The worst attendance figure to date was recorded in 2019 when an already European Championship-ready Sweden met the Faroe Islands in front of 19,737 spectators.

Now, with a week to play, the number is up to 17,000.

- I can understand after the results in June that it doesn't attract as much and that the Nations League is still a tournament that people don't really have a clue about, to be honest, compared to a WC or EC qualifier, he tells Aftonbladet.

Sweden has played a total of 49 international matches at the national arena.

The November/December FIFA World Cup in Qatar will be played without the men's national team after they failed to qualify.

A championship that SVT broadcasts.
