Louise Anneli Fors (born 23 October 1989) is a Swedish football midfielder, currently playing for Swedish club Älta IF on loan from Liverpool of England's FA WSL.[3]

She has also played for Linköping FC in Sweden's Damallsvenskan,[4][5] Hammarby IF, AIK, Western Sydney Wanderers FC in Australia's W-League, and RCD Espanyol in Spain's Superliga Femenina.[6][7]

She has been a member of the Swedish national team since her debut against Romania in September 2008,[8] and played the 2009 European Championship.[9] She subsequently took part in the 2011 World Cup qualifying,[10] but was not called for the final tournament.

Nicknamed Lollo, she signed a two-year extension to her Linköpings contract in October 2011.[11]

On 12 December 2012 it was announced that Fors had signed a contract with Liverpool. On 29 September 2013, in the end-of-season decider 2–0 win against Bristol, Fors scored Liverpool's first goal from the penalty spot and helped LFC Ladies clinch their first FA Women's Super League title.[12] Fors departed Liverpool on loan in January 2014, to play for Älta IF of the Elitettan. The decision was related to the planning of her wedding. She intended to return to the Reds for their UEFA Women's Champions League campaign in 2014–15.[13]
