Kalmar FF at risk of bankruptcy - may lose their arena

Kalmar FF is at risk of bankruptcy due to high costs for their arena. The club has budgeted for a deficit of 9.2 million SEK in 2017.

What has happened?

Kalmar FF moved to their current arena, Guldfågeln arena, in 2011. The arena cost 250 million SEK to build and has been a significant financial burden for the club.

Why is it a problem?

Kalmar FF has not been able to generate enough revenue to cover the costs of the arena. The club has therefore been forced to take out loans to finance its operations.

What happens now?

Kalmar FF and Kalmar municipality have had secret discussions about the municipality taking over ownership of the arena. This could help Kalmar FF avoid bankruptcy.
