Bidding[]

In February 2004, Hälsingland expressed its interest for hosting the tournament, with the final game intended to be played inside the Edsbyn Arena to avoid being affected by weather conditions.[2]

Dalarna, Göteborg, 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]
