BVWC 2025 Adelaide – Finals

The last day of this trip was upon us, and it greeted us with a forecast of 30C and clear blue skies. And since the games didn’t start until 1pm, we had the whole morning to explore Adelaide in the beautiful weather. We had breakfast out in Glenelg where we met up with a few other Gold Coasters and Laura’s cousin. It was busy and we had to wait a bit, but it was a really good breakfast. We had a look at the beach courts on the beach where some other Gold Coasters were playing, but that line to Quing of the Court did not seem like my idea of fun. This was a trip about enjoying the sport from afar, even though it was itching in my fingers the whole week to play myself.

BVWC 2025 Adelaide – Semi Finals

Saturday was all about those four semifinals. And rain. I thought it was Melbourne which was famous for all seasons in one day, but Adelaide has been weird with the weather. When we arrived, it was sunny, but icy cold winds and as soon as the sun set, it got freezing! Bring our puffer jackets was definitely a good idea. Then comes Saturday, warmer than previous days, but wet. Different kind of wet from QLD though. Much lighter. The drops just seem to be heavy back home. And spoiler for Sunday (since this is written after the event), Adelaide, South Australia, offered 30C and clear blue skies. We got to experience it all during that week.

Our seats were on first row for the evening session. It was like we were on the court with the players.

BVWC 2025 Adelaide – Quarter Finals

Friday meant Quarter Finals! And it also meant that everyone we know from Gold Coast flew in. And I guess everyone else as well. It had been fairly empty on the stands up until Friday evening when it all of a sudden pretty much filled up. I am so glad we flew earlier and see at least one game of my other favorite teams because from QF’s, the focus was only on Sweden.

BVWC 2025 Adelaide – Round of 16

This is where things really started happening. Lots of important games in one day. But first of all, brekkie, and a little walkaround in central Adelaide before the first game we wanted to watch.

BVWC 2025 Adelaide – Round of 32

I am trying to find the correct words for this experience, but it’s hard. Mikael and I have experienced the most important event in Swedish sports history. And it was my sport. How incredible is that? I still can’t believe we were there to be completely honest.

When tickets went on pre-sale in March 2025, I bought tickets the same day for Round of 16 all the way through to the finals. Surely Sweden would get to play at least a few of those games. Oh boy were we in for a surprise.
