Venue
editSince the 2014–15 season, the venue for the Svenska Cupen final is decided in a draw between the two finalists. The draw for the final was held on 24 March 2024 and decided that the final would be played at Eleda Stadion, Malmö, the home ground of Malmö FF. This was the second cup final to be hosted at the venue, the previous one having been in 2016.
Background
editThe winner qualifies for the Europa League first qualifying round. However, since Malmö FF won the 2023 Allsvenskan, they are already qualified for the Champions League second qualifying round. Since Malmö FF won the final, the Europa League spot was passed to the second-placed team in 2023 Allsvenskan, IF Elfsborg, and the second Conference League second qualifying round spot was passed to the fourth-placed team, Djurgårdens IF.
Malmö played their first final since 2022 and their 22nd in total. Djurgården played their first final since 2018 and their tenth in total. Both clubs won in their previous final appearances. Having met in 1951, 1975, 1989, and 2018, this was the fifth final to contest the two clubs. Malmö had won three of the prior meetings in the final of the competition while Djurgården had won one. The clubs faced each other once in Allsvenskan prior to the cup final, at Tele2 Arena on 25 April where Malmö won 1–0.
