Sweden are playing their opening World Cup match against Tunisia in Monterrey on Sunday (June 14, 2026) but it has been a long and winding road to get here for the team and coach ‌Graham Potter. Sweden finished bottom of their qualifying group and needed a Nations League playoff lifeline to make it to ⁠the finals.

In the other Group F match, Japan drew 2-2 with the Netherlands.
