Kalmar FF signs Alexander Almqvist from Oddevold

Kalmar FF announced this weekend that they are close to signing Oddevold captain Alexander Almqvist. The 26‑year‑old has scored four goals in twelve Superettan matches this year and is set for a three‑year contract in Kalmar. If everything proceeds as planned, he will be presented as the club’s next new signing within the coming days.

What happened?

Almqvist has delivered four goals and one assist in twelve matches in the Superettan this season. The clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of one million kronor and the player has already accepted a three‑year deal with Kalmar FF. A medical examination remains, but once cleared he will officially join the squad.

Why does the move matter for Kalmar FF?

Kalmar FF currently sit in 2nd place in Superettan with 64 points, 18 wins, 10 draws and 2 losses from 30 games, and boast a goal difference of +31 (52 scored, 21 conceded). The team is 11 points behind leaders Mjällby AIF in the title race. Adding a young striker like Almqvist could provide the extra firepower needed to push for a top spot and possibly a future return to Allsvenskan.

What comes next?

After the medical clearance, Kalmar FF are expected to unveil Almqvist to fans and media. His debut could be the upcoming away fixture against Hammarby FF on 12 July 2026, where Kalmar FF are listed as second in the table. The manager has already hinted that he could start if he impresses in training.

How does the future look for Kalmar FF?

If Almqvist adapts quickly, he may become a key figure in the team’s attacking setup. With a solid defensive base and a +31 goal difference, the club is already well‑positioned, but every goal counts in the tight title chase. Stay tuned as Kalmar FF continues its push for a top finish and hopes the new signing contributes to a successful season.
