The club was relegated back down to Superettan at the end of the season.[3]
Djurgårdens IF
In July 2015, it was confirmed that Une Larsson would join Allsvenskan club Djurgårdens IF on a three-year contract starting in 2016. Une Larsson admitted that he chose Djurgården over Norwegian powerhouse Rosenborg BK.[4] When the signing was announced he declared that he was a Djurgården supporter in "heart and soul", a statement which angered fans of Brommapojkarna since he had four months remaining of his contract with the club and also had been playing for Brommapojkarna his whole career.[5][6] On 2 October 2016 Une Larsson scored his first goal for Djurgården with a header in the 3-2 win against Örebro SK.[7]
International career
Une Larsson has represented the Sweden national under-17 football team, Sweden national under-19 football team and Sweden national under-21 football team.[8] Une Larsson was selected in the Swedish Olympic squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He played and scored in the friendly game ahead of the Olympic games and played two games in the tournament.[9]
