Mjallby faces Elfsborg at Strandvallen on Saturday and can in practice secure a historic SM-gold. But now storm Amy may stop a potential celebration on Listerlandet. SVT meteorologist Nils Holmqvist warns that a terrible weather is expected in Blekinge. SMHI has issued 27 warnings for strong winds. In the villages, it can blow up to 25 meters per second. According to Axel Fägerhall of the Swedish Football Association's competition management, it is ultimately the referee who makes the decision whether the match will take place or not. Usually, the referee inspects the football pitch about 90 minutes before kick-off. Now the inspection can take place earlier, possibly already on Saturday morning, according to Fägerhall. Mjallby's safety and event manager Selma Ernestrand confirms that the club has several measures to ensure play on Saturday. The Allsvenskan national team break takes place between October 5-18. Mjallby hopes that the storm will miss Strandvallen in the end. Axel Fägerhall says that it is possible that the match can be played on Sunday, but it depends on how the booking situation looks. Mjallby has players who are called up to the national team, which can complicate things if the match needs to be postponed.
