Sport falls under the Ministry of Social Affairs, where Jakob Forssmed, KD, is responsible.
As manager, he will be responsible for public health, sports and civil society issues.
- Jakob is not only our deputy party leader but an enthusiastic runner and cyclist, said Ebba Busch when the ministers were introduced.
In the government statement, Kristersson promised investments in the sports movement, but did not go into how these would look.
- The importance of the Swedish sports movement for public health and cohesion cannot be overestimated, the government intends to have several investments during the term of office, said Ulf Kristersson.
In the Tidö Agreement, the incoming government writes that it wants to strengthen the Allsvenskan's position in football and the SHL's position in hockey.
