The Lions’ third match in the World Cup is finally played in front of a full stand. No wonder, because Finland will meet the host team of the tournament in Monday night in Sweden.
Known as Globen, the Avicii arena, the hall, is full to the brim. There will probably be 12,530 spectators.
The evening is hot. Most of the viewers are Swedish or Swedish fans. The Lions got a huge whistle and booing concert on their neck as they came before the game.
The match will also be followed by the 1995 World Championship at VIP.
Finland won the first hockey men’s world championship in its history 30 years ago in this arena.
Finland has played two games in the World Cup and won both, albeit in France in overtime.
