During the first days of the January tour, the Swedish embassy visited the national team's accommodation and reviewed the situation in the region.

- You do not notice any of this and that is why it is important to have contact with those who are initiated in what is happening, says the Swedish Football Association chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson and continues.

- We think we get the best information from the Foreign Ministry and via the embassy here in Qatar and these are our main and direct sources. So far they have given us no reason to have any further concern.

Karl-Erik Nilsson also believes that the uncertainty and safety situation did not affect the players.

- I don't think this has affected the group. They train, so there is full focus on the sports league while we follow the situation at the same time.
