The Ball Is Round – 100 Years of TFF Through the Memories of Trelleborg Residents

Soccer is more than just scores, standings, and 90 minutes on the field. It’s memories from Vångavallen, old jerseys tucked away in the back of the closet, nerve-wracking moments on the sidelines, and stories that have been passed down through generations. As Trelleborgs FF celebrates its 100th anniversary, the Trelleborg Museum wants to tell the club’s story—together with the people of Trelleborg.

The exhibition opens on September 9 "The Ball Is Round – TFF 100 Years" at the Trelleborg Museum. It will be a participatory exhibition exploring the significance of soccer and Trelleborgs FF —not only as a sport but also as a cultural phenomenon, a way of life, and part of the city’s shared narrative.

In preparation for the exhibition, the museum has collected memories, photographs, stories, and artifacts from people who, in various ways, have been part of the club’s history. These include players and coaches, but also fans, parents, and others who have followed the team over the years.

One club—thousands of stories

Trelleborgs FF The history of Trelleborgs FF isn’t just about the big games and moments on the field. It’s also about all the people connected to the club and the personal stories that rarely make it into the history books.

And of course, there are years that bring back particularly vivid memories. What do you remember, for example, from 1994?

Through "The Ball Is Round – TFF 100 Years" , these personal stories take center stage and, together, paint a broader picture of what soccer and TFF have meant to Trelleborg across generations.

Do you have anything at home that tells a piece of history? Or a memory that still lingers? If so, your story could become part of the exhibition and TFF’s 100th-anniversary celebration.

Because when a club turns 100, it’s not just the club’s history that’s being told—it’s also the story of the people, the city, and all the moments that have made TFF a part of Trelleborg.

Saudi soccer team chose Trelleborg for its training camp

Trelleborg recently welcomed an international soccer team. The Saudi soccer team Al Diriyah FC held a two-week training camp in Trelleborg, using Vångavallen as their training facility and the Willow Hotel as their base.

Behind the training camp is Al Fluin, owner of the sports travel agency Here We Go, who recommended Trelleborg to the club. With strong connections, a peaceful setting, excellent training facilities, and a pleasant climate, Trelleborg was chosen as the site for the team’s preseason camp.

In total, nearly 70 people traveled to Trelleborg, and a large portion of the group stayed at the Willow Hotel. The visit generated approximately 1,000 hotel nights and thus provided a significant boost to the local tourism industry.

During their stay, the team managed to train at Vångavallen, build team spirit, and face Trelleborgs FF in a practice match.

The visit highlights Trelleborg’s potential as a destination for international sports teams and training camps. The combination of excellent training facilities, accommodations, transportation, and proximity to the continent creates favorable conditions for more international sports visits in the future.

– “It’s great that Trelleborg has the opportunity to welcome international teams and showcase what the city has to offer. The visit is also a fine example of how sports tourism can contribute to both more visitors and more hotel stays in Trelleborg,” says Pehr Palm, CEO of Visit Trelleborg.

The Junior Swedish Weightlifting Championships are coming to Trelleborg in 2027!

Following a successful Senior Swedish Weightlifting Championship in the summer of 2025, it is now clear that Trelleborg will once again host a Swedish championship. In 2027, the Junior Swedish Weightlifting Championship will be held at Söderslättshallen.

It was in the summer of 2025 that Trelleborg’s Athletics & Wrestling Club (TABK) hosted the Swedish Senior Weightlifting Championships. The championships were well-received by the Swedish Weightlifting Federation, participants, and visitors—as well as by the municipality of Trelleborg.

It has now been confirmed that the federation and Trelleborgs ABK will continue their partnership. Trelleborg will host the 2027 Swedish Junior Weightlifting Championships, with Söderslättshallen serving as the competition venue. The exact date will be set by the Swedish Weightlifting Federation in the fall of 2026.

Ahead of the championship, Trelleborgs ABK is collaborating with the City of Trelleborg and Visit Trelleborg to create an even better event and provide both competitors and visitors with a great experience.

“We are truly delighted to welcome the JSM to Trelleborg, Sweden’s southernmost city, in 2027. With so many talented junior weightlifters in Sweden, from north to south, we at TABK are convinced that we will see many impressive lifts and a wonderful sense of community when the Swedish junior weightlifting champions are crowned. “See you at Söderslättshallen in 2027,” says Rolf Svensson, president of Trelleborgs ABK.

The Junior Swedish Championships bring together young weightlifters from all over Sweden and are becoming an even bigger sporting event that attracts athletes, coaches, families, and visitors to Trelleborg.

More information about the dates and competition schedule will be provided once the Swedish Weightlifting Federation has set the competition date in the fall of 2026.

European Sailing Championships – European J24 Open Championship

In August, the international sailing world will have its eyes on Gislövs Läge, off the coast of Trelleborg. From August 18 to 23, the Trelleborg Yacht Club will host the European Championship in the J/24 class—one of the world’s most established racing classes.

During the championship, sailors from several European countries will gather in Gislövs Läge for four days of intense racing on the waters off the coast. About 25–30 boats are expected to participate, with four to five people on each crew.

The race course is located just outside the harbor, which means that both spectators and visitors can watch parts of the races from shore. In addition to the races, there will also be an opening ceremony, an “after-sail” event, and a closing awards ceremony during the week.

The fact that the European Championship is coming to Trelleborg is a major event for the Trelleborg Boat Club and will also bring international attention to the destination. Gislövs Läge, with its coastal location and welcoming harbor atmosphere, will become a gathering place for sailors and visitors from all over Europe for a few days.

The championship is the largest event to date in the history of the Trelleborg Boat Club and gives Trelleborg the opportunity to further strengthen its position as a destination for international sporting events.
