The last time Davis Cup was played in Gothenburg was 2007. Then Sweden defeated a strong Argentina in the quarterfinals.

A Swedish victory means that the team gets a new chance to play in Davis Cup Qualifiers in the beginning of 2026 – where the opportunity to reach the final game in the prestigious tournament is at stake.

It's going to be really fun to play at home again, and to do it in Gothenburg feels extra inspiring. This is an important match for us, and we will prepare ourselves carefully to be ready when it counts. With the home crowd behind us, we will do everything to take home the victory, says Swedish Davis Cup captain Simon Aspelin to the Swedish Tennis Association.

Partille arena is a facility with room for over 3,000 spectators.
