Organization

EFD does not administer the divisions, but instead acts in cooperation with the Swedish Football Association, the member clubs, sponsors and partners. The goal is to develop Swedish women's elite football resultwise, economically, commercially and administratively.[2]

EFD holds all commercial and medial rights for licensing.[3] Since 2015 EFD have arranged recordings and broadcasts of all Damallsvenskan matches,[3][4][5] which can be viewed worldwide at Damallsvenskan.tv for a fee.
