All About the legend Hanna Ljungberg

Hanna Ljungberg – From Sunnanå SK to Umeå IK: A Västerbotten Legend

Two shirts, one icon.
Hanna Ljungberg began her journey at Sunnanå SK, where her talent shone brightly from an early age. In the colors of Umeå IK, she became an international star – full of class, strength, and a rare eye for goal.

This weekend, the Västerbotten derby brings the two clubs together again. No matter who wins, the memory of Hanna’s magic lives on – in every attack, every run, every dream of a young girl in northern Sweden.





"She walked in without a word, and still, hearts paused — as if even time held its breath for her."




Kindness in Football Cleats

Hanna Ljungberg is kindness in football cleats. Fierce with the ball, gentle with the soul.
She never needed to roar to be heard—her play spoke symphonies, her smile mended hearts.
Even at full speed, she carried a softness. Even in the heat of battle, she made space for grace.

She wasn’t just a striker. She was a presence.
Proof that greatness doesn’t have to come with ego. That brilliance can coexist with warmth.
Hanna gave us goals, but more than that—she gave us hope.
Some legends leave a trail of trophies. Hanna left something greater: a legacy of light.




👑 The Queen of Umeå.

Not because of the medals—though she had many.
But because of how she made us feel.
Joyful. Hopeful. Seen.

Hanna Ljungberg didn’t just wear a crown.
She earned it,with every run, every smile, every moment of magic.

Classic Ljungberg.

Arms raised, that unmistakable smile breaking wide open. Not just a goal. Not just a win. This is Hanna Ljungberg living. Showing us what football becomes when played by a heart that refuses to beat at half strength.

Her shirt clings to her, the night cold around the pitch—but she radiates. Because this is their club, their colours, their pride—Umeå. And for anyone who ever doubted whether gold suits warriors: take another look.

That gaze. That stance. The energy leaping off the frame.

Classic Ljungberg.




After the 2007 World Cup. Marta is at the top of the world. Everything is hers. And still… she chooses to stand next to Hanna.

Look into her eyes. That’s not just a smile. That’s respect. Admiration. Gratitude.
For her mentor. Her guide.
For the woman who never asked for the spotlight — but carried it within her.

Hanna needs no words. Marta knows.




 "Hanna Ljungberg is the greatest player in history.

If she were playing today, she wouldn’t just be able to play for Barcelona —

she’d be the star.

The highest-paid on the team.

And her shirt would break records in the shop."

Always There Jonna Andersson

She’s not the one whose name is on festival shirts. Not the one who goes viral after a backheel or a crunching tackle. No noise. No drama. But if you look closely, you’ll see it: Jonna is always there. Champion with Linköping, before Sweden fully realised they had someone who always delivered. Then came Chelsea, where the accent was different and the scepticism louder than the wind. “Another foreigner… is she really needed?” It was Everton. It was tough. But Hedvig saved a penalty. And Jonna— Jonna scored with minutes to spare. The stadium erupted. No more words needed. She won everything there was to win. FA Cup. FAWSL titles. No headlines, just medals. No soundbites, just applause from her team. And then— back to Sweden. Not to slow down. But to build something. Hammarby, sleeping giant in green, woke up again. First title since the ’90s. The double. A team full of belief. A crowd full of hope. And there was Jonna. Always there. I was there that day...

2 weken na de bekerfinale vrouwen alsnog consternatie

Afbeelding
 Twee weken later. Twee maten, één maatpak? De bekerfinale ligt intussen twee weken achter ons. Maar de echo blijft. Stefania Vatafu kreeg toen een rode kaart die achteraf geen schorsing opleverde. Een stille erkenning: de scheidsrechter zat fout. Toch werd net na diezelfde finale een verslag opgesteld door diezelfde scheidsrechter. En op basis daarvan kreeg Luna Vanzeir deze week wél een effectieve schorsing. Voor velen voelt dat krom. Inconsistent. Zelfs haar collega op het veld zei over de bewuste fase: "Dit is geen rood." Wat moet een speelster dan nog geloven? Wie leiding wil geven, moet ook vertrouwen opbouwen. En ja, respect voor de scheidsrechter blijft fundamenteel. Maar dat respect moet van twee kanten komen. Club YLA profiteert hier sportief van, maar valt niets te verwijten. De verantwoordelijkheid ligt elders — bij wie regels toepast, en bij wie ze opstelt. Het vrouwenvoetbal verdient duidelijke regels, empathie, en leiderschap met zelfinzicht. Niet een houding d...

Norrköping and Hammarby Set Up Svenska Cupen Final

Afbeelding
The final off the Svenska Cuppen will be Norrköping versus Hammarby. Two teams with very different histories, but both now knocking loudly at the door of silverware. For IFK Norrköping, their 2–1 victory over BK Häcken was nothing short of a statement. Once seen as newcomers just happy to survive in the Damallsvenskan, Norrköping have quietly built something serious. The addition of experienced defender Jessica Wik (formerly Samuelsson) over the winter raised a few eyebrows — and expectations. Svea Rehnberg opened the scoring in the first half, and Wilma Liedhammer doubled the lead after the break. Although Felicia Schröder pulled one back late on, it wasn’t enough. Norrköping are no longer just passengers in the top flight — they’re contenders. The other semi-final was a blockbuster: reigning champions FC Rosengård away to Hammarby, themselves league champions and cup winners two years ago. Form pointed toward Hammarby, but few could have predicted the sheer dominance: 5–0. A performa...
