Eskilstuna United is in fifth place in the damallsvenskan but financially the club has problems.

On its website, the association writes that the economy is strained after the pandemic and that the club has reduced income.

In addition, Eskilstuna-Kuriren reports that the club has not been able to pay salaries to several of the team's players as planned.

Several of the payments have been delayed recently.

- It is always tough, but there is nothing I want to comment on, says the club's chairman Lina Bertilsson to the newspaper.

Negative equity

The association is now reviewing the organization due to the strained finances.

- We have begun work on adapting our organization to the economic reality we have right now, says Lina Bertilsson.

According to Eskilstuna-Kuriren, United raises SEK 14.5 million through sponsorship and company sales, second most of all women's sports associations in Sweden.

Still, the club has a negative equity.

- It's tough to be an elite association.

The pandemic has left its mark and it still does, we live with it and the recovery after the pandemic has not been as it was before, Bertilsson says to Eskilstuna-Kuriren.
