Borås are the "real" Swedish champions for the first time.

After an interrupted 2020 season during the pandemic, when the team were awarded gold, they have won a Swedish Championship final for the first time in history.

Before the match, Borås had a match point at home in the final series. A golden opportunity they did not let slip.

Such a fucking relief. I haven't slept in two fucking days and then we'll solve it. Unbelievable, says Borås star Ludvig Johansson to Expressen.

There's no question about who will lead the celebration, despite the lack of sleep.

"I'll probably be the one. We're good at playing basketball but good at partying," says Johansson.
