Says about the agreements: "Must be equal for everyone"

In a 24-page opinion, the union writes that the compensation paid is largely equal.

- If it's equal, it's great. That's just the way it should be, national team captain Caroline Seger tells TT and continues:

- I have no need to say that I should have money from the national team, but then it should be the same for everyone. It's nothing strange, I think. Because we do exactly the same work and represent the national team.

However, she points out that these are current national team agreements, which for the ladies became clear in mid-November 2017.

- I have no idea what it has looked like before. If it has been equal before, it is great, but we have never seen it or anyone else, says Caroline Seger.

The union writes, among other things, that the compensation that the players receive during a national team collection is equal for both genders, in some cases greater for the ladies because they receive compensation regardless of where a collection takes place, while the men only receive compensation for away matches.

At the same time, a victory in a competition match gives as much money to the men as to the ladies, a so-called match prize.

The players also receive an audience prize at home matches, where the union balances the ladies by giving them a larger share of the ticket price than the men get, as the women's matches often mean smaller crowds and cheaper tickets.

But when it comes to championship bonuses, which are paid by the international federations Fifa and Uefa, the sums differ markedly between ladies and gentlemen.

"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.
