Sweden
Team Profile
- Sweden are lining up in their 13th edition of the FIFA World Cup™ and are returning for the first time since 2018.
- The Blågult’s finest hour on the global stage came in 1958, when they made home comforts count to reach the trophy decider, ultimately finishing
runners-up to Brazil. The Swedes have placed in the top four on three other occasions: finishing third in both 1950 and 1994 and fourth in 1938. - Sweden have reached the knockout phase in each of their last four tournament campaigns, with the Scandinavians’ last group-stage exit having come back in 1990.
- They booked their place at the 2026 showpiece through the UEFA play‑offs, defeating Ukraine 3-1 in the semi‑finals thanks to a Viktor Gyökeres hat‑trick. In a dramatic final, Gyökeres delivered again, scoring an 88th‑minute winner as Sweden edged Poland 3-2.
