I've heard some of those mentions by TV broadcasters about Bradley recruiting Scandinavia.
For the record, the broadcasters who mention Bradley's recruiting in Scandinavia, don't know their geography.
The historical definition of Scandinavia refers to the countries of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. I don't think Bradley has ever recruited anyone from those 3 countries. - https://www.mappr.co/thematic-maps/s...ian-countries/
Some definitions of Scandinavia might include the northern part of Finland that is part of the Scandinavian peninsula (see below), but the only Bradley recruit from Finland was Ville, who was not from that part of the country. He was from Helsinki in the far southern tip of the country.
The Netherlands has never been considered a Scandinavian country.

That is why I said "the historical definition". You can find some different variations of what people mean by Scandinavia now.
But even the Encyclopedia Brittanica, which you cited, defines it as Norway, Sweden, and Denmark - https://www.britannica.com/place/Scandinavia
And, btw, that map I posted above came directly from the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
