who will sweden play next

Sweden’s next match is in the World Cup knockout round after advancing from the group stage, and the opponent is not yet fully set in the result I found. One report says Sweden advanced after a 1-1 draw with Japan, and another says Sweden is through to the round of 32 while the next opponent will be determined by the bracket.

What is known

• Sweden has already advanced.

• The next game is a knockout match in the round of 32.

• The exact opponent depends on the final bracket placement and other group results.

Practical answer

So, the safest answer right now is: Sweden will next play a round-of-32 opponent that is still bracket-dependent, not a fixed team yet.
