After yesterday's match against Slovenia, it is clear that Sweden will be allowed to play in the Nations League's C division next time.
Games in the B division today mean higher compensation from the organizer Uefa (European Football Association).
Should the compensation be the same for the next edition, Sweden could lose an amount of one million.
- If you assume that, it is 375,000 euros (corresponding to approximately SEK 4.1 million) less to participate in the C division, says Kjell Sahlström at the Swedish Football Association's finance department.
- Financially, we do not know the rules for the upcoming Nations League.
Group win generates big sum
The prize money to
win
the group, on the other hand, is large and would, on the contrary, benefit Blågult.
- To win the group today you get 1.25 million euros (equivalent to approximately SEK 13.7 million).
Then you get more money than playing in the B division and not winning it.
One might think that Sweden's ambition should be to win.
No money is awarded to the nations that finish second, third or fourth in the group.
How would you say that the finances of SvFF are doing?
- The economy is doing well in the Swedish Football Association today.
We do not know what will happen in the future.
Inflation is high and a war is going on in Ukraine.
