After several years fighting in lower series and nine years in the Allsvenskan, Fagerhult / Habo made it to the highest series last season.
On Sunday, they play their first match in SSL, when they meet local rival Jönköpings IK away.
- It's fun that it starts now, then it's extra fun to meet JIK in a derby in the first match, says forward Tobias Zälle.
"Should make an impression"
How do you think it will go this season?
- We are here to make an impression, we do not want to be this team that comes up as a newcomer and parks the bus and tries to lose with as few goals as possible.
If we do our things right, I think it will go well, he says.
Get players with SSL experience
Fagerhult / Habo has a young squad where only three players have experience from games in SSL since before.
Something that can was both good and bad, according to Tobias Zälle.
- It is clear that the routine is missing this year, but at the same time I think we are hungrier than other teams, he says.

Want to become an SSL team
Even though Fagerhult / Habo are newcomers this year, coach Johan Kihlblom believes that the team is ready for games in the highest league.
- We try to develop every night, we did that last year and if we can succeed with it this year, we will be an SSL team long enough.
But there will probably be some ups and downs this season, he says.
