Former Allsvenskan Club Dalkurd Faces Bankruptcy With 2.5 Million Kronor in Debt

Dalkurd played in Sweden’s top men’s league as recently as 2018. Now the club is going bankrupt. It has debts of 2.5 million kronor (about $240,000). “It’s nothing we can afford to pay,” chairman Josef Erdem told Borlänge Tidning.

Dalkurd was founded in Borlänge in 2004, but moved its operations to Uppsala ahead of the 2018 Allsvenskan (Sweden's top football league) season.

The men's team last played in Division 2 two years ago. After that season, the club was forcibly relegated to Division 4.

The 2018 Allsvenskan season was the club's high point, but it was not a major success with the public. Dalkurd had the lowest average attendance in the league's history, with just 1,058 spectators per match.

Only 202 people attended the match against Häcken, the second-lowest attendance ever in the Allsvenskan. Dalkurd spent one year in the league, finished second-last and were relegated.
