Örebro has been assigned Sweden's playoff matches in volleyball's European League. A potential obstacle arose when janitors are on vacation and Idrottshuset risked remaining closed.
Örebro Volley risked having to decline hosting the national team's home matches on both the men's and women's sides. The club directed criticism at the municipality for the situation. Örebro Municipality now states that it is working on a solution. Unit manager Anders Wickström expressed hope of finding a variant that works for everyone. Örebro Volley's sports manager Olle Anfelt described the news as a shock. The women's national team opened the European League with wins in Azerbaijan.
