Andreas Granqvist made his last national team stay at this summer's European Championships.
Since then, the national team has been waiting for a new flag bearer.
Now the new name has been presented.
Victor Nilsson Lindelöf, 27, will be the new team captain for the Swedish men's national team.
- It is a very great honor but also a great responsibility.
When I was growing up, I dreamed, just like all other young football players, of playing for Sweden.
Every time I put on the blue and yellow shirt, I feel an enormous pride.
To now be able to represent the country with the bandage around my arm will be very big for me, says Nilsson Lindelöf according to the association's website.
