Carl Starfelt is a no-nonsense central defender who won back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles with Celtic before joining Celta Vigo in 2023, where he has established himself as a regular starter in La Liga. Strong in the air and aggressive in the tackle, he is the more combative complement to the technical Victor Lindelöf in Sweden's central defence. His experience across Scotland and Spain gives him a broad defensive education, and at 31 he is at the peak of his powers. Sweden's defensive solidity at this tournament will lean heavily on his physicality and organisational presence.
