My Football story

I am  a Swedish professional football goalkeeper. I was born on the 29th of April 1983.

I previously played club football in Sweden for Damallsvenskan clubs including Malmö FF (loan IF Trion), Linköpings FC, Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC and Kristianstads DFF. I left Sweden 2015 for Chelsea FCW in the FAWSL in England, in 2019 I joined Vfl Wolfsburg in the German Frauen-Bundesliga and between July 2020 - June 2022 I was representing Atlético de Madrid in Liga Iberdrola in Spain. Right now I am back in my home country, Sweden, where I represented Djurgårdens IF between July 2022 - July 2023. After a long break, I was able to do a small come back in my former club, now called Eskilstuna united (previously Tunafors SK). I played seven games in Elitettan and got to end the career on a good note, feeling very thankful for the audience who showed me great respect in Eskilstuna.

Between the debut (2002) and the final game (2022) I have played 189 games for the Swedish Women’s national football team.

On 3rd August 2014 I played my 100th cap against England. On 17th September 2015 I played my 113th cap and I thereby broke Elisabeth Leidinge's record to become the most capped Swedish female goalkeeper.

On 24th October 2017 I broke the record in number of caps played by any goalkeeper in Sweden, male or female, when I played my 144th cap in a game against Hungary.

I have kept goal for Sweden at the UEFA Women’s Championship, the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the Olympic Games. Twelve times as a starting goalkeeper and three times as a back up keeper. That makes me one of the most experienced players of all time in Sweden and the world in terms of experience from international tournaments. I have also had experience from participating in the UEFA Women's Cup/UEFA Women's Champions League.

I have one World Cup silver, two World Cup bronzes, three bronze medals from the EURO and two Olympic silvers. I have won the Swedish Cup twice, the English FA WSL and the FA Cup twice, the double in Germany once and the Super Copa in Spain.

I was picked as the best female goalkeeper in Sweden ten times and as the best female football player two times.

In march 2018 I was voted for as the goalkeeper in the World 11, presented by FIFpro.
