More children and young people are participating in some form of sport in Sweden, and cheerleading is one of the sports that has increased the most, according to statistics from Riksidrottsförbundet. Since 2020, cheerleading activity in Sweden has increased by over 60 percent, according to Riksidrottsförbundet. In 2024, the sport was the 17th largest for children and young people in Sweden.
Svenska Cheerleadingförbundet's secretary general Katarina Eriksson said in a press release that seeing such a large increase in normal activity is incredibly significant and shows that cheerleading is a sport to be reckoned with. In Nyköping, the cheerleading club Legacy Allstars exists.
