Försvararna

Försvararna is the definite plural form in Swedish of the noun försvarare, meaning the defenders. The term is used in several contexts to describe people or groups who defend something—such as a country, a value, a position—or, in a legal setting, the defense attorneys representing a person in court. The word derives from försvara (to defend) with a suffix that denotes an agent and the definite plural ending -na.

In military and security contexts, försvararna can refer to defenders of a location or nation, including units or personnel assigned to protection or territorial defense. In sports, the term can be used informally to refer to players in defensive positions or a group of defenders within a team, such as the back line in football or the defensive corps in hockey.

In legal usage, försvararna denotes the defense attorneys. In a courtroom, the term can refer collectively to the lawyers acting on behalf of the accused, as in “försvararna argumenterade” (the defense lawyers argued).

In Swedish culture and media, the phrase has appeared as a title or label for works and organizations related to defense or advocacy. Because the term is general and context-dependent, identifying a single, specific entity named Försvararna requires additional information about the field, time period, or location in question.
