FIFA has released a video compilation featuring every World Cup goal scored by Swedish forward Henrik Larsson [1].
The collection serves as a retrospective of one of Sweden's most prolific attackers. By aggregating these moments, the footage highlights Larsson's longevity and consistency on the global stage across multiple decades.
Larsson found the net in three [1] different World Cup editions. The compilation covers goals scored during the tournaments held in 1994, 2002, and 2006 [1]. These events took place in the U.S., South Korea and Japan, and Germany [1].
The footage captures the evolution of the forward's game—from his early contributions in the 1994 tournament to his veteran presence in 2006 [1]. Each clip documents the specific tactical plays and finishes that defined his international career for Sweden.
Because the video is an official FIFA production, it provides a verified record of the player's scoring history. The clips allow fans to relive the specific moments Larsson contributed to the Swedish national team's efforts in the world's most prestigious football competition [1].
The availability of such archives helps preserve the legacy of Swedish football. Larsson remains a central figure in the history of the sport in his home country, and these visuals reinforce his status as a premier striker of his era [1].
