The national team players who are without a contract after Göteborgs FC has chosen to close down the elite team are Jennifer Falk, Emma Kullberg, Julia Zigiotti Olme, Filippa Angeldahl, Julia Roddar, Filippa Curmark, Stina Blackstenius, Pauline Hammarlund and Elin Rubensson.
What will happen to them in the future is unclear.
Player agent Maria Karlsson De Cecco, who has Gothenburg players Jennifer Falk, Filippa Curmark, Beata Kollmats and Hanna Wijk in her stable, was as surprised as the players over Tuesday's announcement.
- It was very unexpected, a flash from clear skies.
The way it is done means that very many players end up in a very boring situation.
We had conversations with all the players when they received the message today, to talk through how to think and handle it.
For them, it was a lot to just digest the little information they received from the club, she tells SVT Sport.
Maria Karlsson De Cecco played herself in Gothenburg for several years and now criticizes the club.
- Most Swedish clubs have realized that we can not compete with the biggest clubs in Europe, we do not have the financial muscle.
I do not know if it has dawned on Gothenburg too late that they have not really understood it.
Even now when they became Swedish champions, they went out in the first round of the Champions League.
You have to focus on educating players to sell abroad and try to win the title in Sweden, she says.
The agent is not worried that the players will be unemployed for very long.
Several clubs have heard of it, both Swedish and foreign.
- This resonated throughout the women's soccer world.
These players are national team players and Swedish champions, there is a huge interest in them.
But their heads have been set on playing in Gothenburg next year, so there are many thoughts spinning right now.
What we are doing now is trying to gather as much information as possible from Gothenburg, what is really happening?
I think it will be clear in the next few days.
In parallel, we keep in touch with these clubs to see if the players need to find a new club address and which alternative is best, says Maria Karlsson De Cecco.
She is of the opinion that the last word about Gothenburg's future in damallsvenskan does not need to be said.
National team star Elin Rubensson tells Sportbladet that she has a hope that "some strong force out there wants to continue to run the team" and Maria Karlsson De Cecco is on the same track.
- The opportunity may exist.
Then it's a lot about understanding how it would go in the purely formal way, but it's clear that that option exists, or we think it may exist and it's clear that the players may also have that hope.
We have to wait a few days and see.
