The Swedish national team's matches in the European Championship play-offs have been moved from Bilbao and Dublin as the host cities have not been able to guarantee the European Football Association UEFA's requirement that 25 percent of the stands be filled.

Sweden will instead play in Sevilla and St. Petersburg.

The message means that the tickets that Swedish supporters have already obtained are now invalid.

Fans will get their money back for the tickets, but getting new ones can be difficult.

Tickets will be raffled off according to the supporter club's award principle where 50% of the ticket quota will be awarded to members with the highest score.

"UEFA has announced that they will communicate this to SvFF, and those who have bought a ticket, immediately when the work with the ticket quotas is complete.

However, we can expect that the ticket quota will be greatly reduced ", writes the Swedish Football Association on its website.
