Earnings in the Swedish Ligue 2027

An interesting piece found on the sportowefakty.pl related to earnings in the Swedish League 2027. It claims to obtain the contract of one of the Polish riders who will be competing in Sweden next year.

 

"Even the riders competing in the Polish National Speedway League have no reason to be jealous. It turns out this rider has secured a lump sum payment of... 18,000 Swedish kronor, or just over (7,100 złoty,  = £1’420) for each appearance. This is the amount he'll receive for his performance even if he doesn't score any points.

The problem is that even a full set of points won't guarantee significant bonuses. The lump-sum contract includes an additional bracket, with additional payouts tied to the number of points. However, large sums are a dream. A performance above 10 points would net an additional 8,000 Swedish kronor, or 3,000 złoty. (£600.00) So, a great match offers the potential to earn just over 10,300 złoty.  (£2’060) This includes significant travel costs (fuel for the bus and the ferry ticket), and above all, the running of speedway equipment.

It's no wonder, then, that most top riders treat their Bauhaus-Ligan appearances simply as better training, allowing them to maintain their match rhythm and test their form and equipment against the world's top speedway riders. Instead of rising, the stakes per point are steadily falling, and it's unlikely that the riders' attitudes towards Sweden will change.

The contract we obtained doesn't cover Poland's top speedway rider. Our sources emphasise that the top riders can expect little more. One source says that the highest contract he's heard of for the upcoming season guarantees riders 36,000 Swedish kronor (14,400 złoty).£2’880

These amounts seem ridiculous when compared to the PGE Ekstraliga payouts. Next season, similar payouts, but per point, will be earned by Bartosz Zmarzlik  (14,000 PLN per point,  or £2’800 . Dominik Kubera  , and Leon Madsen  (13,000 PLN each or. £2’600 )The payouts in the Bauhaus-Ligan won't impress even the top riders in the Metalkas 2. Ekstraliga. Rasmus Jensen will earn 7,000 PLN  (£1’400 per point) at Stal Rzeszów next year. Rohan Tungate  and Jason Doyle  secured similar terms at Włókniarz Częstochowa .

Starting this season, Polish juniors will also have the chance to compete in junior competitions in Denmark, Sweden, and the UK. However, there's already considerable reluctance, as competing abroad won't be worthwhile. Not only will they risk injury and travel extensively, but they won't earn much more than they would during regular Junior Teams Polish Championships (DMPJ) tournaments. Polish juniors' contracts guarantee between 200 and 500 złoty  £40.00-£100.00 per point earned against youth riders from other clubs, meaning a strong performance gives them a chance to earn 7,000 złoty,(£1’400) the same amount as a match in Sweden.
