"We are looking for new possibilities to enhance our offering for our customers in the Middle East and we know that live-sports is appreciated by them", says Tommy Carlstedt, CEO Mavshack. "Damallsvenskan is one of the best leagues and football is one of the most popular sports in the Middle East so it will be really exciting to see how Damallsvenskan will be received. To be able to work for better accessibility for women sports, in a region where women sports isn't as obvious as in Sweden, feels very joyful."
"We see that the collaboration between Mavshack and Damallsvenskan opens up consumption of women's football in countries where we don't have that possibility today", says Linda Wijkström secretary general Elitfotboll Dam. "We see it as positive to break new grounds and to be able to show premier Swedish football to the rest of the world."
