First out is the ladies' final, which will be played on 13 May.

A few weeks later, on May 30, the men will play their final.

Those who are allowed to play at home will be drawn directly in Sportspegeln on Sunday.

- The Swedish Cup has gained an increased status in recent years and we believe in a continued positive development.

We would like to be involved in broadcasting when titles and trophies are awarded in Swedish sports and are happy to be able to show Swedish club team football at the highest level, says SVT Sports' project manager Max Bursell.

The ladies' cup final is about the honor and winning a title.

In addition to filling the prize cupboard, the winner of the Swedish Cup on the men's side will also qualify for the new Europa Conference League tournament.

- Fantastic fun that we will broadcast the cup finals again, I have fond memories of when we broadcast the finals in previous years.

A cup final is a great experience as a player.

The pulse and nerve in that a title is at stake and that everything will be decided in a single match, says SVT's football expert Daniel Nannskog.

Giant meeting awaits

This weekend, it will be decided which teams will reach all the way to the final.

On the women's side, the battle for the final place between Umeå and Eskilstuna is in one semifinal, in the other Häcken and Rosengård meet.

On the men's side, Hammarby will face Djurgården in a derby for a final place against already final Häcken.

Which of the semi-final winners will be allowed to play the final at home will be drawn directly in Sportspegeln on Sunday at 19:00 on SVT1.

On the women's side, the Swedish Cup was never finished in 2020 when the pandemic stopped.

The latest cup winner is Göteborg FC who won the final in 2019.

Five years in SVT

The men's cup final 2020 was won by IFK Gothenburg, after a dramatic match against Malmö FF.

SVT has the broadcasting rights to the finals of the Swedish Cup until 2025.

Playing football with or without an audience does not seem to matter for the result.

However, the judges are affected.
