Håkan Jeppsson (born 1961 in Malmö, Sweden) is a Swedish fotball chairman for the Swedish club Malmö FF, a post he has held since 2010.[1]
In his younger years Jeppsson played football at Malmö FF simultaneously as he played table tennis at IK Pallas. After a couple of years being active in both sports he decided to quit football in favour of becoming a professional table tennis player. Jeppsson had his active career at the same time as Sweden was dominating the table tennis world in the 1970s and the 1980s. After growing tired of the life as a professional player he decided to focus on a civil career and started studying international economy at Lund University.[2] After graduating he worked his way up to higher positions. He is now the CEO of Inwido.[3]
Jeppsson was elected a board member of Malmö FF in 2004. Eventually he was elected vice chairman under Bengt Madsen. In 2010 when Madsen decided not to stand for re-election Jeppsson was the only candidate to succeed him and did so on 18 February 2010.[4]
