The 1975 Båstad protests were protests against a Sweden–Chile tennis match played in Båstad as part of the 1975 Davis Cup, organised due to opposition to the Chilean military dictatorship which had taken power two years prior. Learning from the 1968 Båstad riots, police presence was heavy, with little to no violence during the protests and the game being played as planned.
