Japan vs Sweden: Full list of substitutes for FIFA World Cup 2026 match

The Samurai Blue have never secured a win against the Blågult.

For their third group stage game, the Japan national football team are going to battle it out against the Sweden national football team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This clash takes place at the Dallas Stadium.

The Hajime Moriyasu-led side put up a strong performance in their opening fixture of the mega competition against the Netherlands and secured a 2-2 draw. In their second contest, they came out on top to secure a 4-0 win against Tunisia. This dominant effort will keep them confident going into their final group stage contest. They cannot afford to face a defeat and a win will directly seal their spot in the knockout stage of the flagship tournament.

The Blågult are coming in after facing a thumping 1-5 loss against the Dutch in their previous group stage game of the FIFA World Cup 2026. It was a poor performance by Graham Potter’s men. They are going to be under pressure for their next one. The Sweden national football team will be pushing for a win here. It is going to help them secure a berth in the round of 32. A loss will only make things complicated for them.
