The large Ullevi stadium you looked at has a capacity of 40 000 seats for sports events or 75 000 for concerts when the field is used as stage and standing audience area. The smaller one (16 600 seats) where you watched IFK - Elfsborg is called "Old Ullevi" even though it is a lot newer. This may seem confusing, but it is built on the same spot as the original Ullevi stadium once was located, so it is geopgraphically correct. This is also a hint of the infamous "Gothenburg humour", "-What do we name the new one, New Ullevi is already taken by the old one. - Well, let's call it Old Ullevi then!" The large Ullevi stadium have hosted everything from the 1995 World Championships in Athletics to Motorcycle Speedway World Cup Finals to Madonna, Coldplay and Metallica. And of course a bunch of football games througout the years. The smaller one I believe is exclusively used for football.
Experience one of the Stockholm derbies between either AIK-Djurgården, Djurgården-Hammarby or AIK-Hammarby. Or the gothenburg derby between GAIS and IFK Göteborg.
Welcome to Sweden! Hope you had a good stay here. 7:14 that stadium, Ullevi, actually hosted the 1992 UEFA Euro final, and when IFK Göteborg were regulars in the UCL in the 90s they actually beat Manchester United at that very stadium!
@@TomLangford_they also beat Barcelona, Galatasaray and won 2 Europa leagues. Their best year 1982 when they beat Hamburg SV, it was the best year because they won the treble, and 1987, when they beta Dundee United
Foremost, it hosted the 1958 World Cup where Sweden lost in the final to Brazil, where a 16 year old Pelé made his sensational international breakthrough.
@@Jonsson474Not true. The final was played at Råsunda in Stockholm. And Pelé was 17. Ullevi was one of the tournament arenas though, and Brazil did play there earlier in the tournament.
A little extre info about the larger arena which hasnt been talked about by others. Ullevi was together with a couple of other stadiums built for the 1958 world cup. It was a engineering sensation as the first Stadium to have floating roof all around the arena. Many other arenas around the world have used Ullevi as inspiration since then both in Portugal, Japan and Brazil to name a few. The 1958 WC was also the first Live Televised World Cup. Bruce Springsteen has done many classical concerts on Ullevi but the most legendary of them all was in 1985 when he literally broke the foundation of the arena. The underground garage was built as a part of the new foundation. Jonathan Edwards famous world record jump over 18 meters was done during the 1995 world cup athletics on the arena. Best regards.
If you want atmosphere and best matches in sweden then you have to see matches between Malmö, AIK, Hammarby and Djurgården. Those matches are always on fire
Glad to hear you guys had a great weekend, we(IFK Göteborg) have had some pretty rough years as far as performance on the pitch goes, but hopefully, at some point in the near future we will get things right and get back to where we belong, in the top of the table! ;) Oh, and I enjoyed the video! Take care boys!
Fyi about the questions you got asked at the airport: They wan't to see your tickest to know you are telling the truth about your purpose for visiting, they also want to see your flight home to make sure your visit is for a reasonable time considering the purpose of your visit (staying 2 months for example isn't reasonable if your purpose is to watch a football game). Its just random questioning they do sometimes.
Class video guys! Always fun when u guys from UK come to us and watch our football. It’s not the best on the pitch, but the atmospheres are almost always fantastic. Especially when the biggest clubs plays. You should really try out a derby in Stockholm. When AIK plays against Hammarby or Djurgården. Them derby’s is MENTAL..
@@KungKokkosdepends what train u take, some goes only to Gothenburg and it takes 3 hours and some goes to many places and it takes 6 hours which is much cheaper, the most of the away superters takes the bus down which takes 6 hours without stops
Nice video, just so you know there are fixtures in Sweden that offer atmospheres levels above what you experienced in the IFK - Elfsborg game, should come back for any of them
Welcome to sweden! Hope you enjoyed your time here, and we REALLY hope you come back... next time try to watch some Västerås SK games, they play decent football for just coming into Allsvenskan ( the highest swedish league, yada yada yada... my english is not very good it seems 👍 ) i honestly dont know if they changed playstyle now to get some points in, because somehow the team they play against always manages to get one really, really, bad goal in... But i gotta say, it was a really great video and thank you for praising swedish football culture... You earned yourself a subscribtion!
Safe to say you visited the polar opposites when it comes to fanbase in swedish football. IFK Göteborg one of the biggest in sweden with incredible support every game despite the tough couple of years behind them. Then go to Häcken who is one of the smallest clubs in Swedish top tier and only recently got a little bit of a fanbase because of the recent good times for the club, with emphasis om "little bit of a fanbase". Smallest club in Gothenburg
So IFK Göteborg is one of the most successful Swedish clubs historically (18 League titles, semi-finalist in the European cup), Häcken is more successful lately (Champions 2022) but the former has more fans by far. Häcken is the club that organizes Gothia Cup (which by some is called the Youth World Cup) through which they make a lot of money which could be why they are more "Family-friendly"
Good video. I think if you wanna gain some more views, not only do vlogging but also talk about locations. I think it might be people wondering what that other stadium was for example.
Please go watch an AIK match on there home pitch,there home pitch is called strawberry arena,or a Hammarby IF game on Tele2 arena in Stockholm,both arenas is in Stockholm
The song AIK Ultras sing 28:21 is a tribute to the most matches played AIK, Per Karlsson. The lyrics is ”Oh Per Karlsson, worlds best Karlsson, he never scores goals, but he is still the best” They sang it because he was most know for hard work, passion and loyalty for the club and to never give up, the fans have had enough of poor performances with players give up when opponents score. Becuase we AIK-fans only have one expectation of our players and thats hard job without the ball.
The stadium you watched the game at is the same stadium my class lost my friend during a class trip, we were not from Gothenburg and it was on the way to the train home so we were quite relieved when we found him
You should go to the Stockholm derby between djurgården and aik you Will not regret it I promise it’s one if not the best atmosphere you can finde in European football
Great video! Glad you enjoyed Swedish supporter culture. :) But the AIK fans only sounded louder because you were sitting much closer. ;) Come back to Gamla Ullevi and sit in the middle and you'll get a treat! ^^
Plus: AIK (from Stockholm) is a 5-6 hours drive away. And although the Stockholm derbies are great, the "el classico" of Sweden is between Malmö FF and IFK Göteborg.
@@mattiskolessar8918 One is the top game between the two best teams, and one is a derby...

You should come and watch a Hammarby match in Stockholm. AIK and Hammarby have the best supporters in all of Sweden. You definitely wont be dissapointed by the atmosphere during those games
Can you go to Norway next (some tips) biggest club stadium Lerkendal Best club Bodø glimt Rivalry Rosenborg vs Molde Lillestøm vs Vålerenga Bodø glimt vs Tromsø
IFK Göteborg might be the biggest and most famous club in Gothenburg, but Häcken is the best in teams of football ability and has been for the past like 8 years. Only exception was 2021 when Häcken was really bad for some reason.
if you tought the first game was good u should def watch a deribed with Malmö-aik aik-djurgården or hammarby-aik it will be so many flares that you wont be able to breath truly the ebst (:
Never been asked any questions whatsoever when I arrived home at Landvetter after being abroad, you were probably unlucky. Or they were worried you were a huligan.
You should visit a Hammarby game in Stockholm especially a big fixture, the atmosphere will be amazing💚🤍 I would say that Hammarby and aik are the Too best teams in Sweden supporterwise.
For everyone asking we will be coming back to Sweden on the 29th of September for the Stockholm derby 👀
The red carpet is unrolled lads!
On the 28th there’s the Gothenburg Derby Ifk Göteborg vs. GAIS as well. Would be awesome if you could do a double visit and a comparison!
As Selenes said the Gothenburg Derby is on the 28th, it will be played on the big stadium.
@@MrTellmeister it will not be played on the big stadium. Ifk Gothenburg just announced that.

If you will visit sweden again, go to Stockholm and watch a derby. There are three derby teams Hammarby, AIK and Djurgården
bro you missed the best part of a football game, THE AFTER PARTY in the city at AVENYN its a whole different vibe bro,

Btw, this city hosts the largest youth football cup in the world, the Gothia Cup.
At 7:10, this is the arena where the ceremony takes place.

Haha! Surely there’s an “English” option?
Go to a Sthlm derby, Anyone of them (not counting brommapojkarna) as it will be far better!

Yes watch like aik vs jurgården

great video! Love to see other people from other countries visiting sweden and the football culture! You need to visit a Malmö Game aswell!
Malmő is a dangerous city due to mass migration of Muslims!
If u wanna see a classic derby game in Sweden it should be Gais VS IFK. The history between those clubs goes back to the 1890s
Nice to have you here. Welcome back!

Seemed like quite a calm match, pyro-wise. At least for IFK standards, and especially since it's basically a 'Road 40 Derby'
BOSH! Warra video to be apart off! Can’t wait for the next one
Shoutout for being an amazing camera man 🔥 plenty of more football content coming your way
Göteborg fan here the Pyro was actualy a nod to our German friends Nurnberg who we have an ultra friendship with.

Great video 👏🏻
How isnt this guy viral? he makes soo good content!
We still have terraces in Sweden, which really boosts the atmosphere.

You should react to IFK Gothenburg Vs AIK match that happened last season in the second half of the season. You would pleasantly surprised 😁
