The survey shows that the unions know of over 100 associations that are threatened with closure due to the pandemic and close to 9,000, four out of ten, who have had a difficult time financially.

More than half of the unions that received state support, 24 out of 40, do not think that the government's support package of SEK 500 million was sufficient.

- They could not have expressed it better.

So far, 43 percent (of the associations) have been compensated and that means that 57 percent have not received any compensation.

You do not have to be Einstein to calculate that our federations and associations are having a hard time and hard work, says the Swedish Sports Confederation's chairman Björn Eriksson to SVT Sport.

"Everyone has a responsibility to put their mouth to the mouth"

During the autumn and winter, the government will contribute an additional SEK 1 billion to the sports movement.

Already on Monday, the Swedish Sports Confederation will decide how half of this money will be distributed between federations and associations.

But according to the survey, almost 60 percent of the unions state that the total support package of SEK 1.5 billion will not be enough.

"We need significantly more if our associations are to survive and have power after the pandemic is over," writes the bandy association's chairman Per-Anders Gustafsson in the survey.

The floorball association's chairman Märit Bergendahl writes: “The support is not enough to cover all losses, but it is not reasonable either.

For us to survive, however, I believe that the support is sufficient.

Everyone has a responsibility to put their mouth to the food bag and review their costs. ”

Has raised SEK 2 billion

This week, the Swedish Sports Confederation called for additional support in the form of SEK 2 billion for sports in 2021.

- We get 1.5 billion this year but have stated that next year we need a minimum of 2 billion.

If there is anything where I feel the members' backs, it is that the political system sets up these guidelines for 2021, because otherwise this will end badly, says Björn Eriksson.

Minister of Culture and Democracy Amanda Lind (MP), who is responsible for sports issues, is aware that more money may need to be added.

In an email to SVT Sport, she writes:

“Since the outbreak of the pandemic, I have been clear that sport will survive the crisis, and by 2020 we have almost doubled government support for sport.

We have a strong sports movement in Sweden that plays a major role in people's lives and for our children's health.

We need that even after the corona.

So yes, as long as sport is threatened by the pandemic, we must be prepared to support it. "
