The Legacy
Adidas provided the matchwear for Sweden at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. Manager Georg Ericson selected an experienced side for the group stage tournament, with Björn Nordqvist captaining the team from defence. Goalkeeper Ronnie Hellström remained a reliable presence behind a backline that faced stiff competition against Brazil, Austria, and Spain. Despite their defensive organisation, Sweden finished bottom of their group and failed to progress to the second round.
