Piteå 2020-04-08
“Dear football friends,
The board of Piteå Summer Games has, in the light of the ongoing pandemic, and in consultation with the Region’s infection control physician, decided to cancel the tournament of 2020.
Naturally, we are devastated to make this announcement, but we hope for understanding from all the players, leaders, referees, collaborators and partners. We hope to see you in 2021.”
- Christer Norberg , Chairman of the Board
Piteå Summer Games is Sweden's second biggest youth tournament and attracts participants from all over the world. In order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and to ensure everyone’s health, we have decided to cancel Piteå Summer Games 2020. In this difficult situation it is most important to do everything possible to help our world to get back to ‘normal’.
“For us, of course, it is a sense of dejection, mixed with a great respect for the pandemic currently underway and how it affects everyone's everyday lives. It will get better, and we will meet again in Piteå, just not in the summer of 2020. For Piteå Summer Games and all the associations involved in the event, as well as the city of Piteå and all its traders, it has a huge negative impact. We hope to move forward, together, and that we will be strengthened from this as well. Take care out there, football will be around after 2020 too!”
- Anna Bogren Dalberg, Tournament manager, Piteå Summer Games

Once again, it is with a heavy heart that we cancel Piteå Summer Games of 2020.
