Sweden will be aiming to make the most of their unique qualification when they play Tunisia in Monday's tournament opener.
The Swedes became the first side in history to reach a World Cup despite finishing bottom of their group without a victory, after their Nations League efforts earned them a place in the play-offs.
Graham Potter then helped Sweden make the most of that opportunity as they overcame Ukraine and Poland to secure a 13th appearance on the world stage.
In contrast, Tunisia won nine out of their 10 qualifiers to comfortably make it through to this summer's tournament.
Sweden v Tunisia will be available to watch live in the UK on ITV 1 and STV.
Eligible customers in the UK, Ireland, Greece, Netherlands and Australia will also be able to bet on and watch the World Cup at bet365.
Sweden v Tunisia will be played at the Monterrey Stadium and kick-off is at 03:00 BST on Monday 15th June.
