Sweden’s Five National Team Heroes Honored After Most Fans Had Left

51,049 spectators came to the national arena in Solna. But by the time five national team heroes were due to be honored, most had already left.

Emil Forsberg, Robin Olsen, Emil Krafth, Martin Olsson and Viktor Claesson have all played their part in the national football team and should therefore be celebrated after the match between Sweden and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

But the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, as the stands, which had previously been well filled, were eerily empty during the ceremony.

It's great that they're getting a thank you. They deserve it after helping Swedish football for many, many years, says team captain Victor Nilsson Lindelöf.

But it took a long time, and the stands were quite empty?

You could also say that. But you can see those who stay in their seats and really support us and show their appreciation. That's the most important thing.
