The Swedish music group GES, consisting of Anders Glenmark, Thomas 'Orup' Eriksson, and Niklas Strömstedt, will not reunite for a comeback despite Sweden qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA. The group created the song 'När vi gräver guld i USA' for Sweden's 1994 World Cup campaign in the same country, and it was sung by fans after a recent victory. According to reports from Sportbladet and Expressen Sport, the members have decided to stay in the background and let new artists take over, with no plans for further projects together.

Their last collaboration was during an arena tour in 2022. Leif Käck, a record label executive working with the group, reportedly stated that GES does nothing together anymore, either on stage or in the studio. He suggested that the song might be played frequently again and could potentially be covered by other artists during the World Cup summer.
