Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be set to play for Sweden at the 2016 Olympics after a late equaliser against Portugal in the Under-21 European Championship on Wednesday guaranteed the Scandinavians their place in Rio. Simon Tibbling’s 89th-minute strike earned the Swedes a 1-1 draw, a result which sent both sides to the semi-finals as well as securing their Olympic places. Each team can choose three over-age players in their 18-man Olympic squads, and Ibrahimovic said: “If I have the chance to represent my Sweden at an Olympics, why not? We’ll have to see how the situation is… but if I’m available, absolutely.”
