The final qualifying round will take place on Sunday in Tirana, Albania, when Sweden will face the host nation. A 3–0 or 3–1 win in sets will secure a play-off spot in the European League and also a ticket to the 2028 European Championship.

Sweden started strongly in the match against Austria, winning the opening two sets 25–13 and 25–19. Austria raised their game and won the third set, but the Swedes quickly recovered and took the fourth 25–16.

Isabella Haak was, as usual, dominant for Sweden. She scored 39 points, including three blocks and three aces.
