FBC Kalmarsund continues to face severe financial difficulties, even after receiving nearly 8 million SEK in municipal funding since 2015. The club's precarious financial state poses a significant risk to its elite license, as further funding challenges loom ahead.
Chairman Andreas Folke has openly addressed the club's tough financial landscape, stating that "reality has caught up with most." Despite having recorded some stabilization of their elite license and showing a capital of only 50,000 SEK, Folke emphasized that substantial challenges remain. He noted that as the end of June approaches, the pressure on the club to sort its financial issues intensifies, particularly with auditors needing to finalize business matters soon.

The ongoing complications for FBC Kalmarsund highlight the fragility of sports organizations that rely significantly on external funding without robust revenue models to support their operations.
