TRAVEL INFORMATION
TRAVEL TO MALMÖ
The easiest (and possible cheapest) way to get to Malmö is to fly to Copenhagen Airport.
From Copenhagen Airport direct commuter trains leave for Malmö every 15 mins. It's a 30 min ride at approx €12 one way. The ticket is then valid all day for all public transportation in Malmö.
Either get off at Malmö Triangeln or Malmö Central for connecting busses to the player hotel.

THE FILDS
LIMHAMNSFÄLTET
Due to the EURO U17 Women Football in Malmö we had to relocate.
All games will be played at Limhamnsfältet , a huge field in central Malmö used for different types of sport activities.
The surface is grass, and filed quality is good but not excellent (3 out of 5). Especially in spring it's a bit of a lottery when it comes to quality. Malmö Stad is working with us to offer best possible quality for the participants.
SHELTER
Limhamnsfältet is an open field area. No stands or stadium facilities. A tent is set up so you can have lunch, but no other shelter is provided.
Expect any kind of weather conditions and plan accordingly.
TOILETS, WATER & SHOWERS
WC, water and showers within 150 m from the fields, but nothing directly at the fields.
FOOD
Lunch can be pre ordered and will be delivered to the fields. We use a professional caterer and the meal is prepared with athletes and physical activities in mind (carbs, proteins, and minerals).
Expected price is SEK 135 (€13) per meal. We will contact you two weeks before the tournament with food request (also includes an offer for Saturday dinner at the hotel).
Snacks and soft drinks will be sold at the fields.
