22-year-old Matilda Plan from Katrineholm chose not to opt out.

Many thought she would quit bandy and invest everything in football.

But she has loved bandy and continued.

-I have proven that it is possible to do double sports.

It is important to have a dialogue and be honest: "I will not stop".

And then to prove that you can - and I did, she tells SVT Sport.

Decided the World Cup final

She is a full back and team captain in Eskilstuna United and a U23 national team player in football.

In bandy, she was a striker who scored goals in Västerås SK and decided the World Cup final this spring with two goals against Russia.

- If I had put bandy aside at high school, I probably would not have continued with football either.

I was tired because you play football 11 months a year.

That's why it was nice to have the bandy, it has helped me get motivation back to football, she says.

Chosen to quit

Now she has still chosen to quit bandy, partly because she won everything and partly because her back said no.

It will be too tough to throw yourself between two sports and in addition, the back problems come from the bandy swing, she has been told.

-Playing bandy is the most fun there is.

But my physical shape says that it's quite nice that I quit, says Matilda Plan.
