Sweden is now a primary target for terrorism

The Swedes cannot celebrate a possible World Cup gold together.

The Swedish authorities do not give permission for a gold party. PDO

If Sweden wins the under-20 World Cup gold, they can’t have a market party, he says Aftonbladet.

The Swedish security police Säpo has decided together with the national terrorist threat assessment center NCT to raise the threat level of terrorism from an increased threat to a high threat. Raising the threat level means that parties consider Sweden the primary target of a terrorist attack.

The threat of an attack has therefore risen.

– Due to the security situation, we hold internal parties. We must respect level four. Unfortunately, there is no traditional parade, the general secretary of the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation Johan Stark said to Aftonbladet.

– We have a plan, but I won’t talk about it. A loss can easily change everything.

Due to the rising threat of terrorism, the authorities consider it unwise to hold large parties in public places. Swedes have usually celebrated in Kungsträdgården, a park in Stockholm, and Sergel Torg, a square in central Stockholm.

The last time Sweden won the under-20 World Cup gold was in 2012. On Friday, it will face the United States in the final, which beat Finland 3-2 in the semi-final match.
