History
In 2005, an unofficial Sweden national team played a mini-tournament in Tehran against Iran and Japan.[4] The games were sanctioned by FIFA, but the Swedish Football Association (SvFF) has not recognized these games as official. The unofficial national team has also played matches against Catalonia, which were sanctioned by the rival of FIFA, Asociación Mundial de Fútbol de Salón (AMF). In 2010, SvFF started a two-year-long process to boot a national team. Per Broberg was hired as coach, and on 11 December 2012, an official Sweden national team played their first game in front of their home crowd in the Lisebergshallen against France in Gothenburg which they lost 2–3.[5]
