Sweden’s Women’s European Championship 2022 Group: The Netherlands
July 9th
Sweden’s first group game match will probably be their trickiest, against the Netherlands. The Netherlands is currently the holder of the European Championship, having won it at home already in 2017. However, manager Sarina Wiegman has been hired by England so they will be led into the tournament by former Portland Thorns boss Mark Parsons.
Despite the change of boss, the Dutch side is full of attacking talent. Vivianne Miedema has played a slightly different role for Arsenal this season but is still an unstoppable goal scorer. At the same time, Lieke Martens has missed a large part of the season for Barcelona, but the Netherlands hopes that she can find her condition before July, after being named “Tournament player” at the European Championships 2017. The Dutch side’s biggest boost will have come with Lyons midfielder Damaris Egurrola betting on them, even though he is qualified to play for Spain and the USA.

There are a number of talented players in the Swiss squad, including Barcelona’s Ana-Maria Crnogorčević, Paris Saint-Germain’s Ramona Bachmann and Arsenal’s Lia Wälti. At the same time, young forward Alisha Lehmann is always a threat in one-on-one situations due to her ability on the ball.
