Sweden Women's World Cup 2023 squad: Who's in & who's out?

Details about the Sweden squad for the Women's World Cup 2023, who has been selected, who missed the final squad.

Sweden are one of the strong contenders to go deep into the knockout rounds of the 2023 Women's World Cup. The team has a good history in the tournament, having finished third three times (1991, 2011, and 2019) and reached the final in 2003.

Sweden are led by experienced players like Caroline Seger, Kosovare Asllani, and Barcelona star Fridolina Rolfo. The team also has a number of talented youngsters coming through.

Sweden is drawn in Group G with South Africa, Italy, and Argentina. The team will be looking to top the group and avoid a difficult matchup in the knockout stages. Sweden's chances of winning the World Cup cannot be ruled out, but they will need to be at their very best to do so.

    GOALKEEPERS

    Jennifer Falk is the most experienced goalkeeper in the Sweden squad, with 16 caps in her pocket. Only in her absence will Chelsea keeper Zecira Musovic step in to guard the goal. Tove Enblom is clearly a back-up option for the team but she will be hoping to make her competitive debut for Sweden.

    FORWARDS

    Fridolina Rolfo, a crucial player in Sweden's forward line, will be key to unlocking defences. While excelling as a fullback at Barcelona in recent seasons, she is deployed in a more advanced role for the national team. Rolfo's remarkable contribution of 16 goals in 21 league appearances for Barcelona, an exceptional feat for a fullback, highlights her attacking prowess.

    As Sweden sets its sights on the upcoming tournament in Australia and New Zealand, Rolfo will be partnered by the likes of experienced Sofia Jakobsson and Arsenal duo Lina Hurting and Stina Blackstenius.
