The Swedish Tennis Association and the Stockholm City Council are examing whether or not it is possible to move the Davis Cup match between Israel and Sweden to Stockholm, after it was decided that it would be played without any audience in Malmö due to "security concerns".
In Malmö the Labour politicians claimed that it was "security concerns" that forced them to decide that the match would be played without any audience. Apparently the Centre-right politicians in Stockholm have more faith in the police's ability to do their job, if anyone would be stupid enough to try to do something which could endanger the security of the audience.
Madeleine Sjöstedt, member of the Stockholm City Council for the Liberal Party, says they have been working all weekend trying to find a solution, something that the Secretary General of the Swedish Tennis Association says he is grateful for.
Hopefully Stockholm will be able to restore some faith in Sweden, now that Malmö has attempted to embarrass the nation through playing foreign policy, which understandably has not been very well received in Israel.
