Key details
Swedish football club Utsiktens BK, competing in the Superettan league, has been formally filed for bankruptcy by one of its employees, the Göteborgs tingsrätt confirmed. The bankrupt request centers on unpaid wages nearly totaling 80,000 kronor, with the employee last receiving a salary in May. The club has endured longstanding financial difficulties, and Göteborg city authorities have ceased all payments to the club due to these ongoing issues. In September, Utsiktens BK failed to settle a debt, further underscoring its insolvency. The employee's application to the court states, "The association cannot properly pay its debts and this inability is not merely temporary. The association is therefore insolvent and should be declared bankrupt." This marks a significant challenge for the club, which has struggled to meet salary and operating obligations over an extended period.
