Lincoln Red Imps were eliminated from the 2026‑27 UEFA Champions League qualifiers after a 3‑0 home win for Mjällby FK on 21 July followed by a 0‑0 away draw on 28 July. The aggregate victory sent the Swedish side into the third‑qualifying round. Mjällby AIF’s progression marks a historic achievement for the club from the fishing village of Hällevik, securing a place in the Champions League third‑qualifying round and guaranteeing participation in a European competition this autumn. The club is set to receive at least 50 million Swedish kronor in prize money, and if it fails to advance further it will drop into the UEFA Conference League. The next opponent is expected to be the winner of the Slovan Bratislava–Iberia 1999 tie, with Slovak side Slovan currently leading 2‑0 after the first leg. Local investor Magnus Emeus has helped fund the club’s turnaround, and the upcoming fixtures will be staged at Strandvallen, a 6,000‑seat stadium in Hällevik. Coach Anders Torstensson, who guided the team through the qualifiers, has now taken up the role of sporting director as the club celebrates this milestone.
