Halmstads BK will no longer receive financial support from Carl Bennet. This is due to the use of pyrotechnics in the stands. Carl Bennet, 73, had previously threatened to withdraw support if the pyrotechnics did not stop.
What happened?
Carl Bennet has now made good on his promise and paused all financial support to Halmstads BK. This applies to both Carl Bennet's own company, Carl Bennet AB, and Getinge, in which he is a major shareholder.
Why is it important?
Halmstads BK is currently in a difficult situation, with an 11th place in Allsvenskan and 35 points after 30 matches. The club also has a negative goal difference of -26.
