On October 27, Malmö FF will face Belgian Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League.
On the same day, and at the same time, and only 1.6 kilometers away, Rosengård will be visited by Barcelona in the Champions League.
And the Malmö public will not be able to split.
MFF and damallsvenska series leader Rosengård have now received that message.
- We have tried in every way.
We had meetings with Uefa and the police and MFF all day yesterday.
At first we tried to change the day to the 26th, but we didn't get it because then it collides with Real Madrid and Barcelona as well as Lyon and PSG playing at the same time and they can't because they are from the same countries.
Then we proposed the 28th, but were refused based on the fact that Barcelona plays in the league on the 30th and has the right to two rest days, says Rosengård's club manager Jenny Damgaard to SVT Sport.
"Never experienced anything like this"
Another proposal from Rosengård and MFF that was denied was to change the kick-off time, but it did not work because Djurgården will play at 21:00 in the Europa Conference League.
- We will make the best of this and we hope that Malmö, the entire region, will close.
We released the tickets at 10.00.
10.04 we had sold 350 tickets.
We have never experienced anything like it, says Damgaard.
On the same evening, Malmö Redhawks also play their home match against Färjestad in the SHL.
