Sweden are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Sweden were World Cup runners-up as hosts in 1958, losing the final 5-2 to Brazil after teenage Pelé scored twice. They also finished third in 1950 and 1994, while Euro 1992 brought a semi-final run capped by a 2-1 win over England in Stockholm.
