The tournaments

EM 1960

Svenska Fotbollförbundet did not register his national team for the 1960 European Football Championship, which was still held as the “European Cup of Nations” .

EM 1964

In 1964 , the Swedes coached by Lennart Nyman , Sweden's first official national coach, wanted to take part and had to compete in the preliminary round against neighboring Norway . After a 2-0 win in Oslo , in which Örjan Martinsson scored both goals, a 1-1 draw in the second leg was enough to reach the round of 16. There they met Vice European Champion Yugoslavia . After a 0-0 win in Belgrade, the second leg was won 3-2. In the quarter-finals it was the end of the line against defending champions Soviet Union . This time the Swedes had to compete at home first and were only able to present a 1-1. In the second leg they then lost 3-1. Nyman initially stayed in office, but after missing qualification for the 1966 World Cup - with a 2-1 home game against Germany - he was dismissed.

EM 1968

In 1968 qualifying games with several groups of four and one group of three were scheduled for the first time. Sweden, which was now trained by Orvar Bergmark , had to play in a group of four against third place in the World Cup, Portugal , Bulgaria and Norway. Although the first game was won in Portugal and a 1-1 draw in the second leg, after that only one home win against Norway was possible. All other games were lost, making it only enough for third place. Group winners Bulgaria then failed in the quarter-finals to Italy , which was then allowed to host the finals and won the title for the only time so far - also thanks to a lucky draw. Bergmark initially stayed in office and led Sweden to the 1970 World Cup , but then resigned after the preliminary round.

European Championship 1972

In qualifying for the European Championship finals in 1972, Sweden, which was now trained by Georg Ericson , then had to compete against defending champions and runner-up world champions Italy, Austria and Ireland . The Swedes achieved two wins, two draws and two defeats in each of the six games, which was only enough for third place. Group winners Italy then failed in the quarter-finals against Belgium, which was then allowed to host the finals and finished third there. Ericson remained in office and led Sweden to the 1974 World Cup .

EM 1976

In 1976 the final round was held for the last time with four teams. Sweden, which was only eliminated in the second group stage at the 1974 World Cup, was only third in qualifying group 4 behind Yugoslavia and the tied Northern Ireland ahead of Norway. Sweden lost their home game against Northern Ireland, but won there. Both games were won against Norway, but both were lost against group winners Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia then also reached the finals and was allowed to host them, but only finished fourth. Ericson then stayed in office and led Sweden to the 1978 World Cup .

EM 1980

For the European Championship in Italy, which was held for the first time with eight teams, the Swedes had to compete against defending champions Czechoslovakia , France and Luxembourg in qualifying . Sweden could only win the home game against Luxembourg and was only third again. Group winners Czechoslovakia finished third in the final round. Ericson resigned after missing the qualification, his successor was Lars Arnesson .

EM 1984

In qualifying for the European Championship in France, Romania , again Czechoslovakia, Italy and Cyprus were the opponents. While the Italians were surprisingly weak and had nothing to do with the outcome, the Romanians, Swedes and the Czechoslovaks fought a race that was open until the last day of the game, which the Romanians ultimately won with a 1-1 draw in Czechoslovakia, because they thus won had one point more than Sweden. In the final round, however, they did not play a role. Arnesson initially stayed in office, but after failing to qualify for the 1986 World Cup , he handed over the coaching post to Olle Nordin .

EM 1988

The Scandinavian countries Norway, Sweden and Denmark had also applied for the European Championship in 1988 in a joint application, but lost in the vote on the award to the Federal Republic of Germany. So Sweden had to qualify again and met Italy, Portugal, Switzerland and Malta . Sweden missed the qualification with a 1: 2 in Italy on the last match day, with which Italy went to the European Championship as group winners and reached the semi-finals there. Nordin remained in office and led Sweden to the 1990 World Cup , but was dismissed after three defeats in the preliminary round.

EM 1992

In the choice of the host of the European Championships in 1992 , Sweden prevailed against Spain on December 17, 1988 and was thus qualified for the first time. Sweden used the time between the World Cup and the European Championship for 19 friendlies and even traveled to Australia for the first time . Nine games were won, three ended in a draw and seven were lost, including against world champions Germany.

At the finals, Sweden, which had been coached by Tommy Svensson since 1991 , was the only debutant alongside Scotland . In their first European Championship final match they met France , with Jan Eriksson scoring the first European Championship goal for Sweden, but only a 1-1 was achieved. In the second game against Denmark , which was nominated for the suspended Yugoslavs at short notice, they achieved their first victory in a European Championship game with a 1-0. In the last group game against England they fell behind after four minutes, but turned the game around in the second half and made it 2-1 as group winners in the semi-finals. Here they met world champions Germany and lost 2: 3. Svensson stayed in office, led Sweden to the 1994 World Cup and surprisingly finished third there.

EM 1996

For Euro 1996, which was first staged with 16 teams, the Swedes in a group with Switzerland, had Turkey , Hungary and Iceland qualify . Sweden only won in Iceland and the home game against Hungary. It was only enough for third place. Group winners Switzerland and Turkey as runners-up qualified for the first time directly for the European Championship finals, but were eliminated in the group phase. Svensson remained in office, but resigned after failing to qualify for the 1998 World Cup .

EM 2000

Four years later, under Tommy Söderberg, the first athletic qualification for the EM 2000 was achieved. In a group with England, Poland , Bulgaria and Luxembourg , the Swedes won seven games and only gave up one point in a draw against England. So they were directly qualified as group winners, England had to make the playoffs of the group runners-up. Here they were drawn from Scotland and after a 2-0 win in Scotland, the 0-1 win in London could be coped with to reach the finals.

At the finals, Sweden was drawn into a group with co-hosts Belgium and played the opening game against the Belgians. The Swedes not only lost the game 2-1, but also captain Patrik Andersson with a yellow-red card . In the second game against Turkey they only got a goalless draw. Before the last game against the Italians who had already qualified for the quarter-finals, there was still a chance of reaching the quarter-finals with a win, provided that Turkey did not win too high against Belgium in the parallel game. The Turks did them a favor, but Sweden lost 2-1 to Italy and were eliminated from the bottom of the group. Söderberg remained in office, but in the following years shared responsibility with his former assistant Lars Lagerbäck . Both then managed to lead Sweden to the 2002 World Cup , where they were eliminated in the round of 16 with a golden goal .

EM 2004

Scene from the quarter-final match against the Netherlands

In qualifying for the 2004 European Championship, Sweden met surprisingly strong Latvians as well as Poland, Hungary and, for the first time, San Marino. Sweden won five games, drew twice and only lost the last game against Latvia when the qualification was perfect. Latvia finished second and was then able to qualify for a major tournament for the first time in the playoffs against Turkey.

At the finals, the Swedes were drawn into a group with Denmark, Italy and Bulgaria, which was dealt by the Swedes 0-5 in the first game. This was followed by a 1-1 draw against Italy, in which Zlatan Ibrahimović had only managed to equalize five minutes before the end of the game. With that, Sweden and Danes both had four points before the last game and a 2-2 was enough for them both to reach the quarter-finals, regardless of how Italy played against Bulgaria. With this result, the two separated, which led the Italian media to suspect an agreement. In the quarter-finals, ex-European champions Netherlands were the opponents. Since neither scored a goal in 120 minutes, the penalty shoot-out had to decide. Here Zlatan Ibrahimović shot over the goal on the Swedish side and Phillip Cocu hit the post from the Dutch side . Since everyone else scored, a sixth player had to play on each side. But while Olof Mellberg failed at the Dutch goalkeeper, Arjen Robben was the last Dutchman to score . Söderberg then left sole responsibility to his colleague Lagerbäck and became the coach of the U-21 team . Lagerbäck then led Sweden to the 2006 World Cup , where the team failed in the second round to Gastgeger Germany.

EM 2008

For the European Championship 2008 the Swedes qualified in a qualifying group with Spain and Northern Ireland , Denmark , Latvia, Iceland and Liechtenstein . Sweden lost just two games, finished second, two points behind Spain, and qualified for the finals, like the Iberians, where they met again. Other opponents were defending champions Greece , against whom the only victory, and Russia . Due to the two defeats against Spain and Russia, Sweden retired as third party. Lagerbäck initially remained in office, but after failing to qualify for the 2010 World Cup , he resigned and unsuccessfully looked after Nigeria there .

EM 2012

For the EM 2012, the Swedes, now trained by Erik Hamrén , had to compete in the qualification against the Netherlands , Hungary , Finland , Moldova and San Marino . Sweden lost only in the Netherlands and Hungary but won all other games and finished second behind the Dutch in the group. As the best runner-up in the group, they qualified directly for the finals. In the first group game they met co-hosts Ukraine and lost 2-1 with two goals from Andrij Shevchenko . In the second game against England, they lost 3-2 after changing leadership. So they had no chance to qualify for the quarter-finals before the last game, but then won 2-0 against France, but were only bottom of the group behind the tied Ukrainians due to a direct comparison. Hamrén did not succeed in leading Sweden to the 2014 World Cup , but he got a new chance for the 2016 European Championship.

EM 2016

The Swedish team before the qualifying match against Russia on September 5, 2015

For the first time, 24 teams took part in the European Championship. For the draw of the qualification groups , which took place on February 23, 2014, the Swedes were placed in Pot 2. Sweden was drawn in Group G with Russia and was drawn as further group opponents Austria , Montenegro , Liechtenstein and Moldova .

The first two in the group qualified directly for the European Championship finals. If the third-placed team had finished third in the group, they would also qualify directly. The remaining third in the group played four other participants in the playoffs.

Sweden started with a 1-1 draw in Austria and with the same result in the home game against the Russians, then came only to a narrow 2-0 against Liechtenstein and played 1-1 again in Montenegro. After a 2-0 win in Moldova and a 3-1 win against Montenegro, Sweden are in second place ahead of the final games in autumn 2015. After a win against Montenegro and defeats in Russia and Austria, Sweden fell back to 3rd place. Since Austria and Russia were no longer naked, Sweden only managed to get 3rd place and to participate in the relegation games of the group third despite victories in the remaining games. There was Denmark opponent. After a 2-1 home win, a 2-2 in the second leg could be coped with to reach the finals. In the group draw on December 12, 2015, Sweden was assigned to pot 3 and could have played host France, defending champion Spain or world champion Germany, but was drawn to the group with Belgium, Italy and Ireland. After a draw against Ireland, which Sweden managed with an own goal by an Irish player, the other two games were lost 0-1 and the Swedes were eliminated as the bottom of the group. Erik Hamrén's tenure as national coach ended with the end of the European Championship , followed by Janne Andersson . After 133, 131 and 116 international matches, the time as a national player for goalkeepers Andreas Isaksson , Kim Källström and record goalscorer and captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic also ended .

EM 2021

Sweden had applied for the pan-European EM with the Friends Arena in Solna for three group games and a round of 16 or quarter-finals, but was not considered. Like the countries in which games will take place, Sweden also had to qualify. The Swedes met in one of the five groups of six on Spain, Norway, Romania, the Faroe Islands and Malta. The Swedes won 2-1 against Romania at the beginning of the qualification, then reached a 3: 3 in Norway after a 2-0 deficit and 3-2 lead, with the equalizer falling in the seventh minute of stoppage time. After a 3-0 win against Malta, the Swedes lost 3-0 in Spain. The Faroe Islands and Malta each won 4-0, but in between they only scored 1-1 at home against Norway. On the third from last game day they led 1-0 against Spain until stoppage time, but then had to accept the equalizer in the second minute of stoppage time, which enabled the Spaniards to qualify early. With a 2-0 win in Romania on the penultimate matchday, the Swedes were able to secure second place and thus also the direct qualification, which was concluded with a 3-0 win against the Faroe Islands on the last matchday.

At the draw on November 30, 2019, the Swedes were drawn into the group with Spain, which they will play against in Bilbao . They will also meet Poland in Dublin and a team that has to qualify via the playoffs in March 2020, possibly Ireland, which would give them a second away game.
