It was last week that financially pressured Mallbacken’s IF Sunne told about the football shirt from Inter Miami FC that would be auctioned off and help the club for the coming season. The jersey has been signed by the entire Miami squad – including superstar Lionel Messi.
The Messi shirt was sold for SEK 31,000
When the auction ended on Tuesday morning, the winning bid of SEK 31,000 landed after a hot bidding fight in the morning.
– A fantastic contribution to the goal of bringing in one million kroner, says player Ebba Rehnberg, who at the same time announced that she will continue to play in the club next season after missing all of 2023 due to knee surgery.
In the video, Ebba Rehnberg talks about the exciting finale of the auction and what the money collected means for the club.
Mallbacken’s chairman for the coming season
Mallbacken’s chairman Evelina Nilsson is grateful for the support the association has received since the emergency call in September.
“We at Mallbackens IF are incredibly grateful and moved for the support we have received during the autumn from both loyal and new supporters. We are still working hard to reach a zero result before 2024 – but still look brightly at next season as we now know that football Sweden wants to keep the cousin from the country and now we will take the fight for at least one more year, she says in a comment to SVT News Värmland.
