It will also “be responsible for supporting the league with general coordination.”

The appointment follows the acquisition by NENT in November last year of broadcast rights to the Damallsvenskan between 2022 and 2026.

Spring Media has worked with the Damallsvenskan – known as the OBOS Damallsvenskan commercially – and its organizer the Swedish Elite Football Dam (EFD) since 2014, providing media rights management and production services. The aim of the partnership, it says, is to “grow the exposure of Swedish women’s football and drive value back to the sport”.

Joakim Ekstrand, head of on-site production at NENT Sport Nordic, added: “We are extremely pleased to finally have kickstarted our broadcasts of OBOS Damallsvenskan. We look forward to an intriguing season where viewers can enjoy all matches on Viaplay and up to two matches per week on TV6.

“In collaboration with Spring Media, who will be spearheading production of our Viaplay matches, we have raised the bar for our productions and hope the viewer will enjoy an even better experience than before.”
