hospital care reported. About 20 to 25 minutes later, the match was resumed. GAIS filed an appeal for a 3–0 fixed result in their favour, but the appeal was rejected by the Swedish Football Association (SvFF). On 10 October 2013 the SvFF announced Hammarby IF was given a 250,000 SEK fine and that no attendance will be allowed for two upcoming home games.[18]

Örgryte IS vs. Ljungskile SK

The match on 28 October 2013 at Gamla Ullevi between Örgryte IS and Ljungskile SK had to be postponed to 29 October because of dangerous weather conditions.[19]
