Now the distribution of the government's support package for sport is complete. Football receives the largest share of the support package - SEK 128 million.

But it was nowhere near the money that associations and unions around the country applied for.

- I do not have that picture (exactly how much money different football associations have applied for, please note). 1200 of our associations have applied directly to the National Sports Federation, so I do not have that task. But we know what our event costs were, and they were over 170 million. So only the loss of events in the two highest men's and women's series exceeds the total amount we have received and it says something about the needs that exist in sports Sweden, says the association's chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson to SVT Sport, and continues:

- I have full respect for the work that has been done and we have had the privilege of being part of the reference group that has set the guidelines that will apply. Nobody gets what they ask for.

"Extremely wise decision"

Exactly the enormous need that exists, Karl-Erik Nilsson became very happy when he saw that RF has already requested an additional SEK 500 million in a new support package.

- I think that is a very wise decision, because the applications this time exceeded 1.2 billion, so the needs are extremely large. So we can hope that we will be successful even this time against the government, ”he says.

"Extremely struggling"

In its press release, RF writes that no sport has received more than 60 percent of the requested sum, which means that many associations receive significantly less money than they hoped for.

- Every krona that goes out now is positive for our associations, which has it extremely difficult. It is clear that additional resources are absolutely necessary. It is good that RF has captured that signal, and we hope that the government is quick and responsive on this issue so that there will eventually be additional funds to distribute - for the needs are screaming, says Karl-Erik Nilsson, adding:

- While it is grateful that we receive this support now, the needs are greater. That's how it is.
