This will be paid through the clubs of the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) during the next three years. 

A similar agreement had been set in place for 2018-2019, but expired. 

SIHA will also use SEK450,000 (£38,000/$46,000/€42,000) for further investment in the development of elite women’s hockey.

This follows 43 women's national team players joining a strike earlier this month. 

They declined an invitation to a camp back home, followed by the Five Nations Tournament in Finland, where – opposed to their status in International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) play – they would have met the sport's top nations.

The strike saw many post a message on social media on August 14, with the hashtag #FörFramtiden, which translates to "for the future".

Players' association SICO revealed the reasons for it two days later, along with 10 demands.

SIHA and the SHL have now announced a financial solution for the women’s national team programme, including compensation for loss of earnings when players join the national team camps, to be paid through SDHL clubs.

"I’m pleased that we found a solution for the players of the women’s national team for compensation of lost earnings for the next three years, but also that this is done with the agreements we have between us and the leagues," SIHA chairman Anders Larsson said.

"Some questions remain in our discussions with the players and SICO and, thanks to the SHL, we can now solve one of the important parts about compensation and also provide good conditions for our continuing discussions."

Last week, prior to the announcement, there was a first meeting between the SIHA and SICO to try and solve the crisis.

"In general, it was constructive and good," SIHA general secretary Tommy Boustedt told SVT.

"There were many good questions from them and I hope we were able to answer them.

"The representatives from SICO were satisfied with the answers for now, but so far we have no final agreement.

"I think we are close to each other in all the issues raised."

The situation follows Sweden's shock relegation to Division I at this year's IIHF Women's World Championship in Espoo in Finland.

Never before had a Swedish national team been relegated in an IIHF World Championship event, but it happened after Sweden finished fourth in Group B behind Czech Republic, Germany and Japan.

Since the historic silver medal-winning performance at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, the results of the Swedish senior women’s national team have worsened.

They finished fourth at Vancouver 2010, fourth at Sochi 2014, seventh at Pyeongchang 2018, and ninth at this year's IIHF World Championships.

The result at Pyeongchang 2018 also resulted in the loss of backing from the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOK) for women’s ice hockey, which was the starting point of financial issues around programme funding and player support. 

After the recent issues and negative press, it is believed the SOK could be open to rethinking the funding issue when meeting with the SIHA next month.

In what would be the first tournament under the new agreement that will run until 2022, Sweden is due to host Canada, Finland and the United States for a Four Nations Tournament in Luleå from November 5 to 9.
