FC Rosengård is today one of Sweden's best clubs on the women's side and the leading women's club in Malmö.

But that may change.

This year, Malmö FF started the women's team, which plays in division four, which will get to the top as quickly as possible.

- I think it is good that Malmö is investing, that they also get women's and girls' football in their association.

It is clear that it will be a threat, but it will also mean that we have to step up and take that fight, says Rosengård's sports director Therese Sjögran to SVT Sport.

"Just hope they do it right"

It is not just Malmö FF of the classic big clubs on the men's side that started the women's team recently.

This year alone, IFK Gothenburg, Falkenberg and Elfsborg have also started.

Varberg 2019, IFK Norrköping took Norrköping women into their association in 2018 and the same year Häcken decided to make an investment against the elite with his women's team.

- For me, it's just cool and I just hope they do it the right way.

I think we need to start investing in women's football to keep up with Europe.

It will be interesting to see where Sweden ends up in the food chain because as it is now we can not compete with wages and then we have to look at our youth activities, how do we make it better ?, says Sjögran.

"Think we will find our place"

Today's damallsvenska largely consists of clubs with mainly a ladies' business.

But Sjögran does not believe that the clubs will die out when teams such as Malmö start to advance in the league system.

- It is clear that Malmö with its resources will run away but I still think we will find our place and we know where we are right now so we will see what happens, she says.
