Sweden surprised everyone by qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. While known for its football heritage, its participation in this tournament was not guaranteed.

Jon Dahl Tomasson’s final game managing the Sweden national team was a 1-0 defeat to Kosovo in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on October 13, 2025, at Nya Ullevi in Gothenburg.

After 22 years of waiting and multiple seasons of second-place heartbreak, Arsenal are finally Premier League champions again, with a game to spare. Backed by a tremendous defence, set-piece dominance and a stronger squad than in the previous unsuccessful challenges, the Gunners can now head to the Champions League final in Budapest with one coveted trophy already secured.
