Football Tryouts in Stockholm: How to Join
What is “prova på”?
A free or low-cost session to test the team. Most clubs welcome new players at these open training sessions. You can watch, join drills, and meet coaches. No commitment needed.
When and where do tryouts happen?
Most Stockholm clubs run prova på sessions in late August and January. August sessions prepare for autumn leagues. January sessions start the spring season. Some clubs offer weekly open training year-round, especially in Divisions 5–7. Check club websites or Laget.se for exact dates. No appointment needed, but email first if you are unsure about timing or location.
For beginners and newcomers
You do not need experience to attend. Swedish youth football focuses on inclusion and development, not just competition. Coaches expect players of all levels at tryouts. New to Sweden? Many teams have English-speaking staff or players. Clubs want to help you settle in and learn.
