To meet future challenges and opportunities, Swedish Professional Football Leagues (SEF) has decided to reduce its costs starting in 2026 and has therefore also filed a notice of redundancy, as SEF plans to downsize staff in its central organization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The association\u2019s finances remain strong, but challenges are expected in the coming years, which is why SEF has chosen to act responsibly to ensure sustainable finances moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several years of increases in central agreements in various areas, Swedish Professional Football Leagues has built up good finances and has been able to invest in development for its member clubs in Allsvenskan and Superettan. In recent years, however, with the pandemic in the background, continued economic uncertainty, and changing conditions for the Swedish economy as a whole, SEF sees the need to proactively take responsibility for both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSwedish Professional Football League\u2019s board has decided that the central organization will reduce its cost base by approximately 40 million SEK, and that the measures taken will be fully effective from January 1, 2026. The decision is based on our assessment that we are entering a period of lower revenues, and we therefore need to take responsibility and adapt our operations accordingly,\u201d says SEF Chairman Jens T Andersson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, the association announced at an internal meeting that it had filed a notice of redundancy with the Swedish Public Employment Service. Initial negotiations under the Co-Determination Act (MBL) have been carried out, with preliminary information describing the planned changes and the risk of redundancy affecting eight positions. The association\u2019s members have also been informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSEF has today initiated union negotiations, as we see a risk of redundancies as a consequence of the cost-cutting measures we face ahead of 2026. The planned organizational change is part of our work to adapt operations to the changing circumstances,\u201d says Lena Engstr\u00f6m, acting Secretary General at Swedish Professional Football Leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With respect for the parties involved and the ongoing union negotiations, SEF has no further comments at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
