Damallsvenska FC Rosengård is being incorporated. A majority of the club's members voted in favor of the decision. We have now taken a step that we are incredibly proud of, says club chairman Håkan Wifvesson to Sydsvenskan.

The extraordinary annual meeting gave the thumbs up to the proposal that the women's team be taken over by the newly formed British company Crux Football Sweden Ltd.

This means that the association is still FC Rosengård. But under the association, a limited liability company will be formed together with a very serious investor group. It is about us wanting to take women's football to a new level. We also want to ensure that women's football can stand on its own two feet, says Håkan Wifvesson.

He does not want to say how much money is being pumped in.

– We are not talking about pure kronor and öre here, but it is an investment that will form the basis for being able to match and be the best in Scandinavia and be out there competing in Europe.

In order for the incorporation to be carried out, approval from the Swedish Football Association is required.

The Forza Rosengård supporters' association distances itself from the decision and writes in a press release:

"We at Forza Rosengård believe that the decision is a threat to the democratic association life of football. Corporateization risks loosening the 51 percent rule, especially in a club like FC Rosengård where there is no tradition of the public and committed members participating in decision-making. A partial explanation for the undeveloped democracy is the special context of women's football in the world in general and Malmö in particular."
