Joel Asoro was recruited from parent club IFK Haninge to Brommapojkarna in 2011.
Then the club arranged a new apartment for the 11-year-old and his mother.
– You probably shouldn’t talk about it that much, says player on the podcast Lundh.
He also chose 11 years Joel Asoro to skip IFK Haninge To Brommapojkarna to further develop football. In the podcast Lundh, he reveals what BP tempted to change clubs.
– You probably shouldn’t talk about it much, but they gave me a lot of things. The striker says in the podcast, I know Brommapojkarna is a bigger club to be able to take me further.
Asoro continues:
Bromma boys solved everything in ten minutes. I changed school, they arranged an apartment for me and my mother, so I moved to Rome.
The Swedish Football Association has new representation regulations for each year, which is a kind of rulebook for how players are recruited in Sweden and registered within the associations.
When Asoro was signed in 2011 with Brommapojkarna, there was no rule that the association had broken down, although Asoro was only 11 years old when the club negotiated with his mother.
However, nothing can be done today, according to the Swedish Football Association’s representation regulations for 2022.
“I don’t know if it’s a big problem”
“Players’ contracts may not be concluded with players who have not reached the age of 15. The Federation may also not negotiate such an agreement with a player, his guardian or any other person who has the right to represent the player, until the player is 14 years and 6 months old”, According to this year’s SVFF casting rules.
Although Asoro was very young when he jumped into Brommapojkarna, he played it all.
But at the same time it highlights that this is something that happened to players more than at a young age.
– I don’t know if it’s a big problem. But maybe today, when football is all about money, they are. In 2010 I don’t think it was a big deal. I don’t think I was the only one recruited in this way, says Asoro.
