Halmstads BK is losing a key sponsor as Carl Bennet has decided to withdraw his support. In April last year, Carl Bennet, the billionaire and Halmstads BK sponsor, expressed his disappointment over the illegal use of flares in the stands. He said then that he might stop sponsoring the Allsvenskan club if the problem was not addressed. Now he has made good on his word and is pausing his sponsorship of Halmstads BK with his own company, Carl Bennet AB, and the listed company Getingen AB. Carl Bennet says that he does not think the club has done enough to get rid of the flares in the stands. Halmstads BK's chairman Pelle Nilsson does not want to confirm that Bennet and Getinge have left as sponsors. Nilsson says that Halmstads BK has not seen any decline in sponsorship revenue ahead of the season. Carl Bennet is willing to go back to being a sponsor if the flare problem in Halmstad is solved. He says that he thinks both the club and the police can do more to solve the problem. Halmstads BK has previously been criticized for the illegal use of flares in the stands. The club has promised to address the problem and improve safety at the arena. Carl Bennet's decision is a significant blow to the club, which is already facing financial challenges. The loss of sponsorship revenue could have a major impact on the club's ability to compete in the Allsvenskan.
