Rise Against Sexism in Swedish Football: The Allsvenskan Debate

In Sweden, the Allsvenskan, the name of the women’s league championship, has just started and the debate has opened about sexism in football, which ends up having repercussions in the stands of the stadiums. Everything comes as a result of an episode that occurred during the cup match between Vittsjö (Second) and the IFK Gothenburg. The Finnish Linda Sällströma Vittsjö player, complained on Instagram: “I had to listen to misogynistic insults during the 90 minutes.”

The incident was reported in Sweden. “I think it was very brave on their part to defend it, because it is something we don’t want and the important thing is that you support your team and concentrate on it,” defends Barça player Fridolina Rolfö, who has been following the events from Barcelona. “It’s about supporting your team and I think certain things that come from men’s football may not be very pleasant, they are things that you don’t want coming into women’s football and you hope to keep them away.”

Her teammate, former Real Madrid player Kosovare Asllani (Milan), shares Rölfo’s opinion: “We have to define what are comments typical of the emotion that can be produced in a match with what is already over the line,” says. “The public that has historically attended our games has been families, young children who want to see their idols, so it is not convenient for things that are foreign to what we want to arrive. There must be an atmosphere of respect,” she adds.
