Centica Sverige AB have signed a 2-year agreement with Örebro SportKlubbs Women’s football team as an official Partner.

The team advanced last autumn up to “Elitettan” second division in Swedish football.

Swedish Woman football is leading in the world. But looking at the situation for the girls/women to practice the sport it is very cumbersome. Why is that? Good question, if you compare the situation with men in same level of series, the girl/women have less than 10% of the salary that is paid out to a man. This means that a girl playing in the Second league in Sweden, need to at the same time take extra work for the living. Average salary for a man is 35 000 SEK. For a girl/woman is average salary 2 500-3 500 SEK, but if you look at the situation regarding training games and so on it is mostly the same. And to be honest in the game, there are very few girls laying down on the ground shouting and rolling around as they were going to die. I have been following senior woman football the last 5 years and never seen something like this. I have seen some tendencies of the same in the south of Europe, but really hope this will not happen in Sweden.

Please go and watch a match with girls and see how honest this game is done. Enjoy good football! At last. If you, after looking at a game, take the chance and support a team close to you. If you have a company, contact the club and see what opportunity you have. If you are a supporter, please try to support as much you can. It can be to be a member; join different initiatives the club is arranging.

THEY NEED SUPPORT FOR SURVIVAL and to give the girls/women a decent situation.

The ÖSK Women’s Football sponsor initiative is driven and managed by Bo Olofsson
