Rivalries

[edit]

While in the lower tiers of the league system, the games against Åkersberga were classic rivalry games. Since Tyresö and Carlstad both entered Superserien in 1998, the two teams have had many fierce battles with the latter most frequently coming out on top. From 2010 to 2012 the teams faced off in the national championship three years back-to-back with Carlstad as the victors every time.

Among all teams ever in existence in Sweden, there are only three teams with a winning record facing Tyresö; Handelshögskolan(defunct), Carlstad, and Stockholm.
