We understand the frustration of Tele 2's customers, Viaplay's press manager Susanne Nylén tells the newspaper.

This summer, Viaplay moved much of its sports content to the paid channel Viaplay Sport, a newly launched channel that Tele 2 users had to purchase for 699 kronor a month. This has angered viewers.

Ahead of the crucial football match against Ukraine, the situation remains the same.

Sweden's World Cup playoffs are shown on Viaplay Sport, which is included in our sports packages and is an optional package for customers who want to access the content, says Mariana Prieto Abarca, press contact at Tele2, to Sportbladet.

According to the newspaper, Viaplay believes it is up to Tele 2 to negotiate a solution.

We are always open to dialogue. All other operators have included the new channel in their basic offering. It is up to Tele 2 how they want to handle it in the future for their customers, says Susanne Nylén.
