Football results
The UEFA European Championship is one of the major competitive international football tournaments, first played in 1960, whose finals stage has been held every four years, with the sixteenth staging of the competition occurring in 2021 (postponed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe ).
The Sweden men's national football team did not enter the competition until 1992, when it was the host nation of the tournament. After failing to qualify for Euro 1996, Sweden then qualified for six consecutive tournaments between the 2000 edition (played in Belgium and the Netherlands) and the 2020 edition (played across Europe), before missing out in 2024. The team's best performance has been reaching the semi-finals once — in 1992, losing to Germany 2–3 to finish with a bronze medal, Sweden's highest achievement up to date in the European Championship.
