Alexander Isak was attacked both verbally and physically in the international match against Romania in November. Among other things, the national team striker got a golf ball thrown at him.

This led Uefa to launch an investigation into Romania, which was released a few weeks later. Then, in turn, the Swedish Football Association chose to appeal against Uefa's verdict when they considered the decision to be wrong.

Now the answer has come to that question as well, and the Swedish appeal is rejected.

- We have received a message where we simply cannot find out the reasons behind what they have come to, says SvFF's secretary general Håkan Sjöstrand to SVT Sport.

Isaac is supported by the union

How do you see it?

- We think it is very strange simply. It shows that you either don't believe in the testimonies we sent in via Alexander Isaac and Robin Quaison, or you don't think it's serious enough. I honestly don't know which one I think is the worst.

- First of all, the event is so serious that they are exposed to this type of racism. We must do everything we can to counteract it. The regulatory framework is as it is, but then we must in a longer perspective think about whether we should have opinions about the existing regulations.

How do you handle the covenant against the players who have given the testimonies?

- I talked to Alexander just before Christmas about the whole situation. He has moved on from that perspective and must focus on the sporting forward. They should know that we fully support them and they know it, I would say.

SVT Sport has sought Uefa for a comment, but they only refer to the decision.
