These days, the tension around the Swedish Cup is increasing. As usual, the cup game bridges the regular seasons and the qualifier determines which teams will start in the summer’s group stage.
The majority of the competing teams in the group stage were cleared via a reading of the tables during the winter.
The 22 directly qualified teams will be joined by ten who pass the qualifying game, Bodens BK’s men and Strands IF and BBK’s ladies have each won their place.
The remaining tickets will be distributed after round 3, svenskhandboll.se reports game program:
