The Swedish national team striker continues:

"The support from everyone on site has been completely incredible so far, and we really look forward to getting to play in front of a full stand with yellow supporters again on Thursday. Together we will do everything to win against England and advance in the playoffs", she says.

Now, the Swedish Football Association, together with Uefa, is looking into the possibility of adding more tickets to the Swedish stand.

Around 8,000 Swedish supporters are said to have seen Sweden's matches on site in Switzerland so far. Something that seems to have lifted the team.

It's indescribable. We've never had this many fans on site in a championship. It also means that we get an incredible amount of energy. After the match, we get to celebrate with them and feel that they are involved in this, said Fridolina Rolfö after the Germany match on Saturday.
