History

Fryshuset started in the fall of 1984 in a worn-out freezer warehouse in Norra Hammarbyhamnen in Stockholm. The passionate Anders Carlberg was tasked by YMCA Söder to find a room that could function as a basketball hall and gather all the children and young people in Söder who wanted to play basketball. The old freezer warehouse was empty and they began to renovate and build a sports hall.
