Mjällby and Hammarby have reached the final of the Swedish Cup after winning their semifinals. The final will be played on May 14, but the venue has not yet been decided. According to reports, it will be determined by a draw which team gets home advantage.
This setup has reportedly drawn strong reactions from players. Hammarby goalkeeper Warner Hahn reportedly questioned why the final is not played on a neutral ground, comparing it to other countries like England or the Netherlands. Mjällby defender Tom Pettersson also reportedly criticized the arrangement, calling it 'crazy' and saying it gives too much advantage.
