Among other things, the union writes in the opinion that the compensation players receive during a national team meeting is equal for both genders. Even a victory in a competition international gives as much money to the men as to the ladies, a so-called match prize.

- We think our remuneration is fair. It is very important to us. There is no prestige in it, we rather think it is good that DO looks at this purely objective. Should they find that adjustments need to be made, we will address it and do better, says the union's secretary general Håkan Sjöstrand to SVT Sport.

"You get a fair share of the profits"

But what is "the culprit in drama" seen from an equality perspective are bonuses at championships. A national team that goes a long way in a championship can be a real bargain for unions and players - at least on the men's side.

- It's basically a profit-sharing principle. You get a fair share of the profits, where we negotiate and agree before each championship. There, there were so many differences between women's and men's championships that we only had a surplus from the men's championships.

But exactly what the sums in question are, Sjöstrand does not want to reveal. In the opinion, SvFF requests continued confidentiality regarding the agreements.

Why do you want to keep it covered?

- It is really to respect both parties and what they have agreed on. We must respect that settlement.

The men received 167 million - the women's bronze gave 24 million

When a percentage of the winning money goes to players who have participated in championships, there is automatically a big difference between ladies and gentlemen. This is because the sums paid by the international unions Fifa and Uefa differ significantly between the sexes.

"By way of example, SvFF received about SEK 167 million from Fifa for the quarterfinals event in last year's men's World Cup, while the bronze place in this year's women's World Cup only gave about SEK 24 million," SvFF writes in its opinion.

Is there a discussion about redistributing the money?

- We're trying to push it. We do not like the differences we see, but we are a nation of 200. When it is congresses and in other forums we push on these issues. We want to balance it all based on our conditions.

- Here we work together with the other Nordic countries. No one would say that it is completely equal between women's and men's soccer, we don't think it is, so we try to influence in the various forums where we can work.

You write at the same time that you do not see this as a DO case?

- No, because the players who represent Sweden in a national team are not employees and we are not employers. So, in this respect, the Discrimination Act does not apply to this. But we still think that DO should look at this. That is why we have submitted all information.
