Gothenburg was named Sweden's best sports city in 2012, 2013 and 2016.

This year it was close again.

44 out of 50 jury members had Gothenburg in their top 10 and 287 jury points were only 12 points from the victory.

But in an even vote, it came in third place.

Kopparberg / Gothenburg's historic first Swedish Championship gold was the highlight of the year, even though the turbulence during the winter where the club was closed down and moved its operations to Häcken was a harder story.

"There are both great successes at club level and individually, in large and small sports, and with good distribution among both ladies and men" wrote Petter Öhrling who had Gothenburg as his number one, it was also Jasmin Nur who motivated "The city has managed to produce a a wealth of talent and a wide range of representation where young people have been able to find role models to reflect and identify with. ”

The derby in the ladies' SM-futsal where IFK final beat Gais, Khaddi Sagnia's EC bronze, Hampus Wanne's all-star place in the handball WC and Pernilla Lindberg's four EC medals in parasiming are other highlights in the city that also arranged the CL final for ladies.

Sunbathe again at the top

Solna, which slipped out of the top 10 last year (was place 2-8 every year between 2012-2019) is again in the top.

Four on this year's list with 269 jury points, Jacob Hård and Robert Laul were two of those who had Solna as their number one.

In Solna, most of the sports revolve around AIK, but the Swedish Championship gold for the year was taken by Solna Tennis Club - the club's first ever.

AIK's huge investment in bandy bar to SM silver.

The football ladies went up in the damallsvenskan while the men had a mid-season and became ninth.

“In the shadow of Stockholm, Solna, with a population of 82,000 inhabitants, succeeds in creating many talents of its own and having elite teams in several different sports.

Football shines the brightest, where what stands out is the women's team's move up to the Allsvenskan and Alexander Isak's brilliant season in La Liga ", motivated Ida Forsgren, one of eight jury members who had Solna as their number one.
