”I made it look like Jon Dahl Tomasson said things at a press conference that he did not say. The association did not think it was funny and got in touch. This is serious, they are not laughing, without blinking they say 'give us 200,000 kronor'”, says Schulman in a clip on Instagram.
The Swedish Football Association means that it is a truth with modification. According to Alexandra William-Olsson, head of communication and brand, the association has not sued Calle Schulman but directed demands against a gaming company, which was the sender.
The clip constituted marketing together with representatives of the Swedish Football Association and the Swedish Football Association's brand. The use of an individual's name and image may not be used in any way in business marketing. In this case, our legal department assessed that the content constituted an infringement of the Swedish Football Association's rights, she says to Expressen.
Calle Schulman says that he has paid the amount to the football association but now wants the money back.
Jon Dahl Tomasson was previously the national team captain for the men's national team.
