2008 Helsingborgs IF season

Helsingborgs IF

2008 season
Manager	Bosse Nilsson
Allsvenskan	4th
Svenska Cupen	3rd Round
Top goalscorer	Henrik Larsson (14)
← 2009 2009 →

Helsingborgs IF had a resurgence season on the domestic scene, finishing in the top four once again. With Henrik Larsson having his best season following his return, the side was able to compensate for the loss of Razak Omotoyossi to Saudi Arabia. The 4th place finish meant Helsingborg qualified for Europe once more.

The year started with a defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Last 32 of the UEFA Cup, the best performance from a Swedish club for some time. For results of the run see the 2007 article.
