Sweden to face England in stadium opener

Sweden will face England in their first game at their new national stadium upon completion next year, according to BBC Sport.

The friendly at the 50,000 capacity Stockholm arena will take place in November.

The fixture has reportedly been agreed as part of a deal which sees the Scandinavian side visit Wembley on Tuesday.

England, who have not beaten Sweden in 12 games dating back to 1968, were also the first opponents at Sweden's current stadium, the Rasunda, in 1937.
