The 18-year-old Allsvenskan success players Felicia Schröder, Häcken, and Smilla Holmberg, Hammarby, take their place in Sweden's starting eleven away against Italy in the Nations League football.
FootballThe national team captain Peter Gerhardsson is usually a cautious general. Not now, when he is about to make his final championship. With 44 days left until the European Championship premiere, Häcken's 18-year-old super talent Felicia Schröder gets the chance. She has good game understanding, is a good goal scorer and game designer, says Gerhardsson.
FootballThis year's big gold favorite Häcken against this year's second-biggest, Hammarby. The top meeting in Damallsvenskan ended with a win (1–0) for the latter – who now climb to the top of the table. This is what we have been waiting for a long time, says Julie Blakstad after "Bajen" defeated Häcken for the first time in three meetings.
FootballSweden sought revenge for the 1–1 draw last time. But did not succeed in beating Wales this time either. Instead, the return match also ended 1–1 after a cavalcade of missed Swedish chances. Incredibly frustrating, says Swedish goal-scorer Magdalena Eriksson to SVT.
SportsAmanda Ilestedt is back in the national team – with daughter Mila. Without the new player agreement, it would hardly have been possible. It means a lot, says the Arsenal defender.
SportsA shock start, a rescue with face, a missed penalty, a free kick in the crossbar and a new penalty in the final seconds. Sweden-Italy had it all. Fridolina Rolfö made sure the Nations League drama ended with a Swedish victory, 3-2. Super wonderful feeling, says the match hero.
SportsJennifer Falk: 26 national team matches. Other goalkeepers: 0. But it's not a guaranteed spot in the starting lineup anyway, notes the Häcken goalkeeper. I take absolutely nothing for granted, she says.
