Emilia Elisabeth Appelqvist (born 11 February 1990) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Damallsvenskan team Djurgårdens IF. She joined previous club Piteå IF for the 2014 season, having been on loan from Tyresö FF for the second part of the 2013 season. She has also played top level club football for Bälinge IF and AIK.[3] Appelqvist made her debut for the Sweden women's national football team in February 2014.
Club career
Appelqvist, a defensive central midfielder,[4] began her senior career with local team Bälinge IF. In October 2007, at the age of 17, she was given a four-year contract with the club and was described by the coach as a future national team player.[5]
Appelqvist spent three seasons with Bälinge before their relegation from the Damallsvenskan in 2008. Ahead of the 2009 season, she rejected an offer from Tyresö FF and joined AIK instead. When AIK suffered relegation in 2010, a disappointed Appelqvist moved to Tyresö explaining that she had to keep playing Damallsvenskan football to be considered for the national team.[6]
Tyresö won the Damallsvenskan title for the first time in the 2012 season and Appelqvist collected her first league winner's medal.[7] With competition for places increasingly fierce at Tyresö, Appelqvist moved to Piteå on loan during the 2013 mid-season break.[8][9]
In November 2013 Appelqvist made her transfer to Piteå permanent, despite reported interest from other clubs.[10] After helping Piteå to a third-place finish in 2015, she left for Djurgårdens IF, explaining that the social aspect of living back in Stockholm had attracted her.[11]
International career
As a Swedish under-19 international, Appelqvist played the 2009 U-19 European Championship[12][13] where she was chosen one of the Top 10 players by UEFA.com[14] as well as the 2010 U-20 World Cup,[15][16] serving as the team's captain.[17] At the latter competition Appelqvist played every minute of Sweden's campaign, which ended with a 2–0 defeat to Colombia in the quarter-final.[18]
In February 2010, Appelqvist and Antonia Göransson were called up to train with the senior national team for the Algarve Cup.[19] As of June 2013, Appelqvist had 11 caps for Sweden at the Under-23 level.[20] National coach Pia Sundhage called Appelqvist up to a senior team training camp at Bosön in November 2013.[21]
Appelqvist made her debut for the senior Sweden team in a 3–0 friendly defeat by France in Amiens on 8 February 2014.[22] In May 2015, Appelqvist and Piteå team-mate Hilda Carlén were both confirmed in Sweden's squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[23]
On 8 April 2016 she scored her first goal for the Swedish national senior team, scoring 1-0 as Sweden defeated Slovakia, 3-0, in Poprad during a qualifying game for the 2017 European Championship in the Netherlands.[24]
