IFK Norrköping's women's football team is ready for the final in the Swedish Cup – for the first time in the club's history. There, they will face Hammarby – who are playing the final for the seventh time.

Hammarby defeated Rosengård with a whole 5–0. And it was Hammarby's Norwegians who lay behind the victory. Julie Blakstad scored 1–0 and 3–0. And Cathinka Tandberg responded with the last two, in the 85th minute and in added time. Ellen Wangerheim scored 2–0 in the first half.

So, Hammarby will play the cup final for the seventh time, having taken gold three times before – most recently in 2023. It will also be Hammarby who gets home advantage in the final on June 6.

IFK Norrköping's Svea Rehnberg showed the way after 28 minutes, when she tapped in 1–0 from close range in the semifinal against Häcken. When less than a quarter remained, Wilma Leidhammar scored 2–0 in front of 822 spectators in Norrköping.

Häcken got a free ticket into the match in the final minutes, when Sam Angel unnecessarily fouled Felicia Schröder in the penalty area. Schröder took care of the penalty" herself and reduced, but "Peking" managed to hold on to a 2–1 victory.
