The Swedish national soccer team will make a historic return to Wembley Stadium, 35 years after Pia Sundhage became the first woman to score in an official international match at the iconic venue. In May 1989, Sweden's women's national team played a friendly against England at the old National Stadium, with Sundhage and Lena Videkull securing a 2-0 victory in front of 3,150 spectators. Despite facing challenges like inadequate facilities and limited practice time, the match marked a significant moment for women's football.
Fast forward to the present day, Sweden is set to face England in the UEFA Women's Nations League group stage, seeking redemption after a 4-0 defeat in the last European Championship semi-final. The Swedish team, known for their consistent performance in major competitions, aims to secure a spot in the UEFA Women's Euro next summer in Switzerland.
