About Japan vs Sweden
Japan and Sweden meet in the final round of Group F, which also features Netherlands and Tunisia. The fixture spans two confederations: Japan represent AFC (Asia) and Sweden come from UEFA (Europe), while group rivals Netherlands also sit in UEFA and Tunisia in CAF (Africa). With two European sides and a strong Dutch presence, Group F is tightly contested, and this last match can decide who goes through. The top two in each group, plus the eight best third-placed teams across the twelve groups, reach the round of 32.
This is the first 48-team World Cup, hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, with Seattle a host city just down the road from Kirkland. See every match we are showing on our World Cup at Sparrow hub.
