Sweden made a powerful start to their FIFA World Cup 2026 journey with a convincing 5–1 victory over Tunisia in their opening Group F match.

Sweden took control early in the game, scoring first and maintaining constant pressure with fast attacking play. Their forward line looked sharp and efficient, creating multiple chances and converting key opportunities throughout the match.

Tunisia struggled to keep pace with Sweden’s intensity and defensive organization. Although they managed to score once in the first half, they were unable to mount a sustained comeback against a disciplined Swedish side.

The second half saw Sweden extend their lead with continued dominance in possession and attacking transitions. Late goals sealed a comfortable win, giving them a strong goal difference advantage in the group standings.

With this result, Sweden move to the top of Group F and gain early momentum in their World Cup campaign, while Tunisia will need to regroup quickly for their upcoming fixtures.
