+ This is how Sweden moves forward
All first and second place teams in the group stage advance. The same applies to the eight best third place teams in the group. Should Sweden finish first or second in their group, they will face one of the four countries in Group C.
+ Sweden's warm-up
The national team will gather in Stockholm on May 27 and play Norway in Oslo on June 1. Greece will be the opposition in a friendly in Solna on June 4. Two days later, the plane will take off for Dallas, Texas. The national team will be based at Toyota Stadium in Frisco.
+ This is how it went last time
Sweden did not qualify for the World Cup in Qatar 2022. In Russia 2018, Blågult reached the quarterfinals.
Sweden managed to win their group, where Germany had been the favorites. In the round of 16 they faced Switzerland. Emil Forsberg scored the only goal - and England awaited in the quarter-finals.
There they lost 0-2 after goals from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli.
+ The World Cup opening match and final
The tournament starts on June 11 at 9:00 PM (UTC) with the Mexico-South Africa match in Mexico City. The final will be played on July 19 at 9:00 PM (UTC) in New Jersey.
+ Reigning world champions
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar ended with Lionel Messi's Argentina winning against France on penalties.
+ The threat: The heat
July is the month that offers the warmest weather on average in the United States. Temperatures can rise to 32 degrees in the afternoons.
Players will be given three-minute fluid breaks in each half regardless of the weather.
Officials will monitor the weather and be ready to activate emergency plans in the event of extreme heat. If activated, the public will receive information on how to protect themselves - and recognize symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, the AP reports.
+ Iran a question mark
The war in the Middle East has created uncertainty for Iran's participation in the World Cup. Iran will play all of its group stage matches in the United States, despite the fact that Iran has said it does not want to.
On its website, the association says that in addition to visa requirements, it requires, among other things, that the flag and national anthem be respected - and that security be guaranteed for the team.
