Sweden got off to a good start in the World Cup qualifiers when they shocked Finland and won 72-62.

You were in the lead all the time, and when you pulled away you could relax.

When they faced the big team Slovenia a few days later, it became far too difficult.

This despite the fact that they were close to defeating Slovenia.

It was a loss with 94-89.

Largest audience figure in the world

When they received Finland and defeated them in the Avicii Arena on Thursday, 10,218 spectators watched the match.

According to the Swedish Basketball Association, it is the best audience figure in the world in the first World Cup qualifying round.
