Table Hockey World Championship: When the Sport Finally Comes Home Again

After 30 years of waiting, the time has finally come – the Table Hockey World Championship is making a historic return to Sweden, and not just to any place, but to Umeå, the very hometown of table hockey. With its rich traditions and standout players, Umeå has long been a central hub for organized table hockey, and now the city will host the world championship.

A City with Table Hockey in Its Blood
Umeå has a table hockey history that few other places can match. It is home to the world’s oldest table hockey club and the longest continuously running league, which has been played every Tuesday since 1985. The city has also produced legendary players such as Jacob Lindahl, two-time world champion and eight-time Swedish champion (including seven consecutive titles from 1991 to 1997).

And Peter Östlund, World Championship bronze medalist, Swedish champion, and World Veterans Champion.

Umeå’s table hockey story wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Lars-Erik Svensson, the pioneer who organized the sport in the city and has nearly 1,700 ranked tournaments to his name.

Umeå Brings the World Championship to Nolia Arena
When Sweden decided to apply to host the 2025 World Championship, Umeå was an obvious choice. With the support of the local government, experience from hosting national championships, and access to a modern arena, the selection landed on the multipurpose hall at Nolia Arena – a newly built sports venue from 2022, offering over 1,000 square meters of playing area and seating for 1,700 spectators.

Tournament director Joakim Åström is eagerly looking forward to the championship:
“Umeå is something of a home city for table hockey, so it feels amazing that the World Championship will be played here. It’s like table hockey is coming home,” he says.

An exciting tournament now awaits, where the world’s best table hockey players will battle for the title, and Umeå will have the chance to show why it remains one of the sport’s great epicenters. With a long history, passionate players, and a brand-new arena, the 2025 Table Hockey World Championship is shaping up to be an unforgettable event – both for the sport and for Umeå.
