Hosts Sweden eye historic breakthrough
Undefeated in group-stage wins over Denmark and Germany, Sweden enters its maiden medal round.

Reeling from a 41-14 loss to Austria, Finland must win decisively to overcome a -27 points differential. Coach Toni Uusitalo cited turnovers as decisive: “We gave up the ball too many times… The number of turnovers was decisive.”

Legacy and logistics: A path to glory
The clash hinges on Sweden’s offensive balance versus Finland’s defensive adjustments. A Sweden win cements their ascent in European youth football; Finland aims to reclaim past dominance through disciplined play.
