The International Jugger Blog

For the seventh time, international teams have met at Järnsvenskan. During the last week-end, they fought for the skull at Sweden`s annual international Jugger festival, except for 2017 organized by the Uhu and Järnboås IF. 

Along with the tournament itself, Järnsvenskan has bands on stage, a sauna and a very comfy lake ... no wonder it attracts teams of different countries, all of them traveling to the small village of Järnboås, Bergslagen, every year. There have been USA, Australia, Russia, Ireland (every year except in 2019), Germany (every year) , Latvia, Lithuania, and many players from other countries battling over the skull.

And of course, plans for Järnsvenskan 2020  are already forming. Read more at the festival's website.

Which place would be better to show Jugger to the Vikings than a big Metal festival?
We had the honour to invite German teams for a Jugger presentation, and a mini-tounament thereafter, at Metallsvenskan: A Metal festival in the city of Örebro, right the heart of Sweden, with about 10.000 Heavy Metallers. And yes, we all had a very good time indeed!

Watch the clip, thanks to James and Sindy, to gain an impression.
and if you happen to live in Sweden (and also if not), just come over to jugger.se (see here for their facebook page) and start up your team!
Welcome, Vikings!
