Swedish Football today sees a development in society where people end up on the sidelines, where individuals do not have the same opportunities as others and thus come further and further from the labor market and education. Many individuals – young and old – who are far from employment also have little chance of changing their situation. Swedish football wants to be a fellow player and, together with other stakeholders, increase opportunities for employment in the form of work, education or for individuals to approach the labor market.

Now the Swedish Football Association is looking for a project economist/administrator for our EU project Reboot - football for jobs, an employment project to get more individuals who are far from work or education back into employment. The project is ongoing and is conducted in Gothenburg and Umeå in collaboration with our football districts, associations, businesses and the respective municipality.
