The Swedish men's football team, recognized as the blågula, has claimed victory in the C division of the Nations League 2024, which positions them in the B division for the upcoming season in autumn 2026. The draw for the Nations League took place on Thursday evening, revealing that Sweden will compete in group B4 alongside Poland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Romania. This advancement is critical for the team as it provides an opportunity to ascend to the A division depending on their performance in the upcoming matches.

As part of their schedule, the Swedish team will participate in four matches during the extended international window from September 21 to October 6. The final two fixtures will be held in a later window from November 9 to 17. Achieving a group victory will enable the national team to move up into the A division, while finishing second will grant them a playoff opportunity for promotion. Conversely, finishing in third or lower could lead to a playoff for relegation or demotion from the B division entirely.

Before embarking on their Nations League journey, Sweden is set to face Ukraine in the World Cup playoff semi-final on March 26. A victory in that match would pit them against the winner of the encounter between Poland and Albania in the final, scheduled for March 31. This upcoming World Cup playoff adds heightened pressure and significance to Sweden's matches in the Nations League, emphasizing the importance of consistent performances during this period.
