FanCode ECS Sweden Stockholm provides an opportunity for ten teams to showcase their skills, contesting 48 games over 12 days. Every game will be live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.
Started at Stockholm University by Swedish students who learnt cricket during an exchange in New Zealand, the club was originally named as Stockholms Akademiska Cricketsällskap. In 2020, the club joined forces with Djurgarden IF, leading to its change of name. DIF enjoyed an outstanding run at Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka, Stockholm last season with a 4-1 win/loss record. DIF fell agonisingly short at the final hurdle against eventual champions Nacka, but will aim to go one better to add to their two National T20 titles.
