SWE3 is the Swedish federation for american football, flag football, and field hockey. We work for the development of our sports and our clubs and to create an environment where all our athletes can grow as players and individuals. We are involved in international contexts while being strongly rooted in the values of the Swedish sports movement.

The mission of SWE3 is to promote and manage american football, flag football, and field hockey in Sweden, and represent these sports abroad, as well as work to make the sports accessible to everyone.

Our motto is “Sweden’s best sports community!” and we want to be an open federation where all sports and athletes are welcome. We aim to foster a community where we clearly focus on both breadth and elite, our three sports grow together. Our goal is for everyone, regardless of age, to have the possibility to be active in one of our sports in a safe and easy way at the level you want, in your own hometown. SWE3 is still in many ways a new federation where our sports are to be given a platform and conditions to run and develop their activities.

SWE3 was formed in 2022 through a merger of the Swedish American Football Federation and the Swedish Field Hockey Federation. Today, SWE3 consists of about 70 clubs with approximately 3 000 licensed players, coaches, and referees.

SWE3 is affiliated with the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF), whose statutes and regulations form the basis of our operations. SWE3 is also affiliated with the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOK), the International Federation of American Football (IFAF), EuroHockey and the Fédération Internationale de Hockey (FIH).

Our sports 

American football is the largest and most popular sport in the USA, combining speed and physical demands with endurance and strategy. The sport came to Sweden in the 1970s, with the first teams formed in 1982 – the federation that is now SWE3 was established in 1984.

Flag football is a fun, high-intensity sport that requires athletic ability, technique, and strategy. The sport can be played by both adults and youths, girls and boys. Flag football is growing – today there are more than 20 million participants in over 100 countries.

Field hockey is a fast and exciting sport – did you know it is the oldest sport played with a stick and ball? Field hockey is a sport accessible to everyone. It doesn’t matter who you are or if you have a previous sports background, there is a place for you in field hockey!
