Swedish Jugger Association
Sjufo maintains and develops jugger in Sweden. We manage collaborations with other associations and help and support clubs to spread knowledge about jugger.
This is Jugger
Two teams with five players in each team.
The Runner is the only one who can take the skull and score.
The four enforcers will protect the runner in their team.
The object of the game is to put the skull in the other team’s goal.
The halves or periods are kept in order with the beat of a drum, which also allows players to keep track of the time they are tagged.
The Jugger originated from the 1989 movie “The Blood of Heroes” / “The Salute of the Jugger”.
The Spars
Four enforcers in each team use spars for attack and defense. They can choose a variant of the spars that are available and you will usually find one or two spars that you are more comfortable with.
Q-tip
Spar at a maximum of 200 centimeters. Two-handed grip. A striking surface at each end. Good range.
Chain
Staff
Spar that is a maximum of 180 centimeters. Two-handed grip. A striking surface and a surface for blocking only.
Short sword & shield
Spar of max 85 cm and a shield or the combination two short swords. The shield is only used defensively.
Longsword
Spar at a maximum of 140 centimeters. Two-handed. Good spar for beginners.
I never hurt anyone for any reason other than sticking a dog's skull on a stake.

Having such a genuine awesome community combined with an activity where I always have the opportunity to develop, both physically and mentally, is invaluable.

It does something to you when you play, it fills you with joy and energy!
Jessica Eriksson, commissioner Sjufo
The fact that me and the children can play in the same team and that everyone is allowed to participate according to their own conditions makes jugger unique and wonderful!
Sara Hjalmars, alternate Sjufo
There is such an enormous emphasis on fair play, which I really like.
Wadoud Ståhl, Accountant Sjufo
Jugger is super fun, you get to meet people with different backgrounds, genders and ages and you can see that adults and children can interact on the same level and have fun together.
