Swedish FootGolf Open in Stockholm lands FIFG 1000 major status

Stockholm’s Swedish FootGolf Open is being staged as a FIFG 1000 major, and that status is the whole story: elite ranking points, a heavy field, and a result that can shift the international order. The official Swedish Open site labels it the FIFG 1000 Major Swedish Open 2026 and lists 30 Jul-2 Aug 2026, while Footgolf Sweden’s competition page places the Swedish Open Footgolf Tournament at Arlandastad Golf Club from 31 Jul-3 Aug.

The €280 entry fee underscores the scale of the event, which is being tied to Stockholm-area promotion around the Radisson Blu Arlandia Hotel, Stockholm. For players, this is more than a trophy chase. FIFG’s schedule lists Sweden in the FIFG 1000 category, so a strong week here carries the kind of ranking weight that can separate a title contender from the rest of the pack.

The federation has already set its 2026 Region 3, Europe, majors and FIFG 500 events, giving the Stockholm stop a place inside a structured continental calendar rather than a standalone showcase. Footgolf Sweden adds that the 2026 Swedish Footgolf Tour will consist of five events, which puts the Open at the center of the national season as well as the European one.

That combination is what makes the Swedish Open a benchmark stop. A player who wins in Stockholm will bank prestige at one of the sport’s highest-rated levels, and in FootGolf that usually means more than a line on a résumé. It is the kind of result that travels, the kind that tells the rest of the field who is handling the pressure when the points are biggest.
