Sweden at the UEFA European Championship
The UEFA European Championship is one of the major competitive international football tournaments, first played in 1960, whose finals stage has been held every four years, with the sixteenth staging of the competition occurring in 2021 (postponed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe).
The Sweden national football team did not enter the competition until 1992 when it was the host nation of the tournament. However, Sweden has only qualified every time since the 2000 edition (played in Belgium and the Netherlands), having missed out the 1996 edition. The team's best performance has been reaching the semi-finals once — in 1992, losing to Germany 2–3 to finish with a bronze medal, Sweden's highest achievement up to date in the European Championship.

Notes
- The match, originally scheduled for 21:45 local time, was delayed 15 minutes to prevent overlap with the other Group D match between Ukraine and France, which had been delayed due to rain.[6]
