Hammarby host Manchester City in the Women’s Champions League on Tuesday .

The Swedish women's team receive the kind of support rarely seen in women's football.

Fans have mobilised independently of the club and fund choreographies, banners and pyro displays.

The growth of support for the women's side has been organic, the product of community building and cooperation on an impressive scale.

A 12,062 crowd - a record for a WCL qualifier - watched Hammarby lose 2-1 at home in the first leg of their play-off against Benfica .

A week later Cathinka Tandberg 's 95th-minute strike secured a 3 -2 aggregate victory and a place in the group stage for the first time.

More than 14,000 tickets have been sold for home fixtures against Manchester City and Barcelona .
