SM 2007 will be played at Sportarenan in the outskirts of Göteborg. This season SM replaces the annual tournament Göteborg Royal Ocean Race, but the maritime touch will be stronger than ever - with the games 200 meters from the sea of Kattegat. If you are a meteorologist, that is. If you happen to be a fisherman, the sea is instead Skagerrak, as they disagree on what sea ends where. If you are nothing but a simple table hockey player, you probably couldn't care less about it all. The "Sport" in Sportarenan normally refers to tennis, badminton and floorball. The arena has a cafeteria and racket sports shop that offer products of varying relevance for a table hockey athlete. Information Chairs are not available for the games. If you cannot bring your own chair, you can rent one for 10 SEK / 1 €. Please preorder at sm@bordshockey.net. Outdoor shoes and shoes with dark soles are not allowed at the games area.
