Youth Football Costs in Stockholm
Typical fees
Most youth clubs charge 400–800 SEK per season for U8–U19. The fee covers weekly training, coach costs, pitch time, and home match admin. Some teams join cups or friendlies. Expect 100–300 SEK extra for each event. Travel costs vary by distance. Clubs publish fees on their sites and at signup. Ask how the club bills: per term or per season.
Financial support
Sweden offers idrottsbidrag, a sports allowance of about 500 SEK per child and year. Your municipality may pay this directly to families. Ask your school or local office for the current rules. Many non‑profit clubs in Stockholm keep fees low for fairness. Clubs also offer waivers or payment plans for low‑income families. Some accept monthly payments. Tell the club early if fees are hard to manage. The process is common and handled with care. Read our joining guide for next steps: How to Join a Team.
Gear costs and savings
You need football boots, shin guards, and training kit. New gear costs about 600–1,500 SEK. Prices depend on brand and season. Many clubs host second‑hand swaps in August and January. Try the swap first before you buy new. Ask if the club lends boots for your first sessions. Buy shin guards that fit well and feel firm. A simple base layer helps in winter. Mark your child’s name on each item.
Where to start
Look at a nearby non‑profit club first. Confirm age group, fee, and training nights. Then book a prova på session. Try the group and speak with the coach. If your family needs support, ask the coach or registrar the same day. Bring any documents your municipality requests. When you are ready, complete the form here: Register.
