The Swedish floor association stopped some of the business during the week, but decided that matches "of importance" should be played as intended. For the IBK Dalens gentlemen it meant a away match against Helsingborg on Saturday.

- I demand that the race manager (Magnus Nilsson) resign. He should resign tomorrow, this is a joke, says a furious Urban Karlsson on Saturday night.

Karlsson tried to talk to the union about the situation already on Friday night - but was told that the match would be played regardless.

- The players started calling me on Friday, no one wanted to go and many were worried, he says.

"Embarrassingly Bad"

At 8.25am on Saturday, the players flew to Bromma, to change flights and move on to Helsingborg. The match ended with a victory for Helsingborg after penalties.

Worried Dalens players are now sitting in a hotel room waiting to be sent home on Sunday.

- It is embarrassingly badly handled by the floor association. The whole world has paused all sports, except Russia and the Swedish Indoor Association. I'm just getting pissed. Nobody wanted to go this morning.

- Many of the players are very worried. It has felt crap today. I am incredibly disappointed with the chairman of the floor association. He can't even answer when you call. The union did not act, I do not understand why you have not addressed this before. But it's good that they made a poodle and shut down now anyway.

Helsingborg to playoffs - defeated the Valley

Worried players

Karlsson is aware that there are significantly more infected people in Skåne and in southern Sweden compared to Västerbotten, which currently has eleven cases identified.

- It is clear that many people are worried about having been infected now, it will probably show in a week how this trip affects us and if someone has become infected.

SVT has sought out the floor association on repeated occasions.
