Guthenberg. Häcken took a huge step towards his first SM gold.
Some players celebrated on the field with their children – contrary to the rules.
He probably gives Häcken 24,000 kroner in fines.
The 4-1 win over Jeff Sundsvall on Saturday means Haken is currently six points behind second-placed Djurgaarden.
Right after the final whistle, Häcken’s players and captains celebrated the win with 700-800 fans in Division G at the Bravida Arena.
Two of the players also brought their children onto the field to take part in the festivities.
Our security staff allows this when it is the players themselves who are picking up the kids. It is among the most beautiful we have. It’s not just great players but also regular people and parents in this case, Ellen Ost-Sandström, Häcken’s marketing director, tells Sportbladet.
It’s against the rules
But partying with children goes against the rules of both the Swedish Football Association and the Swedish Elite Football Association.
The rule exists because people are concerned about the safety of children. Sometimes it’s noisy after games. It would be very distressing if a child was injured, says Mats Enquist, Seif Seif’s general secretary.
Match delegate Gerhard Sager confirmed to Sportbladet that unauthorized persons on the pitch, children who partyed with their parents playing soccer, were included in the match report.
It’s one of the details that matching delegates have recently been reminded of to report when it happens.
This means that Sef’s disciplinary committee will likely fine Häcken again for having unauthorized and unaccredited people on the field.
Häcken has previously been punished for similar events in ascending order with fines of 6,000 and 12,000 kronor, and therefore risks an increased fine of 24,000 kroner for the Saturday celebration.
The 3-year-old daughter registered
Eric Freibergwho plays the last matches before ending his career, among other things, brought his son to the field and the biggest cheer erupted when Blair Turgot’s daughter Aisia, solo cut a long distance and finished kicking the ball into the empty net.
There is no danger in children being able to celebrate with their parents. “We have control over the stands sections,” says Elaine Ost-Sandstrom.
Did we not go so far as to say that such things should be reported? We had a great event with 4700 spectators acting without incident. Unfortunately, this is not the case in many Allsvenskan matches today. But having to put up with the bullshit for something like this leaves me very disappointed, says Häcken’s Marketing Director, and continues:
– We raised the topic within Sef. We don’t think that’s what the match delegates should put their energy into.
