Sweden's World Cup squad is set, and it's bringing some serious firepower between the posts. Head coach Graham Potter has officially named Derby County's Jacob Widell Zetterstrom and Stoke City's Viktor Johansson to the roster for the upcoming tournament in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The dynamic duo joins current number one Kristoffer Nordfeldt, giving Sweden a formidable trio of goalkeepers as they prepare for the world's biggest stage. For Zetterstrom, this call-up is the cherry on top of a standout season with the Rams. The two-cap international logged 32 appearances for Derby, helping the club secure an eighth-place finish in the Championship—just narrowly missing the play-off spots.
Meanwhile, Johansson's journey to the squad has been one of resilience. The 12-cap shot-stopper signed a new four-year contract with Stoke City on May 1, but the 2026 season has largely been a battle back from shoulder surgery. He made his return count, though, stepping back onto the pitch for Stoke's season finale against Bristol City.
Sweden punched their ticket to the World Cup with gritty play-off victories over Ukraine and Poland. They'll kick off their campaign with a blockbuster opener against Mexico in Monterrey on Monday, June 15. But the squad's strength doesn't stop at the goalkeeper position. Potter has loaded up with attacking talent, including Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres and Liverpool forward Alexander Isak. The defensive line is bolstered by Leeds' Gabriel Gudmundsson and Aston Villa's Victor Lindelof, while the midfield features Brighton's Yasin Ayari and Tottenham Hotspur's Lucas Bergvall. Newcastle United winger Anthony Elanga rounds out a squad that's ready to make noise on the global stage.
