The club has received the 300,000 kronor needed – including with the help of a private individual who wishes to remain anonymous, reports P4 Västerbotten.

It was on Thursday that Umeå IK announced that the situation was critical, and that the board might be forced to declare the association bankrupt on Monday if they didn't get enough money.

In addition to the anonymous private individual, the business community in Umeå has also contributed with money, and the public has been able to contribute through a Swish campaign.

This means that Umeå IK can now work to secure the rest of the year and a sustainable budget for 2025, writes chairperson Lena Sandlin in a text message to SVT.

Umeå finished third in the Elite League and is preparing to qualify for the Women's Premier League.
