The Swedish Super League (SSL) finals will take place in Gavlehovshallen in Gävle on the 24th of April. The SSL finals will be shown on Sveriges Television SVT and the international audience will also have the possibility to watch the SSL finals live.
The Swedish Floorball Federation made the decision about Gavlehovshallen when the Swedish Federation and Stockholm Live had agreed not to arrange the final in the Ericsson Globe this spring. The Gavlehovshallen is a modern arena with the spectator capacity of 2142 persons. The Floorball Champions Cup 2019 was organised in Gavlehovshallen.
Sveriges Television (SVT) is the Swedish public service television company with the widest range of programming of all TV companies in Sweden. The regular season Men’s and Women’s SSL matches as well as the play-offs matches are all available SportExpressen Play. In addition, the Swedish finals will be shown on SVT.
– The Swedish SSL finals will also be available for the international audience. The games will be found at the SSL website in the same way as all the other games during the regular season and the playoffs, Tobias Josefsson, Head of content at SSL.se, informs
At the moment international viewers have the possibility to watch SSL games both live and on demand. A subscription to view all games from SSL, both Women and Men, costs EUR 28.5 per month and a single game is available for EUR 13.5. For more information, visit: www.ssl.se/view-ssl
– Floorball is a popular sport with lots of practitioners and SSL is a modern league that is growing. This makes us interesting and relevant for more and more people. The large reach that SVT has is attractive for both floorball as a sport and SSL as a league. The combination of SSL and SVT is really excellent, says SSL’s CEO Jörgen Lindgren in SSL’s press release and continues.
– That in this way we will reach a wide audience with the Swedish Championship finals, the highlight of the year in Swedish Floorball, is incredibly gratifying!
– We want to show our viewers decisive gold fights directly on SVT and the Swedish finals in floorball fit perfectly into our plan. Floorball is a sport that many people have a relationship with and the Swedish Championship finals are usually a big folk festival that belongs on national television, says SVT’s Sports Director Åsa Edlund Jönsson.
SSL also works on gender equality in all its work.
– The methodological work that SVT Sport engages in based on its goal of equal coverage is in line with what SSL stands for. That the editorial board was awarded the Swedish Gender Equality Prize 2020 is proof of this. We are proud to be able to continue on the established path together by spreading SSL Women and SSL Men to even more people, Jörgen Lindgren concludes.
