Since the draw was completed in November, both the football association and Karlskrona municipality have planned for Sunday's match. FKK project manager Kristoffer Svensson has the nerves under control, but checks SMHI every hour. The snow that fell this week never led to concern.

With 100 volunteers, he now longs for the start signal sounds.

- I'm excited, this is going to be fantastic fun. It is no ordinary match for FK Karlskrona, says Kristoffer Svensson.

Playable green despite snowfall

FKK has partnered with the Municipality of Karlskrona to make sure that Western Land is ready to receive approximately 3,000 visitors. Morgan Dahlgren, supervisor of operations and service management in the municipality, paid tribute to his employees for the commitment shown in the project.

They have used several different techniques to get the lawn as beautiful as possible, among other things, it has been covered with nonwovens.

- This is how a plan should look like without heat loops in February, he notes with a satisfied mine.
