4,200 tickets have been sold so far for the opening match against Montenegro - thus setting a new attendance record for the women's national team on home soil.

It's growing every day now, says Tobias Winsnes, project manager for the European Championship, about ticket sales to TT.

The previous record was 4,020.

Scandinavium will accommodate around 8,000 spectators during the European Championship.

Sweden will play five group-stage matches in Gothenburg. If they advance, they will play in the Czech Republic.
