“It’s my ultimate dream and would mean everything,” said Magdalena Eriksson on Tuesday as she sets her sights on the UEFA Women’s European Championship title. But first, she must overcome the defending champions, England. The upcoming match is a replay of the Euro 2022 semi-final, where the Lionesses triumphed with a 4-0 victory in Sheffield.
Now, Sweden is determined to exact revenge. Having proved their strength in this year’s campaign, they stunned Germany with a 4-1 win in Zurich to top Group C — marking ‘DFB-Frauen’s’ heaviest defeat in 34 years.
Could this be the year Sweden finally shakes off their ‘bridesmaid’ reputation? With a rich history that includes winning the first Women’s Euros in 1984 and finishing as runners-up three times, they’re hungry for more. Under coach Peter Gerhardsson, Sweden has reached two World Cup semi-finals, earned a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, and made it to the Euro 2022 semi-finals. The stage is set for a thrilling battle as Sweden aims for glory at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025!
