Mjällby and Hammarby want to play on neutral ground, draw for Swedish Cup final postponed

Mjällby and Hammarby want to play the Swedish Cup final on a neutral field. Now the Swedish Football Association may have listened - the draw for home-field advantage has been postponed. "The competition committee will meet as soon as possible and take a position on the letter received," the association writes on its website.

"I think we should have a similar structure to what we have when it comes to cups around the world. That is, we play the final at a chosen arena. That's what I think," Hammarby CEO Rickard von Yxkull told Expressen.

In a letter the clubs sent to the association, it is clear that Mjällby and Hammarby want to play the final at Strawberry Arena in Solna.

The men's cup final is scheduled for May 24. The women's final will be played on May 16.
