In mid-June, the news came that the Licensing Board did not grant Karlskrona a license to play in the Hockeyallsvenskan due to the club's lack of liquidity. However, the club appealed the decision to the Swedish Sports Confederation. But that appeal was rejected. This means that Karlskrona will play in division 1 next season.
"There has been no reason to grant leave to appeal. RIN therefore decides not to grant leave to appeal. The Swedish Ice Hockey Association's Appeals Board's decision on 13 July 2020 must thus stand, ”writes RF in the decision.
