Stockholm, Sweden (My Sportsbook) - The Swedish Elite Licensing Committee demoted Orebro due to financial problems at the Allsvenskan club. Orebro finished in the middle of the 14-team table this past season, but are still likely to be demoted due to steep debts. They can, however, appeal the decision, which they are expected to do. A decision on an appeal would likely be made in December. Second division club Assyriska is expected to take Orebro's place in the Allsvenskan. Assyriska has made the ascent from the lowest Swedish division. They lost to Orgyte this past weekend in a playoff and thought its hopes of reaching the top Swedish league were dead. |
