The Royal Swedish Roller Derby, also calledthe Royals, is a roller derby league based in Stockholm that was founded in 2011. Unlike other Swedish roller derby leagues, the Royals, in addition to their participation in the national league, also have a domestic series game with three teams. Royals was founded in 2011, after some of the founders of Stockholm Roller Derby and Luleå Roller Derby felt something was missing. They wanted to create an underground feeling in Swedish roller derby and decided to start what they called "Sweden's first riot league". Royal's A-team is called The Royal Army and played the 2015/2016 season in the Elitserien. In 2017, the team is back in Division 1 and fighting for revenge. Since spring 2016, they also have a B team called The Royal Brigade. Other teams mainly play against each other and are called Brass Knuckle Harlots, Rottin' Rollers and Slayer Sisters.
