Sweden has only a theoretical possibility of qualifying with 1 point from 4 games, or it may qualify for the play-offs by virtue of being top of the UEFA Nations League.

Hupu News on October 14th In the 2026 World Cup European Qualifiers, Sweden was in a desperate situation. After the first 4 rounds of the group stage, they only scored 1 draw, 3 losses and 1 point, ranking at the bottom. Switzerland tops the list with 10 points, followed by Kosovo with 7 points and Slovenia in third with 3 points.

To retain the hope of qualifying, Sweden must win its last two games (against Slovenia and Switzerland), and hope that Kosovo will lose consecutive games in order to have a chance to advance to the play-offs through second place in the group. This means they need a miracle.

This team, which has world-class stars such as Isaac and Kulusevski, has fallen into a sluggish state again and may miss the main match of the World Cup for the second consecutive time. However, Sweden may still qualify for the play-offs by virtue of its previous top spot in the UEFA Nations League.
