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.
