Just a few weeks after Göteborgs FC won its first Swedish Championship gold, the news came that the club would close down.

On New Year's Eve, then came the turning point.

The club said that after all, they will play in the Damallsvenskan 2021 and participate in the Champions League this autumn.

To our great joy and gratitude, there has been a positive response from a couple of associations to develop women's football in Gothenburg in close cooperation between us.

We will without delay sit down with the relevant associations and discuss this.

Our ambition is to have a solution ready in the spring ", the club wrote.

According to Sportbladet, it is Häcken that Göteborgs FC joins.

Örgryte and IFK Gothenburg should also have been alternatives, but two things outweighed Häcken's advantage.

  • The hedge's training facility Gothia Park Academy, which is only a few years old, has both natural grass and artificial grass.

  • Häcken has no previous decisions that prevent a collaboration.

    On the other hand, IFK Gothenburg has at an annual meeting come to the conclusion that their team should grow organically and without taking over another club.
