The drama continues at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as teams wait to learn their fate.

In Group F of the tournament, Graham Potter’s Sweden must wait for the table of the third best places to know their fate.

Sweden struggled to build on their stunning opening win in the competition— a 5-1 win over Tunisian.

However, they lost momentum after falling to the Netherlands in the second round of matches before drawing with Japan.

The Netherlands finished as group winners(7 points), followed by the Blue Samurais of Japan(5 points), then Sweden(4 points), before Tunisia, who finished poorly.
