Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Sweden and Romania meet on Friday, September 25, at Strawberry Arena in Solna to open their campaigns in League B, Group 4 of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. The group also contains Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with all four teams beginning the league phase on equal footing.
UEFA‘s schedule has Sweden following this game with another home fixture against Poland on September 28, while Romania hosts Bosnia and Herzegovina on the same day.

There is an important promotion storyline behind the matchup. Both Sweden and Romania were promoted from League C after the previous Nations League edition, and UEFA identifies both nations among the teams looking to continue their upward trajectory in the competition. Sweden won League C Group 1, while Romania topped League C Group 2.
The Nations League format makes the opening results particularly relevant. The winner of each League B group earns automatic promotion to League A, while the runners-up enter promotion play-offs against League A teams.
At the other end of the table, fourth place leads to a relegation play-off against a League C runner-up. With six group matches scheduled, Sweden and Romania therefore have a direct opportunity to start building their promotion campaigns from the first night.
