Peter Forsberg has been forced to leave the hockey World Cup.
The legend is now stopped after breaking the rules.
– I had no idea about that, he says to the local newspaper Nu i Österåker.
Viaplay forcefully revealed before the hockey World Cup that it had finished with a big name as a new TV expert. It was about one of Sweden’s foremost hockey players of all time and Peter Forsberg returned to the television box again.
Foppa leaves the WC
The 50-year-old has since impressed greatly as an expert during the World Cup, where Tre Kronor has so far played three matches in the Czech Republic. But now “Foppa” has left the country and disappeared from the television screen to take a break during the tournament.

The reason is that he will go with his daughter on one Taylor Swift-concert in Stockholm. But now comes the huge twist that it won’t be like that at all because father Forsberg broke the rules.
“Had no idea”
There is a 13-year age limit for the concert at Friends Arena, regardless of whether you go with a guardian or not. And the daughter Lily is only nine years old and therefore far too young.

Therefore, there will be no concert for Peter Forsberg and his daughter.
– It was a mess, that. I hadn’t read that you can’t bring a child under 13, so she can’t go. I had no idea, I had bought us lodge tickets. So it broke in Stockholm unfortunately, we either have to wait or go abroad and watch Taylor Swift, says Foppa to the local newspaper Nu in Österåker.
Replaced in Viaplay
The TV expert also reveals his favorite song with the world artist.
– “Blank Space”, I like it, he admits in the interview.
