Another loss in the championship makes the club lose money.
The Champions League continues to be a tough tournament for FC Rosengård in the fall and winter of 2022.
– We’re in the red, sports director Therese Shugran tells SR.
With four Champions League losses behind them, FC Rosengaard stood well against Bayern Munich in the first half at home in Malmö IP.
Despite this, the away team took the lead from a corner kick five minutes before the end of the first half.
– Of course it was difficult because we started the game really well and were in control most of the time, Rosengård captain Emma Berglund tells DAZN.
Lost all matches
In the second half, Bayern Munich extended its lead three times.
Partly when Sidney Lohmann took advantage of a rebound in the penalty area and partly when Mia Pearson kicked the ball into midfield.
Rosengård’s side finally went down 0-4 and the team has now lost five of its six matches in the Champions League group stage. They will also face world class Barcelona away from home in the last game.
Unlike when Malmö FF played in the Champions League, the fellow city must not console himself with a knock on the coffers after losses. On the contrary, Rosengård is losing money in the tournament, according to sports director Therese Sjögran.
– We are Swedish champions and play in the Champions League and we are in the red because of that, Sjogan tells SAR.
“not fair”
Sjögran says the contribution Rosengård receives from UEFA to play in the Champions League is not enough.
– It should cover everything, such as travel, and that we should have security companies when their TV buses arrive. We have received more money, but there are greater demands on us. This is exactly the same requirement on the part of men, although for much less money.
Shogran believes that development is proceeding too slowly.
It is not fair how the money is distributed. We won’t give up, we have to pay for these things,” she told SR.
