Yesterday Sweden's national football team played their first game (versus England) at Sweden's new football national stadium. The Stadium is called Friend's arena (named after a charity organisation) and seats 54 000 spectators. It is located in the suburb of Solna, just outside the capital city of Stockholm. The stadium took three years to build and cost over 3 billion Swedish Kronor (approx. $ 420 000 000).

Sweden won the game 4-2 after four goals scored by a certain Zlatan ibrahimovic.
