ALING SAUCE.
In the city by Mjörn, Sweden’s best 15-year-olds will settle for the coveted Sef Trophy.
Therefore, the undersigned/oversigned has made a stop at Fotboll Sthlm.
This is to walk in Johan Elmander’s footsteps in the hope of seeing the future of Swedish football.

Right now, the European Championship final is being whistled to start. Perfect warm-up for what awaits around the knot. Tomorrow, Monday, the Sef Trophy starts. Sweden’s best P15 academy team will settle for the title that IFK Göteborg won last year.
Exactly how the Sef Trophy and the Gothia Cup are connected is not entirely obvious, even to me. But the tournament seems to be under the Gothia umbrella and the clubs are taking it very seriously.
Considering what the new (turned-year-old yesterday!) 17-year-old Lamine Yamal has accomplished in the championship that is now reaching its climax at Stures Bowling & Sportbar in Alingsås, it is not without some expectations for the upcoming Sef tournament . Joking aside.
AIK and Djurgården have sent their best 09s, and Hammarby seems to have sent most of them anyway (will find out later this week). Bojan Djordjic’s godson will rule and set up for the Blue Stripes, Zeidane Inoussa’s cousin will wreak havoc for AIK and last but not least, I am extremely curious regarding what the long and fast header specialist (unusual at this age these days) Harold Sebalu can do for Bajen.
The idea is that during the week you will get to meet the stars of the future in both text (on the site) and video (on our social media FOLLOW!).
Now I’m going to see how much England lose this final by, but if you have any thoughts regarding which players I should pay a little extra attention to, or which stories need a spotlight on them, please let me know by email or X.
Below is a slide show from my first hours in Alingsås.
→FOMO WARNING ←
First to meet me on the promenade from the station to the hotel. Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day this week is therefore dry.
GRAND HOTEL folks! You would have liked to live here. But then you have to take more than 69 bucks per month for plus.
Instead, it became “Lilla Hotellet i Alingsås”, which must be a top 3 hotel name world wide. However, judging by the wall sign, it is called “Lilla Grand Hotel”, which I did not know clearly regarding. Please note that both Pizzeria Milano (what else?) and Bon Bon candy store are in the SAME BUILDING. The little beach 24 hope that still glowed is thus suffocated.
Never miss a beat. Five places you would rather have been than in Alingsås.
Look, Agda, Barbro, Lillemor and Majken both think it’s so cozy.
Everything you need (except toilet and shower) was in the room.
Beefeater board friends, Beefeater board. We should probably enjoy ourselves here.
