Lillestrøm SK is preparing for European participation after Bodø/Glimt's win in the cup final on Ullevaal. This means that Lillestrøm SK will now enter the final qualifying round for next season's European league. Managing Director Robert Lauritsen is very pleased with the development and believes that justice has been served for his own club with Glimt's victory. Lillestrøm SK has long been critical of the Norwegian Football Association's planned super cup final. Lauritsen says that LSK should have been qualified for the European Cup regardless of this match, but that it was very good to enjoy that it happened. Last year, all clubs that made it to the European league received a minimum of 46 million kroner. Conference league play gives 35 million kroner. This is a lot of value for Lillestrøm SK. The focus is now on today's match against Rosenborg, but when the new week begins, the club management will start planning for Europe. There are a few things that need to be done before that, and Lillestrøm SK has been close several times. Lillestrøm SK's Managing Director Robert Lauritsen followed Saturday's NM final from Trondheim, where he is to watch LSK's league match against Rosenborg. Lauritsen believes that LSK will now enter the final qualifying round for next season's European league. This means that the canaries are at least guaranteed conference league play. And it's extremely important for all clubs in Norway. Getting into Europe means extra funds, and then you have to be sober and sensible about how you use these funds, so that you build a strong club that will perform at a good level over time. Lillestrøm SK would have had to play a super cup final against Brann if the Bergensers had won the NM final on Ullevaal on Saturday. But Glimt won, and therefore the Lillestrøm camp could also celebrate. The cup final was followed by him while he was having dinner. It was incredibly exciting, and we walked around with high pulse for a long time, says LSK's managing director. This means a lot - both for the club, the whole city and for all who are happy with Lillestrøm SK. So now it's important to focus on today's match against Rosenborg and then start planning for Europe.
