Graham Potter is on track to secure Sweden's first World Cup victory since 2018, ending a more than five-year drought for the nation.
The win, which appears imminent, would mark a significant turnaround after Sweden last tasted success in the global competition back in 2018. Since then, the country has gone without a World Cup win across any edition, making the upcoming result a milestone.
The drought since 2018
Sweden's last World Cup win took place in 2018. Since that year, the nation has failed to record another victory in the tournament. The long gap has made the prospect of a new win all the more notable, and Potter is widely credited with orchestrating the breakthrough.
Potter's role
Details on how Potter has engineered this victory remain scarce. What is known is that he is the figure behind the effort, and the win is now a near-certainty. The specifics of the competition or the opponent are not yet public, but the result itself is clear.
The victory is expected to be celebrated as a major achievement for Swedish sports, breaking a losing streak that stretched back half a decade. All eyes will be on Potter as the win is finalized.
