Despite the spread of the infection, the match between Helsingborgs IF and Djurgården was recently played at the Allsvenskan. The Skåne team wanted to postpone the match after several confirmed crown drops and therefore sent a request to the competition committee of the Swedish Football Association with the support of, among others, Smittskydd Skåne and the SvFF medical committee . However, the competition committee decided that the match would be played.

Therefore, SvFF was opened for a rule change until yesterday Wednesday. Now the association has also submitted a temporary provision regarding walking in the association series.

On its website, the association writes the following:

“If an association goes out of the wo with reference to an established infection, and there is no reason to question it, this should in the current extraordinary circumstances – and in view of the interest of being able to run the series during the current season – regularly mean that There are reasons as special as It is established in Chapter 2, Section 22, third paragraph TB, which means that the association is not excluded from the series, but the consequences are instead that the association that left wo loses the match by 0 -3.

However, TK (the competition committee) must always make a general assessment of all relevant circumstances in the individual case and, in doing so, pay particular attention to the risk of abuse of opportunity.

The change in the competition rules establishes that it is the responsibility of each association involved to ensure that everyone within the association minimizes the risk of spreading infections by following the recommendations of the Public Health Agency and (in elite football) established protocols. . However, if the infection has arisen within the association, and there are no conditions to pass to the party, the association must take into account all relevant aspects, e.g. Eg with the support of the responsibility of their employer and the recommendations of medical experts, they decide where to go for the match. “
