About seasons 2014 and 2015

The 2014 season in division 1 was a success. The season got off to a good start, had a decline in the middle and finally started improving towards the end. In the last knockout stage of the 2014-15 Svenska Cupen the team shocked Åtvidabergs FF, playing in Allsvenskan, with a victory that ended 2–2 at full time and 7–6 after a penalty shooutout. This victory meant that Huddinge IF had reached the reached the group stage of Svenska Cupen.
The 2015 season started with the group stage of Svenska Cupen, facing BK Häcken ', Mjällby AIF ' and Östers IF . The home games were played at Skytteholms IP in Solna, located on the other side of town. The results were probably about as expected. Mjällby at home 0–4, Häcken at home 1–3, and Öster away, 0–3. The goal against Häcken was scored by Patrick Amoah.
After a miserable start to the 2015 league season, Huddinge shaped up towards the end and had the chance to remain in division 1 in their last game, facing league-winning Dalkurd FF at home. They won the game 2–1, giving Dalkurd their only loss that season, but were still relegated. Had the game been won with at least two goals, they would have remained in division 1.
