On November 22, the concert will be held in Umeå city church. One of the artists is Samuel Fagerholm – the team’s coach.
— I have actually sung quite a lot in my life. It will be a nice thing to do, but above all we hope to bring in some money, says Fagerholm The Västerbotten courier.
At the end of September, Umeå IK FF announced that they needed to raise SEK 2 million to survive. Now they write in a press release that there is still SEK 800,000 to be collected before the end of the year.
“If the financial situation is not resolved, both in the short term and for the coming years, the business will be shut down,” writes Umeå.
“Our hope for the future is that Umeå municipality and the business world realize the importance of the activities Umeå IK conducts and are prepared to give the association both short-term and long-term financial support.”
