Swedish Professional Football Leagues participated in this year’s edition of Almedalen in a panel discussion organized by the Municipality of Trelleborg, centered around the theme Community Engagement Through Football.
“Football holds a strong position and has a responsibility to use that influence wisely,” said Beatrice Clarke to the Municipality of Trelleborg.
Swedish Professional Football Leagues was represented in the panel discussion by Sustainability Manager Beatrice Clarke. Other participants included Mattias Kronvall, Club Director of Trelleborgs FF; Magdalena Nour, Sustainability Manager at Malmö FF; Christian Dahl, Director of Growth and Business Development for the Municipality of Trelleborg; and Mirja Ullvig, Deputy Director of Growth and Business Development. Much of the discussion focused on how football can contribute to a more sustainable society.
“Elite football is more than just matches and results. We play an important role in people’s lives, and we want to use that to make a difference,” said Mattias Kronvall.
In addition to participating in Trelleborg Municipality’s panel, Beatrice Clarke also joined several other discussions and networking events on the same theme during Almedalen Week.
Anders Wikström, Head of Integrity Issues at Swedish Elite Football, also took part in this year’s Almedalen.
