Jonna Ann-Charlotte Andersson (born 2 January 1993) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Swedish club Hammarby IF and the Sweden women's national football team.

Club career[edit]

Andersson signed for Linköpings FC in 2009 and made two league appearances in her first season as the club won the Damallsvenskan title. After three seasons where she was mainly a substitute, she became an important starting player of the team in the 2013 season.[2]

In December 2017, Andersson joined the FA WSL side Chelsea.[3] In 2019, she renewed her contract until 2022.[4] With Chelsea, Andersson won three consecutive Women's Super League titles, in 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22. The 2020 WSL title was given to Chelsea on a points-per-game basis after the league was stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

On 5 April 2022, Andersson confirmed she would return to Damallsvenskan, signing a two-and-a-half year contract with Hammarby IF. The transfer came to effect in August when the Swedish transfer window opened.[6]

International career[edit]

As a Sweden under-19 international, Andersson featured at the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Turkey.[7] Sweden won the tournament by beating Spain 1–0 in the final after extra time.[8]

Senior team coach Pia Sundhage called up Andersson for the first time in January 2016 for a friendly against Scotland, as a replacement for Amanda Ilestedt who had a back injury. She played at left-back as the Scots were defeated 6–0 at Prioritet Serneke Arena.[9] Andersson retained her place in the squad for the 2016 UEFA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[10]

On 13 June 2023, she was included in Sweden's 23-player squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[11]
