Sweden coach Jan Andersson confirmed: "Victor was the natural choice.

"He has shown time and again how important he is to us on and off the pitch. I think he had an incomparable tournament (Euro 2020) and has the leadership qualities necessary to be captain."

Lindelof succeeds Andreas Granqvist, who retired after the Euros.
