Örebro Volley fell in the women's Elit Grand Prix final to Linköping 1–3 in Uppsala. Replacement player Haylee Nelson, who arrived in Sweden on New Year's Eve, played four matches before the loss. Despite a strong semifinal win over Engelholm, it wasn't enough for gold.

Örebro Volley fought valiantly in the women's Elit Grand Prix volleyball final but were defeated by Linköping 1–3 on the road in Uppsala. The match capped an intense tournament where Örebro had previously shown strength by eliminating league leaders Engelholm 3–0 in the semifinal.

Key player Haylee Nelson was brought in as a replacement for the injured Paulina Lindberg. She arrived in Sweden on New Year's Eve and managed four matches in just 18 days, with the last being the final loss. After the match, Nelson expressed disappointment: “Leaving here with silver is not what we wanted to do.”

The tournament, lasting less than three weeks, highlighted Örebro's fighting spirit despite short preparations for the new player. Linköping claimed the gold, ending Örebro's bid with silver. The event took place in Uppsala, a central hub for Swedish volleyball.
