Ahead of the World Cup match against Japan, we provide a detailed explanation of the Sweden national team's expected starting lineup and tactical role, with a focus on 37-year-old regular goalkeeper Norfeldt, selected by Coach Potter.
In the third round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage, the Japanese national team will play against the Swedish national team at Dallas Stadium on June 25 (local time). With Japan almost certain to advance to the finals, this is an important match that will decide the rankings in Group F, and the tactical focus will be on Sweden's expected starting lineup, especially 37-year-old goalkeeper Kristoffer Norfeldt, who was selected by Coach Potter. Since manager Graham Potter took over in November of last year, Norfeldt has firmly established himself as the regular goalkeeper.
