Match background • Sweden have met Russia four times since the demise of the Soviet Union, with the record W2 D1 L1 (W1 D0 L0 in Sweden – W0 D1 L0 in Russia). • Two of those encounters came at final tournaments, firstly at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United states, where Tommy Svensson's Sweden beat Pavel Sadyrin's Russia 3-1. Oleg Salenko (4) scored an early penalty, but Tomas Brolin (39) replied by half-time and Martin Dahlin (60, 81) gave Sweden the points – condemning Russia to an early exit. • The teams in Detroit on 24 June 1994 were: Sweden: Ravelli, R Nilsson, P Andersson, Björklund (Erlingmark 89), Ljung, Brolin, Thern, Schwarz, Ingesson, Dahlin, K Andersson (H Larsson 84). Russia: Kharin, Gorlukovich, Popov (Karpin 40), Onopko, Khlestov, Nikoforov, Mostovoi, Kuznetsov, Salenko, Borodyuk (Galyamin 51), Radchenko. • The sides' most recent encounter was at UEFA EURO 2008. Roman Pavlyuchenko (24) and Andrey Arshavin (50) were on target in a 2-0 win that propelled Guus Hiddink's Russia into the knockout phase and sent Sweden, then coached by Lars Lagerbäck, home. • The teams in Innsbruck on 18 June 2008 were: Russia: Akinfeev, Ignashevich, Kolodin, Arshavin, Semak, Bilyaletdinov (Saenko 66), Zyryanov, Zhirkov, Pavlyuchenko (Bystrov 90), Semshov, Anyukov. Sweden: Isaksson, M Nilsson (Allbäck 79), Mellberg, Hansson, Stoor, Svensson, Ljungberg, Ibrahimović, Elmander, H Larsson, D Andersson (Källström 56). • Sweden encountered the Soviet Union seven times with the record W3 D2 L2 (W1 D2 L1 at home – W2 D0 L1 away). Those games included a 2-0 Sweden win at the 1958 World Cup, in Stockholm, and a 1964 UEFA European Championship quarter-final. • Valentin Ivanov (62) put Konstantin Beskov's USSR ahead in the first leg in Solna on 13 May 1964, but Kurt Hamrin (88) salvaged a draw for Lennart Nyman's Sweden. It ended 3-1 in Moscow on 27 May 1964, Viktor Pondelnik (32, 56) scoring twice, and Valeri Voronin adding a third (83) after Kurt Hamrin (78) had pulled one back. The USSR went on to lose 2-1 to Spain in the final. • Before the formation of the Soviet Union, Russia beat Sweden 4-1 in Moscow on 4 May 1913, but drew 2-2 in Stockholm on 5 July 1914. • Sweden and Russia have met in five UEFA age-group competitions with the Swedes' record W1 D1 L3. Most recently the sides drew in the semi-finals of the 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Slovakia, Russia eventually winning 10-9 on penalties en route to winning the competition. • The nations' clubs have met in 16 UEFA competition games, with the Swedish sides' record in those games reading W4 D3 L9. 3 Sweden - Russia Thursday 9 October 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Friends Arena, Solna Squad list Sweden Current season Overall Qual.

    Examensarbete, 15 hp ”Mina damer och herrar! Fotbollen av idag är inte någon sorglös lek utan big business” En studie av svenska ledande fotbollstidningars syn på det svenska fotbollslandslaget och professionaliseringen, 1958-2015 Författare: Andreas Lindh & Joel Mattsson Handledare: Hans Hägerdal Examinator: Ulla Rosén Termin: HT2016 Ämne: Historia Nivå: Grundnivå Kurskod: 2HIÄ2E Abstrakt Title: "Ladies and gentlemen! Football of today is not a carefree game but big business" - A study of Swedish leading football journals view of the Swedish national football team and the professionalization 1958-2015 In this study we’ve followed the Swedish national team in football from 1958, nine years before the removal of the Swedish amateurisms, throughout the professionalism until 2015. The purpose has been too look at the leading football and sports journals to compare the view of the Swedish national teams in football during the world cup years of 1958, 1974, 1994 and the qualification too the UEFA Euro 2016 which was played in 2015. We have also looked into the view of the professionalization of Swedish football which has turned into a more international professionalization during the last twenty years. The football and sports journals we’ve study is Idrottsbladet (1958 & 1974), Svensk fotbolltidning (1974 & 1994), Goal (1994 & 2015) and Offside (2015). We have an analysis with focus on the professionalisms progress. The analysis is based on three views, philosophy, organization and economics. The philosophy has changed from being a game too become a spectacle, the organization has gone from volunteering too wage work and professionalism too interacting agents. In the economics football has gone from having its focus on the results of the sport to the result of the profit, to being about money by spectacle.

Vår manager och gode vän Klas Ingesson förde en ojämn kamp mot cancern och han lämnade oss i stor sorg och saknad den 29 oktober. Det var för oss i IF Elfsborg en väldigt stor förmån att få jobba med Klas under ett antal år. Hans fighting spirit, energi och starka vilja var egenskaper som aldrig ens sjukdomen rådde på. Vi kommer att bära med oss Klas insatser och personlighet i IF Elfsborg under många år framöver. Sportsligt blev året ett bra år med cupsegern som kronan på verket. Vi lyckades också förbättra vårt resultat i allsvenskan där vi slutade på en fjärde plats, vilket innebar ännu en medalj och samtidigt en hygglig chans till Europaspel 2015. Att klara av att nå en topplace- ring och en cupseger samtidigt som vi genomförde en stor omställ- ning av våra kostnader visste vi skulle bli en utmaning när vi gick in i 2014. Att vi lyckades med det känner jag stor stolthet och ödmjukhet inför. Att klara av att bromsa kostnader och samtidigt flytta fram positionerna när det gäller prestation är ett bevis på den starka kul- tur som finns i IF Elfsborg och är ett mycket gott betyg till samtliga medarbetare, spelare och ideellt arbetande. Att ha en sund ekonomi är fundamentalt viktigt i en elitidrottsför- ening och det är det som gör det möjligt för oss att fortsätta satsa.
