Report

Stockholm Mean Machines won the SAFF Swedish American Football Federation Championship three years running from 1997 to 1999. After winning the Norra (Northern) Conference in 1997 they defeated Uppsala 86ers 21-14 in the Sveriges-Meisterschaft SM-Final. With two teams relegated from Norra Conference after 1997 and none from the Sodra Conference (Southern) the two conferences were merged into one. Stockholm Mean Machines won the SM League title in 1998 with a 9-1 record and proceeded to defeat Orebro Black Knights 31-10 in the SM-Final. They repeated the feat in 1999 with a 48-25 victory over the Black Knights, again after finishing top of the Superseries with a 9-1 record.
