Sweden hosts Poland in the Nations League at the Strawberry arena in Solna after an opening victory against Romania. However, Sweden is missing the injured Emil Holm, Alexander Isak and Hjalmar Ekdal for the match.

Elliot Stroud was a key player when Mjällby won its first SC gold in 2025 and secured the cup final victory against Hammarby in 2026. He was selected for the men's national team by Graham Potter, debuted in the WC squad and played in North America. After the summer, he left Mjällby for Hull in the Premier League, where he started the opener against Manchester United and contributed to a 2–0 victory. In the national team, he scored his first goal against Romania, but it was ruled out after VAR review. He is now available for Sweden's Nations League match against Poland.
In March, Sweden qualified for the WC by defeating Poland in a playoff. Now Poland's performance against Bosnia-Herzegovina is being criticized as weak, especially Robert Lewandowski's performance. Journalist Maciej Frydrych highlights young players such as Wiktor Nowak and Kacper Potulski as the hope for the future ahead of the Nations League meeting against Sweden tonight at the National Arena.
High jump star Stefan Holm physically attacked journalist Emil Persson on Saturday. After the incident, Holm now completely distances himself from his actions, apologizes and announces that he will seek therapy.

Nygren expresses disappointment but emphasizes that one must move on, noting that the supporters are also disappointed. Sweden faces Poland in the Nations League on Monday at 20.45.
