"In general, things look good for our national team. The vast majority are in very good shape and we have fewer injury problems than at the same time last year. That is my general feeling," said Swedish head coach Kajsa Bergqvist, the world indoor high jump record-holder, who believes the final squad may contain between 50 and 60 athletes.
Among those pre-selected include world record-holder Armand Duplantis who will be aiming for his third successive European pole vault title in Rome and Daniel Stahl who will be looking to complete the set of major titles in the discus having won one Olympic and two world titles.
Other significant names to be pre-selected include Olympic discus medallist Simon Pettersson, the in-form Andreas Almgren in the 10,000m and multiple world and European medallist Perseus Karlstrom in the 20km race walk.
Reigning European U20 400m hurdles champion Moa Granat will also make her European Athletics Championships debut as a senior in Rome.
At the last European Athletics Championships in Munich 2022, Sweden won one gold medal and two silver medals. Duplantis retained his European pole vault title with a championship record clearance of 6.06m and Thobias Montler, who has also been pre-selected, and Karlstrom won silver medals in the long jump and 20km race walk respectively.
