As of yesterday Thursday, it was again allowed with sports and leisure activities for all ages in Gothenburg city's sports facilities.

But the opening did not last long.

Already on Friday night, a new message came - everything closes again from Saturday.

- We are aware of and regret that we have for a short time had to make many different changes in terms of access to the city's sports facilities, but it is important that we act quickly and follow the restrictions and recommendations given by the authorities, says Anders Ramsby, director of sports. and the association administration in a press release.

Elite athletes may continue

The decision means that all of the City of Gothenburg's indoor facilities for sports and exercise are closed to both the general public and bookings, and that ball pitches are also closed to bookings.

The only exception is that the premises are open to professional elite athletes.

- It is extremely sad to have to close our facilities, but now we must heed the government's call.

We know that events and training mean a lot to many people, so I understand if the disappointment is great, says Lotta Nibell, CEO of Got Event in the same press release.
