Iva Landeka (born 3 October 1989) is a Croatian football midfielder currently playing for FC Rosengård of the Swedish Damallsvenskan. From 2012 until 2016 she played for USV Jena of the German Bundesliga.[1] She previously played for Dinamo Maksimir in the Croatian 1st Division, FC Kärnten in the Austrian Frauenliga and Unia Racibórz in the Polish Ekstraliga, also playing the Champions League with Dinamo and Unia.[2] She is a member of the Croatian national team since 2006.[3]
Early life
Landeka was born in the town of Posušje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia. She left for Zagreb when she was 14 years old, to pursue her football career.[4] Her brother Davor and her cousin Josip became less successful footballers, currently playing for Široki Brijeg and Sonnenhof Großaspach, respectively.
Club career
In August 2016, Swedish champions FC Rosengård announced that they had agreed to sign Landeka from USV Jena on a two-year contract. Rosengård's sporting director Therese Sjögran said that Landeka was not intended as a direct replacement for the outgoing Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir, who was a more defensive midfielder.[5]
