Last weekend the World Cup Club teams tournament was finalized. Västerås SK won the trophy for the third time in a row. The club has won this tournament 2024, 2025 and now 2026.
It was a really fair victory even if they had a good competition together with Skirö AIK. Västerås had a 2-1-victory, but in the preliminary round Skirö won their mutual game 1-0. But to win the title three times in a row is of course impressive. It is not so strange that the club is one of the best bandy clubs in the Swedish bandy history.

The final was intense from start to finish, capped off by three fantastic goals—two from Västerås’s Alice Håkansson and one from Skirö’s Elsa Tarénius. Alice emerged as the hero of the match, scoring twice from right-sided corners, while Elsa delivered the highlight of the game with a brilliant, long-distance solo raid before scoring the one and only Skirö goal.

With the end of this tournament, we have passed the first two international tournaments this season 2026-2027. But we have 5 interesting tournaments left.
2-6 JANUARY
The 2027 World Cup Club Teams Men 19 and Men 17 are to be played in Stockholm, Sweden. The venue is the indoor arena in Gubbängen. Vetlanda BK is reigning champion since 2026 when the team beat Sandvikens AIK in the final. Villa Lidköping won the Men 17 tournament after a final win against IFK Vänersborg.
1-4 APRIL
The World Championships youth was a great success in 2026. Large crowds in the stands and exciting match schedules that made the players in the different age groups to both players and fans. When they did not play a game of their own, they turned to fans of their other national teams. FIB, Swedish Bandy Federation and Uppsala BoIS have the ambition to organize tournaments that are at least as attractive in the spring of 2027. The invitation has already been sent out to the national member associations of FIB.
