Sweden's World Cup preparations are taking shape at a luxury hotel complex hidden behind office buildings north of Dallas, where meticulous planning is underway to create the perfect environment for the national team.
The beige hotel, surrounded by magnolia trees and featuring double golf courses, will dedicate half of its 300 rooms to the Swedish squad and is preparing for a potential stay extending into July.
"It was literally the day after Sweden qualified for the World Cup that their staff came here," hotel manager Ryan B Bunker told Expressen. "We're very used to football teams and meeting the needs and demands they have."
The facility already hosts 90 percent of MLS teams when they play Dallas, but FIFA began preparations a full year in advance for this World Cup. Conference rooms are being converted into specialized training and recovery spaces, with private dining areas ensuring complete separation from other hotel guests.
"The logistics around Sweden are next level, but we're used to it," Bunker explained. "Making sure the team's private sphere is respected is very important to us."
Players will have access to both indoor and outdoor golf facilities, while detailed floor plans are being drawn up for meeting rooms and dining arrangements. With rooms costing around 3,500 kronor per night, the hotel is clearly hoping for a deep Swedish World Cup run.
