FC Rosengård Women's Team Transitions to Limited Company with British Investment

FC Rosengård has officially transformed its women's team into a limited company following a decisive vote at an extraordinary general meeting. This strategic move enables long-term investment in the women's team, with British company Crux Football acquiring a 48% stake in the newly formed entity. Crux Football is supported by notable sports figures including Rebecca Smith, former New Zealand national player and recent owner of French club Montpellier, as well as Ted Knutson, founder of the sports analytics company Statsbomb.

Håkan Wifvesson, chairman of FC Rosengård, highlighted that the investment aims to elevate women's football in Scandinavia and secure the club's financial independence to compete successfully on both Scandinavian and European stages. Although exact financial terms were not disclosed, the emphasis is on building a strong foundation beyond just the monetary value.

The decision has been met with mixed reactions. Supporters, particularly the group Forza Rosengård, expressed concern that this change might threaten football's democratic traditions, fearing it could undermine the club's 51% member ownership rule, and criticized the process for insufficient member involvement.

Meanwhile, a similar proposal regarding investment in the men's team by Parken Sport & Entertainment, owners of FC Copenhagen, is scheduled for a vote in an upcoming extraordinary meeting. This reflects broader ambitions within the club to engage international investors and modernize its structure across both men's and women's teams.
