Sweden is going through tough times. The team that stopped Italy on their way to the 2018 World Cup and reached the tournament’s quarterfinals has now missed two major competitions in a row. Sweden failed in the playoffs for the 2022 World Cup and won only three out of eight matches in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Jon Dahl Tomasson, known for his successful coaching career at Malmö, was brought in to fix the situation. However, the results for the Swedish national team have been disappointing so far: out of recent friendlies, only a victory against Albania, while losing to Portugal (2-5), Denmark (1-2), and Serbia (0-3). In the first round of the Nations League, Sweden won 3-1 away against Azerbaijan.
Estonia failed in the qualifying tournament for the European Championship. In a group with Belgium, Austria, Sweden, and Azerbaijan, Thomas Häberli’s team finished last, earning only one point. However, a successful performance in the Nations League allowed the team to reach the Euro playoffs, where they were defeated by Poland with a crushing score of 1-5.
Despite this, Häberli retained his position. In friendly matches in the spring, Estonia lost to Finland (1-2), and in the summer suffered a heavy defeat against Switzerland (0-4). At the same time, the team showed good results in the Baltic Cup, beating the Faroe Islands (4-1) in the semifinals and Lithuania in a penalty shootout in the final. In the first round of the Nations League, Estonia hosted Slovakia and lost 0-1.
