The proposal was voted on at the National Sports Meeting in May and entails a ceiling where a special sports federation can not receive more than ten percent of the total support from RF.
Today, football gets 14 percent - and if the proposal becomes a reality, football can lose SEK 25-30 million, according to SvFF.
Following the proposal, SvFF announced that it was considering leaving RF, or taking legal action against the decision.
The Football Association is now taking the dispute further and is calling for an arbitration procedure, RF writes in a press release.
- SvFF believes that the decision and the tangible consequences it has for children's and youth football are both unreasonable and unacceptable.
Therefore, it is important that this is now tried in court, says the Swedish Football Association's chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson.
The dispute is decided by the arbitral tribunal
A dispute between a special sports federation and RF is further referred to - and decided by - an arbitration board, according to RF's statutes.
- The Swedish Sports Confederation was against the proposal to reintroduce the grant ceiling.
But a majority of the members voted against the Swedish Sports Confederation's proposal and after the Swedish Football Association's announcement today, we must take this further in an arbitration procedure, says Björn Eriksson, chairman of the Swedish Sports Confederation.
