That's correct. We are investigating the question and interest with the country's elite clubs, says Möllerberg to the website.

The Swedish Cup's format has changed over the years, as has the location of the final.

For many years now, the location of the final arena has been decided through a lottery, where one of the finalists has had the advantage of playing at home.

Now, the association is looking to make the national arena in Solna, previously known as Friends Arena, a permanent final arena.

Möllerberg tells Fotbolldirekt that the association is considering creating a larger football weekend in Stockholm connected to the cup final.

It could involve the women's final the same weekend, youth finals, fairs, and seminars. A big weekend for Swedish football, simply.

The question will be discussed and investigated during 2025, and a potential first cup final weekend in Solna will be possible at the earliest in 2026.
