List of foreign Damallsvenskan players

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This is a list of foreign players in Damallsvenskan, which commenced play in 1988. The following players must meet both of the following two criteria:

  1. have played at least one Damallsvenskan game. Players who were signed by Damallsvenskan clubs, but only played in lower league, cup and/or European games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included.
  2. are considered foreign, determined by the following:
A player is considered foreign if she is not eligible to play for Sweden women's national football team.

More specifically,

  • If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used; if she has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used.
  • If a player has not been capped on international level, her country of birth is used, except those who were born abroad from Swedish parents or moved to Sweden at a young age, and those who clearly indicated to have switched her nationality to another nation.

The list is organized alphabetically first by country, then by player's name (surname and first name). Clubs listed are those which the player has played at least one Damallsvenskan game for.

In bold: players who have played at least one Damallsvenskan game in the most recent season (2023 Damallsvenskan), and are still at the clubs for which they have played. This does not include current players of an Damallsvenskan club who have not played an Damallsvenskan game in the current season.

Up to that point they have played 7 matches (which were later cancelled by the Swedish Football Association). As these 7 matches effectively took place and match reports exist, players involved are considered in this list.
