Peak performance. Peak passion.

Hockey fever hits Luleå every spring – and this year it’s burning hotter than ever. The men’s team has powered their way to a long-awaited final, and on Thursday, they’ve got the chance to bring home the gold at Coop Norrbotten Arena.
And if they win? Expect joyful chaos, non-stop celebrations, and a city that’s been thirsting for a championship since… 1996 – their one and only title. Yep, it’s been a while.

If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a playoff ticket, get ready for something truly special. The fans? Wildly passionate. The light and sound show? Absolutely next level. It’s not just a game – it’s an all-out spectacle that some people say has no rival anywhere in the world.

At the iconic Coop Norrbotten Arena (aka Delfinen) and the buzzing Luleå Energi Arena (home of top basketball), the action isn’t limited to the ice or the court. Here, you’ll also find food and drink options for every craving – whether you’re fueling up with a juicy burger before puck drop, grabbing a treat during intermission, or toasting a win with something cold.

But hey – the sports greatness in Norrbotten doesn’t stop at men’s hockey.
Luleå Hockey’s women’s team? A total powerhouse, with multiple Swedish championships and yet another final this year. In Boden, the local women’s handball team just climbed into Sweden’s top league. And in Piteå, football reigns supreme – Piteå IF’s women’s squad even took home gold in 2018.

And let’s not forget: Luleå might just be Sweden’s ultimate basketball city. Luleå Basket recently scored another championship, while the men’s team, BC Luleå, are currently battling it out in the semifinals.

So, if you’re looking for world-class sports, unforgettable energy, and the kind of atmosphere that gives you goosebumps – Norrbotten’s got it all.
Don’t miss your chance to feel the magic.
