Sweden have fielded a national team since 1904, playing in World Cup qualifying and their confederation’s tournaments.
Overview
Sweden's national football team is governed by the Swedish Football Association, known as Svenska Fotbollförbundet, which was founded in 1904. The team competes in UEFA qualifying and has participated in multiple FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship tournaments over the decades. Sweden reached the FIFA World Cup final in 1958, finishing as runners-up as host nation, which remains their highest achievement in senior international competition. They have not won a major senior international title.
The squad has historically produced technically capable players across all positions. Current notable players include goalkeepers Victor Johansson and Karl-Johan Nordfeldt, defender Jacob Widell Zetterström, midfielder Hjälmar Ekdal, and defenders Isak Hien and Gustav Lagerbielke. The team plays its home matches at various venues across Sweden, with Friends Arena in Solna serving as the primary national stadium. Sweden wear yellow shirts and blue shorts, colours drawn directly from the national flag.
