(Stockholm) Coaches Kim Langeborg and Tobias Kindblom, both of whom have had international experience with Team Sweden as players, have selected a 23-man team that will compete for Sweden in the 2014 FIL World Lacrosse Championship.
Head Coach Langeborg said “We are really proud of all the guys that have fought for a final spot on the roster. The past six months, seeing all the players and making the tough decisions when trimming the roster from 46 to the final 23 players has been very hard, but also makes us very proud of the growth and accomplishments that Sweden lacrosse has undertaken the past years. We are really looking forward to working with this team leading up to Denver. “
The Swedish National team features players from the eight Swedish programs, including a number of returning players from the 2010 World championships and the 2012 European Championships in which Sweden captured the Bronze Medal. This year’s team will consists of experience and youth. Team Sweden will travel to Colorado on July 5th to begin final training camp before the tournament begins on July 11th.
