Venue

[edit]

Since 2014–15, Svenska Cupen finals have been held in the home ground of the higher-seeded team of the tournament in an effort to bolster attendance and fan support. Bravida Arena, home pitch of BK Häcken, hosted its first Svenska Cupen final since its opening in June 2015.

Background

[edit]

Häcken competed in its third-ever final, having won its only previous title in 2015–16, beating Malmö FF in a penalty shootout. Eskilstuna made its first-ever appearance in a Svenska Cupen final in just its third season as a club in its current iteration. Formerly, the club competed as FC Väsby United (2005–12) and AFC United (2013–16), and spent the 2018 season in the second-tier Superettan.
