Japan and Sweden meet in their 2026 FIFA World Cup final group stage match on Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET from Dallas Stadium.
Japan drew 2–2 against the Netherlands in their first match and beat Tunisia 4–0 in their second match, with Daichi Kamada and Ayase Ueda each scoring twice in the two matches. Sweden beat Tunisia 5–1 in their opening match and lost to the Netherlands 1–5 in their second match, with Yasin Ayari scoring twice so far in the tournament.
What is at stake
There is a lot at stake for Japan and Sweden when the two teams meet on Thursday at the Dallas Stadium in Group F. Japan enter the match on four points, while Sweden have three points. The winner of this game is guaranteed a place in the knockout stages, and possibly even the group title depending on how the Netherlands (also on four points) fare against Tunisia.
Japan go into this match as the deserved favorites and could win the group if they defeat Sweden and the Dutch stumble. Even if both teams win, Japan can win Group F if its margin of victory is greater than the margin of the Netherlands.
