Domestic. Fredrik Reinfeldt, current chairman of the Swedish Football Association, announces that he wants to be re-elected – despite the massive criticism he faced during his two years in office.
“The union meeting that elected me in 2023 gave me a clear mandate for change that I managed and intend to continue with if I receive renewed confidence,” writes Reinfeldt on the union’s website.
During his time as chairman, the debate has been intense, not least around his support for the VAR video assessment system in Swedish football and reports of a poor working environment within the association. Hammarby has also clearly expressed that they prefer another candidate.
So far there is no opposing candidate, but nominations can take place until January 15. Previously, former AIK chairman Robert Falck has mentioned that he might consider running for office, but he has not yet been nominated.
The selection committee keeps the door open to propose another candidate.
– If there is a candidate who we believe can make Swedish football better (…), it is clear that it can be the proposal submitted by the selection committee, says Håkan Wifvesson, chairman of the selection committee, to TT.
The annual meeting where the election takes place is held on March 22, 2024.
