Dalarna, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Västerås also expressed their interests for hosting. On 27 November 2004, the Swedish Bandy Association announced that the tournament would be played either in Dalarna or in Stockholm.[3][4] On 14 January 2005, it was announced that Stockholm would host the tournament.[5]
