Sweden has qualified for the 2026 World Cup after a victory over Poland. The match was reportedly decisive for a spot in the tournament, with Sweden securing qualification through a 3-2 win, according to Vestmanlands Läns Tidning. Viktor Gyökeres scored the decisive goal late in the game.
In the qualifiers, goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt played in Sweden's wins over Ukraine and Poland after Viktor Johansson took over as first-choice goalkeeper from Robin Olsen last autumn, according to Fotbolltransfers. Nordfeldt, who has 20 caps for Sweden, reportedly stated that the decision on who will be in goal for the World Cup is up to coach Graham Potter. Gustaf Lagerbielke scored Sweden's second goal in the match against Poland.
