In the last 20 years, several football associations around Västmanland have shut down their women's teams at senior level.
Surahammars FK and Skultuna IS are two examples that last season were forced to withdraw from league play when there were too few players.
In Västerås the development is different, for example Västerås BK 30, Gideonsbergs IF, IFK Västerås and Västerås SK have several teams in the league system.

In the clip, Henrik Haraldsson worries about development and its consequences.
This is the first part in a series about women's football in Västmanland.
