Dalarna, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Västerås also expressed interest in hosting the championship. On 27 November 2004, the Swedish Bandy Association announced that the tournament would be played either in Dalarna or in Stockholm. On 14 January 2005, it was announced that Stockholm would host the event.
