– The wife has to take a big load at home, you’re away so much and travel. During the time you are at home, you try to spend time with them as much as you can.
If you look back in time, Ekberg put the national team boots on the shelf. The reason? To be able to be with the family more.
– When you run around and have pain and problems, it affects everything around you and the family felt it too. When the knots have been untied, things at home have become harmonious and then it has worked, he told SVT.
He went on to say:
– It doesn’t feel like I come home and am ruined all the time. Which it was at times. They did it because somewhere they had lived in it for a long time.

Yes. Together with his Nathalie, he has three children. After 13 years in Kiel, the Ekberg family moved home to Ystad, i Ystad’s Allhanda Ekberg mentioned the family as a big reason for moving home.
– It was sad to leave Kiel. After all, I have spent large parts of my adult life there and it is there that I have taken many of my big steps, not only in handball but also on a personal level with having a family and all that. So Kiel will forever be a special place for me. But everything has its time. I have said that to many who have asked recently. Somewhere you also want to try something new. The plan in the back of my mind has always been to be able to give back to Ystad at some point.
