- She has invited to meetings with various actors to discuss the situation, says Lind's press contact Björn Lindgren to TV4's Fotbollskanalen.

During the month of August, a message is expected from the Public Health Agency about the sports movement being allowed to start taking in audiences at its events. As there is currently a ban on crowds of over 50 people, the arenas have been empty so far this summer.

The entire event industry has demanded a timetable for a restart as the industry without audience revenue is currently experiencing perhaps the worst recession they have experienced.

In sports, football in particular has been the voice that most clearly marked its dissatisfaction with the lack of communication from the Swedish Public Health Agency. Mats Enquist, Secretary General of Swedish Elite Football (Sef), has appealed for guidance on how audiences can gradually return in the future - but without hearing. He believes that the dialogue has been non-existent.

- There are lots of issues we must discuss in time, long before an opening. There we see a shortcoming in the Swedish approach, Enquist told TT a few weeks ago.

But now perhaps the sports movement has made a breakthrough. In the next few days, they will sit down in a meeting directly with the government to discuss the way forward.

According to information to TT, the Swedish Football Association (SvFF) is one of the players who will sit around the table.

TV4's Fotbollskanalen reports that SvFF is about to have a meeting with Minister of Culture Amanda Lind (MP) to discuss the issue.

- What I can say is that she has invited to meetings with various actors to discuss the situation. I can not say more than that, says Lind's press contact Björn Lindgren to the site.

The meeting may take place already this week. Whether the Public Health Agency itself will be present is not confirmed.

In Denmark, which has already gradually opened up to the public, the time has been that the sports movement has had direct consultation with the government, which has made all decisions, and where the Danish public health authority has only acted as a sounding board and adviser.

TT has sought representatives from the Swedish Football Association (SvFF) and the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF) without success.
