More and more regions are getting stricter restrictions which, among other things, mean that you have to refrain from playing matches and training.

But exceptions are made.

If you receive your income, in whole or in part, from your sport, you may continue to train and play matches, as in Sweden it is not possible to introduce a professional ban.

It is up to each special federation to decide who is considered a “professional professional” in their sport, and this has led to different federations making different decisions.

The men's Allsvenskan is played

One association that made a quick decision was the Swedish Floorball Association.

There, the Super League for both ladies and men has been okay, as well as the men's Allsvenskan.

But not the ladies' Allsvenskan, which has caused a lot of criticism from various quarters.

- Our highest series for men and women are covered by full or partial professional practice, including men's Swedish, the association's general Mikael Ahlerup told SVT Sport earlier this week.

"Discrimination on grounds of sex"

But as I said, many are dissatisfied with the decision, and SVT Sport can now reveal that two complaints have been received against the union to the Discrimination Ombudsman (DO).

"According to the Discrimination Act 2008: 567, it must" [...] promote equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender [...] ", which the Swedish Floorball Association violates through this action to let the men's Swedish series continue but exclude the Swedish women's," writes one complainant.

"I can see nothing but that there is discrimination on the grounds of gender," writes the other.

Not decided on investigation

However, a report (or tip / complaint as it is formally called) does not automatically mean that it leads to an investigation.

DO writes on its website that only a small percentage of tips and complaints lead to an investigation.

"DO has not yet decided whether they will initiate supervision as a result of the information received", writes DO's press officer Clas Lundstedt to SVT Sport.

SVT Sport has been in contact with the Swedish Floorball Association's general secretary Mikael Ahlerup.

He does not want to comment until he has read more on the subject.
