32 men's clubs in the allsvenskan and superetta share in the almost 73 million (allsvenskan SEK 65.15 million, the superetta 7.74) while 26 women's clubs receive part of the more than 3 million.
This gives a club like Kif Örebro SEK 272,000. Something that upsets the chairman of the damall Swedish club.
- I could almost have predicted this, but now that I see it black and white I am speechless, says Fredrik Stengarn, chairman of Kif to Nerikes Allehanda.
Thus, almost 97 percent of the government's support money goes to the gentlemen, with each club averaging 2.04 million. Each women's club receives an average of SEK 119,000.
- I'm surprised it's so bad. I think it's really sad. Obviously, being a girl and playing football is not easy, says Fredrik Stengarn, to NA.
The Swedish Football Association has distributed the money between the ladies and the men on the basis of the National Sports Federation's guidelines. This was mainly due to lost audience revenue.
- I find that there is a difference in the influx of crowds, and it is usually said that the distribution between men's and women's soccer is 90/10 when it comes to salaries and club turnover, for example - but here it is not even 90/10 but 97/3. I think that within the union a more solid distribution model would have been developed, says a disappointed KIF-Örebro chairman.
