In the League of Nations League "tre krunur" also showed a weak level of play. The Swedes got only 4 points and were relegated to the C League, losing to Slovenia by 2 points. In 2023, the team managed to hold 2 friendly meetings, in which they defeated Finland (2:0) and Iceland (2:1).

Having defeated Canada with a minimum score in the first game (1-0), the Belgians lost to Morocco (0:2), after which they drew with Croatia (0:0), after which they went home in the midst of the tournament.
