The Portuguese community in the country has experienced considerable growth, especially after Brexit. Portuguese emigrants are in fact leaving the United Kingdom for Nordic countries: most of them are highly qualified and aged between 20 and 40, looking for better quality of life and economic stability.[3] The influx of Portuguese migrants towards the country is steadily increasing and there are 5 Portuguese associations in the country.[4][5][6][7] Both countries are EU members.

Footballers

[edit]

In recent years many Portuguese international footballers have moved to Sweden to play for Swedish clubs. In 2023 these included: Ieltsin Camões (IK Brage), Filipe Sissé (Varbergs BoIS), Mamadu Djau (Örebro), Luís Canina (IFK Luleå) and Kevin Cerqueira (BK Häcken).[8][9][10][11][12][13]

Remittances

[edit]

The Portuguese community in Sweden retains strong ties with its homeland and, between 2000 and 2021, it has sent about 162.5 million euros () to Portugal in remittances. In the same timeframe, Swedes in Portugal (numbering around 5,700 individuals)[14] have sent approximately 19.81 million euros to Sweden.[15]

the Portuguese are part of a wider Portuguese-speaking community in Sweden, comprising around 1,920 people from PALOP countries (the majority being from Angola or from Cape Verde), Timor-Leste and Macau and around 20,000 Brazilians.[16][17]

People from CPLP countries thus number around 27,000 accounting for 0.25% of the population of Sweden.[18]

The immigrant community of people coming from CPLP countries in Sweden is the largest found among the Nordic countries: in Finland there are a little more than 5,000 CPLP nationals (0.09% of the country's population),[19][20]inDenmark there are around 11,000 CPLP nationals (0.19% of the country's population)[21][22][23] while in Iceland there are around 2,000 CPLP nationals (0.52% of the country's population),[24][25][26][27][28] and in Norway there are around 25,300 CPLP nationals (0.38% of the population).[29][30][31][32]
