Östersunds FK trials dog section at home arena
Key Points
  • Östersunds FK tests a dog section at Jämtkraft Arena for two home matches.
  • The section accommodates up to 15 dog owners with their dogs.
  • The initiative was proposed by Åsa Trolle.

The dog section is located in a part of the southern stand and will be tested during two home matches, according to multiple reports. The initiative was proposed by Åsa Trolle to the club's board. According to SVT Nyheter, Trolle described that dog owners living outside town often do not want to leave their dogs home alone for long periods, so she suggested the dog section.

The section will not be available during high-risk matches with bangers and loud away supporters, Trolle said, adding that the club will assess match by match. The trial will be evaluated after the two matches, though specific details on pricing, rules, and which matches are involved have not been disclosed.

We'll run two matches to start with, then we'll evaluate.

Dog owners who live a bit outside town don't want to leave the dog home alone for so long, so I proposed a dog section to the board and now we're here.

On high-risk matches, where there might be bangers and louder away supporters, we won't have a dog section. Then we'll have to assess match by match, but for most matches I think we could have dogs here.
