Helsingborg IF is fighting for its survival after the coronavirus pandemic. The club has approached the municipality for financial help. Chairman Krister Azelius says that it is a critical situation and that the club will not survive on its own. In late March, the club announced a revenue loss of 8.6 million kronor due to the coronavirus pandemic. At that time, the forecast was a loss of 17 million kronor for the year. Now the club says that it is in the best case scenario. When the Allsvenskan starts next week, it will be without an audience in the arenas. If the club is forced to play more than seven home games without an audience, the loss will be even greater. Helsingborg started the year with two million in equity and now expects it will take three years to get back to those numbers. On Wednesday, the club presented the situation to the municipality's politicians. The club was on its way to bankruptcy in 2003 and had debts of 69 million kronor at the time. On that occasion, the municipality and banks stepped in and saved the association. And now the situation is just as serious. But Helsingborg IF is not alone in having financial problems. Many other clubs in Sweden are also struggling to survive. So it is important that the municipality and other actors help to support the club. According to HD, the municipal council will take up the matter in August. Then it will become clear whether Helsingborg IF will receive the help they need to survive.
