Opposed Saturday to Australia in the small final of the 2023 World Cup, the Swedes will not be welcomed as queens on their return to the country. Nothing to do with their elimination in the semi-finals, the reason given by the Swedish federation is much more serious: the risk of a terrorist attack. Since a Koran was burned in front of the Swedish Parliament on July 31, several terrorist groups have indeed called for attacks on the country.
In the event of a medal, the party was planned in Stockholm, at the Kungsträdgarden. “We have not set a date for the eventual celebration. We will come back to this when and if it becomes relevant. », said the federation’s Petra Thoren. Note that the United States and the United Kingdom have advised their inhabitants not to travel to Sweden, where the terrorist alert level has been raised to 4 on a scale of 5.
