Sweden Advances to Quarterfinals at European Table Tennis Championships 2025

Both Sweden's men's and women's table tennis teams have secured their spots in the quarterfinals of the 2025 European Team Championships held in Croatia. The women's team achieved a commanding 3-0 victory over Spain in the round of 16. Linda Bergström, ranked 10th in Europe, initiated the win with a straight-sets defeat of Maria Xiao (12-10, 11-5, 11-7), setting a positive tone for Sweden. Stina Källberg continued with a convincing 3-0 win against Sofia-Xuan Zhang, emphasizing her mental composure throughout the match. Filippa Bergand clinched the decisive victory in a tightly contested five-set match against Elvira Rad (11-8, 8-11, 11-4, 7-11, 11-9), though she expressed dissatisfaction with her own performance despite the win. The women's team is now preparing to face the second-seeded German team in the quarterfinals—a challenging encounter acknowledged by Bergand, who remains optimistic about Sweden’s medal aspirations.

On the men's side, the reigning European champions faced Poland in the round of 16 without star player Truls Möregårdh, sidelined due to injury. Anton Källberg, currently ranked seventh in Europe, stepped up as the leading player, winning both his matches and helping Sweden secure a 3-1 victory. The men will meet Romania in their quarterfinal match. Both Sweden's quarterfinal contests will be broadcast live on SVT Play, with commentary by Chris Härenstam, showcasing the nation’s strong pursuit of European titles in table tennis.
