Sweden vs Tunisia: World Cup 2026 preview

Sweden and Tunisia meet in Monterrey at Estadio Monterrey (Estadio BBVA) on 15 June 2026, kicking off at 03:00 GMT (23:00 EST on 14 June). The Group F opener carries high stakes with the Netherlands and Japan also in the section, and the match will test both sides under the North American summer conditions.

Sweden reached the tournament in dramatic fashion after a poor start under Jon Dahl Tomasson prompted the appointment of Graham Potter. Potter steadied the team and guided them through the backdoor provided by UEFA Nations League seeding into the play-offs, where Viktor Gyökeres starred with a hat-trick against Ukraine and another decisive goal in a 3-2 win over Poland.

The squad arrives in good health, with Gyökeres and Alexander Isak expected to lead a high-pressing attack supported by Dejan Kulusevski, while Victor Lindelöf and Carl Starfelt anchor the defence and Samuel Dahl is likely to start at left-back.
