For just over an hour ago, we did it. We have also received so much money that we have secured operations for the entire year, he says at a press conference on Monday evening.

Östersunds FK has been struggling with weak finances for several seasons. A tax debt of three million kronor – which is based on the pandemic – had to be paid by Monday at the latest.

According to the chairman of the club's incorporated part, Anders Cederberg, ÖFK managed to bring in nearly 3.9 million kronor on Monday. He has previously stated that bankruptcy or reconstruction would have awaited if the club had not managed to settle the debt in time.

With Monday's contribution, the operation is secured for both the season and the year. Anders Cederberg does not want to disclose who contributed the money.

There are private individuals and companies that not only have a big red and black heart but also a big wallet, who collectively have helped make this possible, he says.

Anders Cederberg has previously told P4 Jämtland that the club's weak economy is partly due to fewer spectators and less sponsorship sales than expected.
