Blekinge's highest women's team is forced to leave division 1 - has too few players

Sjöstaden, which is a merger of players from Karlskrona FF and Nättraby GOIF, has had teams in both division 1 and 2, but now it has become too difficult to succeed in having players in both teams.

Therefore, they are now withdrawing from division 1 and investing entirely in succeeding in filling the team that will play in division 2. Nättraby GOIF has announced this via their website.

- It has been very difficult, tough days with sad decisions.

Now we need to land a little and then take new steps and invest forward with the young girls who want something with their football, says Bibbi Svensson, sports manager in Sjöstaden, to SVT.

The series in division 2 starts for Sjöstaden on April 10, with a home match against Madesjö IF.
