- It is now clear who will be allowed to represent Sweden in Olympic football. One of the big news is that the young talent Hanna Bennison has got a place in the team. At the same time, goalkeeper Zecira Musovic is not in the squad but only stands as a reserve.
- “Of course it has been more difficult than usual. It is not possible to think of two players per position as we usually do, but must have players who can play in different positions. In addition, we need to think about the total load considering how close it is between the matches “, says national team captain Peter Gerhardsson in a press release.
- Sweden begins the group game in the Olympics on July 21 by meeting the United States.
