It smells of liniment, spilled energy drink and vaguely of public toilet in the locker rooms at Aspuddens IP – the plan where Viktor Gyökeres started his football career before signing with Brommapojkarna at the age of 16.
But the millions that are now pouring in from the top of the elite football pyramid will not go to any lavish new construction.
We don't own anything. We are a sports association, we are not allowed to make a profit, says Björn Thuresson.
"Higher quality"
He admits, however, that it will be a significant addition to the club's coffers. Roughly one percent of the transfer sum, a calculation based on Fifa's international system for how clubs are compensated when their former players move to a new club.
When Viktor went to Sporting, it was about 480,000 per year. We don't know the conditions this time either, but we're talking maybe eight million kronor, says Björn Thuresson.
The money, formally known as a solidarity payment, is not earmarked by Fifa to be used only for, for example, youth activities. It could go to salaries, expensive purchases, or something entirely different. In Aspudden-Tellus' case, it is likely to be used for cups and training camps, most likely a good distance from the artificial turf at Aspuddens IP.
We are 1,500 players and 300 leaders. We are a service institution for football, that's how the money will be used. More will be able to get higher quality football training.
Long process
The fact that Aspudden-Tellus is just a breadth association is also evident in relation to the Fifa system where the Gyökeres money will be paid out.
Last time we were involved in this, in the Sporting case, it was a long process to get approved. It is obvious that it is not made for an association of our size, says Björn Thuresson and continues:
There are questions you have to answer about what part of the club's economy comes from TV contracts and match revenues and the like, I myself had to fill in that our largest revenues are membership fees and state and municipal grants.
Inspiration
The millions, Thuresson means, will not change the association's direction or goals.
We are a breadth association, we want everyone to be able to play as much as possible for as long as possible. One plan we have is to establish a fund where those with worse economic conditions can apply for money to be able to continue playing football.
But isn't it great then, when a player fostered in the club becomes a big star and the money pours in?
Being able to point to Viktor as an inspiration and say that we have been a part of the career is incredibly much more valuable, answers Björn Thuresson.
Within both national and international club football, there are different systems for how clubs are compensated when one of their former players signs a professional contract with a new club.
Nationally, there is a new system for so-called training compensation since the turn of the year. It is a fixed sum that goes to the clubs a player previously represented, provided the player is not older than 23 years.
Previously, it has been possible to negotiate away the training compensation when a contract is signed with a player.
A similar system also exists within the international football federation, Fifa. There, time in a club in the upper teens is valued higher than play in the younger teens. Fifa's system is also based in part on what "status" the training club has compared to the new club.
For smaller clubs, the big money is in what is called solidarity payment. Every time a player changes clubs and there is a transfer sum, 5 percent of that sum shall go to the previous clubs.
A player who is sold for a hundred million kronor to a new club generates five million kronor for the previous clubs. The distribution between previous clubs is similar to that which applies to Fifa's training compensation, i.e. that play in a club in the older teens gives more compensation than in the younger teens.
The solidarity payment cannot be negotiated away, Fifa has established a bank to manage the system. The money is free for the receiving club to use as they wish.
