Now take women's football – but not in Sweden

"Now take women's football – but not in Sweden"

"the Debaters: Should damallsvenskan to retain its status, we must act now."

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. Superstars of the highest caliber which plays in the allsvenskan. On the men's side, it is a unrealistic dream scenario. On the women's side, it has been commonplace. "

"But a new report shows that the Swedish women's football position of strength is threatened. Today is clubs in Europe prepared to pay the equivalent of a small inexperienced club throughout the spelarbudget for a single player. The Swedish government, the business community and the Swedish Football association need to act quickly on this change."

"women's football is the biggest sport for ladies, with 1.8 million players in Europe (2014), and is gaining ground globally. FC Rosengård review of the report by the Uefa ten highest ranked clubs in european women's football, and makes an assessment of their economic development during the last few years. "

"In just five years, the top teams total doubled their budgets, while the team with the biggest budget has doubled this, the highest spelarlönen has increased by even more (140%) and the average salary in the richest the club has increased by over 230 per cent. "

"During the same period, the budget and the salaries in the two Swedish teams who have been in the top (FC Rosengård on the place five and Linköping on-the-spot twelve) stood still. The Swedish damlagens relative economic strength has thus more than halved compared with the other clubs in the rankings."

"until now, the Swedish women's team could be in the european top tier, in spite of limited finances, thanks to the top team as FC Rosengård and Linköping in combination with a strong breddfotboll also for girls in the whole country. "

"When the top teams in Europe are now spending more money on his women's football gets the Swedish teams difficult to retain talent. "

"That FC Rosengård at the same time will have three players in the team who all been named the world's best, as was the case last year, when Marta, Martens and McLeod played in the FCR, is equally unlikely that a Swedish liberals would have Zlatan, Messi and Buffon in the team. "

"It has, until now, been ”cheap” for the Swedish women's football to keep the highest european class. "

"Sporting Intelligence report 2017 places the Damallsvenskan as the third best league in the Uefa rankings. But that Damallsvenskan retains its placement is highly uncertain. The best players in Sweden can earn much more money abroad. "

"Compared with Swedish clubs, clubs in, for example, Germany, France and the Uk pay their players more than three times as much in monthly salary."

"To the Swedish Game of the year extended the sponsorship with the Football Lady, up to 2023 and increased the funding by approximately 60 percent is good but not enough. That the company Sigma in the year launched the ”Segerpotten”, a collection to the winner of the damallsvenskan, as in previous years taken home zero kronor in prize money, is also good. "

"Thanks to Segerpotten got the winning team Piteå in the year a bonus of 250 000 sek. The city of Malmö, which last year became Sweden's first Fair Pay-certified municipality, betting on the gender of sport, and has introduced a sponsorship policy from a gender perspective for the city of Malmö's wholly-owned companies. "

"the Challenge is now that the Swedish team will not be able to afford the tip, to the very highest world-class in the same way as before. Today, there are 5-10 clubs in EUROPE who are prepared to pay the equivalent of a small inexperienced club throughout the spelarbudget, for a single player. Everything several european top teams can also buy a stronger width in the squad, which can be a decisive factor, when your own league will be combined with the international game."

"Sweden has a well-developed youth. When transfer fees are increasing, it means an opportunity. There is, however, a well-functioning system for utbildningsersättningar on levels that we can use and transform this in the competitiveness of the clubs and therefore the long-term for the national team."

"The european clubs' bets is an expression of the increased interest from the audience (via tv) and sponsors to invest in women's football. It also increases the value of the Swedish efforts. We see such movement in Sweden, but the pace needs to be increased. "

"Shall Damallsvenskan maintain their status and clubs be developed should be:"

"In Sweden there are over 117 000 registered flick - and damfotbollsspelare. It allows us, if we create the right conditions, can educate the future supertalanger. "

"If we want to, we can, together, keep the Swedish women's football in Europatoppen!"
