Former captain of the Swedish women's team, Nilla Fischer, says that players had to show their genitalia for the 2011 Women's World Cup. This request was made by FIFA, after accusations against three Equatorial Guinea players of being men by opposing teams. Fischer recalls the discomfort and humiliation experienced by the Swedish players. However, the desire to compete in the World Cup overshadowed their objections, leading them to reluctantly comply with the request. Mats Borjesson, the Sweden team doctor at the time said that gender verification testing was a routine procedure to ensure fair competition. FIFA has responded to Fischer's comments, acknowledging the issue of gender verification testing conducted by the Swedish team in 2011. They clarified that while additional tests were required, they did not specifically instruct nations to conduct physical examinations. The Swedish Federation conducted the physical examinations independently.
