Anders P\u00e5lsson\u2019s extensive and deeply rooted commitment to Malm\u00f6 FF spans more than five decades. Anders joined the club as a youth team player as early as 1971 and later went on to become a youth coach at Malm\u00f6 FF. In 2010, Anders P\u00e5lsson was elected to the club\u2019s Board of Directors, and in December 2018 he took up the position of Chairman.<\/p>\n
During his time as Chairman, Anders P\u00e5lsson has led Malm\u00f6 FF through a period marked by sporting success and financial growth. Under P\u00e5lsson\u2019s chairmanship, Malm\u00f6 FF has carried out significant development projects across the youth academy, the women\u2019s and men\u2019s teams, as well as the club\u2019s organisation as a whole. Malm\u00f6 FF has also navigated both the coronavirus pandemic and other demanding challenges in a strong manner.<\/p>\n
During Anders P\u00e5lsson\u2019s tenure as Chairman, the club\u2019s men\u2019s team has won four Swedish Championship titles and two Swedish Cup titles, and has competed in one Champions League group stage and five Europa League group or league stages. The women\u2019s team has risen from the lowest level of the league system, Division 4, to a top-three position in OBOS Damallsvenskan. At the same time, Malm\u00f6 FF\u2019s equity has been strengthened by approximately SEK 200 million.<\/p>\n
Anders has previously informed the Nomination Committee that he wished to step down as Chairman no later than within two years, meaning either at the upcoming Annual General Meeting or after one additional two-year term as Chairman. The process to ensure an orderly succession has been ongoing throughout the autumn.<\/p>\n
The Nomination Committee has now announced that it intends to propose a new Chairman at the Annual General Meeting in March 2026. The Nomination Committee\u2019s proposal will be presented to the members no later than two weeks before the Annual General Meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look back with great joy on a long period at Malm\u00f6 FF, where together we have been able to celebrate many major successes. These successes are rooted in strong teamwork, both on and off the pitch, and having been part of that at the club closest to my heart is something that means an incredible amount to me and that I will carry with me forever. I am convinced that Malm\u00f6 FF has a bright future, and after the Annual General Meeting in March I look forward to following the club from the stands as it moves towards new successes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n
