Form guide Ludogorets • Ludogorets made it ten successive Bulgarian league titles in 2020/21 – the longest ongoing run of any current European club, one more than Germany's Bayern München and two more than Austria's Salzburg – and are now aiming to reach the UEFA Champions League group stage for the third time – and the first since 2016/17. • Levski Sofia (2006/07) are the only other Bulgarian side to have reached the group stage. • This is Ludogorets' tenth UEFA Champions League campaign, and their fourth play-off. They beat Steaua București 6-5 on penalties in 2014/15 (1-1 aggregate) and Viktoria Plzeň in 2016/17 (4-2 agg) after losing their first tie, against Basel in 2013/14 (2-6 agg). • Ludogorets finished fourth in their group on their debut in the UEFA Champions League proper in 2014/15, picking up four points in a section that also involved Real Madrid, Liverpool and Basel, before coming third behind Paris Saint- Germain and Arsenal in 2016/17, where they finished ahead of Basel on three points. • The Eagles bowed out after two matches in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League, winning 3-1 at Montenegro's Budućnost Podgorica in their one-off first qualifying round tie before a 1-0 home defeat by Midtjylland in the next stage. • Ludogorets went on to beat Dinamo Brest 2-0 away in the UEFA Europa League play-offs but subsequently lost all six games in the group stage, ending bottom of a section that also involved Tottenham, LASK and Antwerp. • Before losing in Sweden the Razgrad side were unbeaten in their first six UEFA Champions League qualifiers this season (W3 D3), winning 1-0 home and away against Shakhtyor Soligorsk of Belarus in the first qualifying round before a 3-1 aggregate success against Slovenian side Mura (0-0 a, 3-1 h). A pulsating third qualifying round tie against Olympiacos (1-1 a, 2-2 h) was eventually settled by penalties, Ludogorets prevailing 4-1 in the shoot-out after converting all of their kicks. • Ludogorets had lost five successive home European matches before 2021/22 and were without a win in seven (D1 L6). • The Bulgarian club won the first three of the five UEFA competition ties in which they suffered a first-leg away defeat, although they have lost the last two, most recently against Ferencváros in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round (1-2 a, 2-3 h). They were also beaten when they suffered their sole previous 2-0 defeat in the away first leg, going out on away goals to Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round (3-1 h). • Ludogorets' record in two UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W2 L0: 6-5 v Steaua Bucureşti, 2014/15 UEFA Champions League play-off 4-1 v Olympiacos, 2021/22 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round Malmö • Malmö claimed their 21st Swedish title in 2020, their fifth triumph in the last eight Allsvenskan campaigns. They were beaten 2-1 by IFK Göteborg in the Swedish Cup final on 30 July 2020, denying them a first domestic double – and first cup win – since 1989. • Malmö's two previous UEFA Champions League group stage campaigns came in 2014/15 and 2015/16 – the latter the last time a Swedish club appeared at that stage. • Malmö finished fourth in their section on both previous group appearances, winning one game and losing the other five in each instance. Both victories came at home, against Olympiacos in 2014 (2-0) and Shakhtar Donetsk 12 months later (1-0). Those were two of only three group games in which the Swedish side scored. • Malmö have lost in UEFA Champions League qualifying twice since 2015/16, against Vardar of North Macedonia in the 2017/18 second qualifying round (4-2 aggregate) and Hungary's MOL Vidi in the third qualifying round in 2018/19 3 PFC Ludogorets 1945 - Malmö FF Tuesday 24 August 2021 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Ludogorets Arena, Razgrad (1-1 agg, lost on away goals). • The Swedish side lost to Dinamo Zagreb in their first UEFA Champions League play-off in 2011/12 (3-4 aggregate) but have subsequently beaten Salzburg in 2014/15 (4-2 agg) and Celtic in 2015/16 (4-3 agg). • Malmö's 2020/21 European campaign lasted four matches. They eased through the first three UEFA Europa League qualifying games without conceding a goal, beating Cracovia (2-0) and Lokmotiva Zagreb (5-0) at home in the first and third qualifying rounds respectively either side of a 2-0 win at Honvéd in the second qualifying round, but then went down 3-1 at home to Granada in the play-offs. • Jon Dahl Tomasson's side edged through against Riga (1-0 h, 1-1 a) and HJK Helsinki (2-1 h, 2-2 a) in this season's UEFA Champions League first and second qualifying rounds respectively before winning 2-1 home and away against Scottish champions Rangers in the third qualifying round. Croatian forward Antonio Čolak scored five of Malmö's ten goals, including both at Ibrox against Rangers. • Malmö are unbeaten in their last four European away games (W2 D2), since a 2-1 loss at Wolfsburg in the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg; that is their only defeat in seven matches away from home in Europe (W3 D3). • Malmö have faced Bulgarian opposition only once before this tie, in the 1964/65 European Cup preliminary round when they went down to an 8-5 aggregate defeat against Lokomotiv Sofia (3-8 a, 2-0 h). Bo Larsson scored four of Malmö's five goals in what was their first UEFA competition tie. • Malmö have won 19 of the 26 UEFA competition ties in which they won the home first leg, including all three this season – making it ten victories in a row since losing on away goals to Nottingham Forest in the first round of the 1995/96 UEFA Cup (2-1 h, 0-1 a). When the home first leg has finished 2-0 their aggregate record is W4 L1, the most recent example against Hibernian in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League second qualifying round (7-0 a). • Malmö's record in two UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W1 L1: 2-1 v Magdeburg, 1975/76 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round 4-5 v Dynamo Dresden, 1990/91 European Champion Clubs' Cup second round Links and trivia • Ludogorets coach Valdas Dambrauskas was in charge of the Žalgiris Vilnius side beaten by Malmö in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round (0-0 a, 0-1 h). • Malmö coach Tomasson scored three goals against Bulgaria as a Danish international, all past Zdravko Zdravkov – now goalkeeping coach at Ludogorets.

He stayed in the post for seven seasons, winning four lower-league titles, before moving to Young Boys. • His stay in Berne proved nowhere near as lengthy or successful, however, Challandes departing in 1995 with the club finishing bottom of the first phase of the 12-team Swiss top flight after collecting just 17 points. A subsequent spell at Servette proved short-lived, and there followed a lengthy spell out of the limelight , during which he coached Switzerland’s Under-17 and Under-18 teams. • The Le Locle native took over the Switzerland Under-21 side in 2001. The highlight of his six years in charge came in 2002, when a team including Alexander Frei, Ludovic Magnin and Daniel Gygax reached the UEFA European Under-21 Championship semi-finals on home soil.

  • CSR in Swedish Football
    CSR in Swedish football A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan By: Lina Nilsson 2018-10-09 Supervisors: Marcus Box, Lars Vigerland and Erik Borg Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master Thesis 30 Credits Business Administration | Spring term 2018 ABSTRACT The question of companies’ social responsibility taking, called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has been widely debated in research since the 1900s. However, the research connecting CSR to sport was not started until the beginning of the 2000s, meaning that there are still many gaps in sport research that has to be filled. One such gap is research on CSR in a Swedish football context. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was firstly to examine how and why Swedish football clubs – organised as non-profit associations or sports corporations – work with CSR, and secondly whether or not there was a difference in the CSR work of the two organisational forms. A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan was carried out, examining the CSR work – meaning the CSR concept and activities, the motives for engaging in CSR and the role of the stakeholders – in detail. In addition, the CSR actions of all clubs of Allsvenskan were briefly investigated. The findings of the study showed that the four clubs of the multiple case study had focused their CSR concepts in different directions and performed different activities. As a consequence, they had developed different competences and competitive advantages. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the motives for engaging in CSR were a social agenda, pressure from stakeholders and financial motives.

Depken, II ______________________________ Dr. Richard Buttimer ______________________________ Prof. Matthew R. Metzgar © 2017 André Roskors ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANDRÉ ROSKORS. The impact of managerial change on the performance of soccer teams – an event study of the two top tier Swedish divisions. (Under the direction of DR. CRAIG A. DEPKEN, II) This research examines the impact of managerial changes on Swedish soccer teams from the first and second Swedish soccer league. The research is conducted similar to an event study and regression analysis is employed to investigate the impact of the focus event, managerial changes. The variable of interest for the regression analysis is the odds to win a match. The study uses data for both Swedish leagues for the period from 2010 to 2016. The research finds a positive impact of managerial changes on the team performance in the short-term. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Craig A. Depken II for his continued investment and advice during the course of this research. I would also like to acknowledge the owner of bookiebacker.com, Vincent van de Ven, who gave me generous access to the data and explanations of variables, necessary for the research.

    Hamburger SV v Viking FK PRESS KIT AOL Arena, Hamburg Thursday, 3 November 2005 - 18:30 local time Group A - Matchday 2 Something has to give at the AOL Arena as the two Group A winners from Matchday 1 meet looking to maintain perfect starts. Hamburger SV won their opening game 1-0 at PFC CSKA Sofia thanks to a Rafael van der Vaart goal, while Viking FK secured a fine home win against the 2004 UEFA Champions League finalists AS Monaco FC, Nkosinathi Nhleko scoring the only goal in another 1-0 success. •Despite beginning their European adventure in the 1960/61 season, Hamburg now face Norwegian opposition for the first time.

The German side completed a hat-trick of losing major finals when they lost to IFK Göteborg in the 1981/82 UEFA Cup final, 4-0 on aggregate. •Viking have met German clubs in five previous ties in UEFA competition, and have come out on top only once, against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, now VfB Leipzig but then of the East German league, with a win on away goals in the 1982/83 UEFA Cup first round.
