A Calculated Risk: The Move to Olympique Lyonnais

In the summer of 2008, Lotta Schelin made a bold decision that would shape the trajectory of her career. She left her native Sweden to join Olympique Lyonnais (OL) at a time when French clubs were not yet considered major contenders on the European stage. However, OL had an ambitious project, and Schelin quickly became the centerpiece of their growing dominance. Her move proved to be pivotal not only for her career but also for OL’s rise to becoming one of the most feared teams in women’s football.

During her time at OL, Schelin’s relentless pursuit of goals was unmatched. She led the team to three UEFA Women’s Champions League titles and eight consecutive French league titles, solidifying OL’s place among Europe’s elite. Schelin’s ability to consistently find the back of the net, combined with her intelligent movement and finishing prowess, made her a nightmare for defenders and a key figure in OL’s success.

International Glory with Sweden

Beyond her club success, Schelin was also a force on the international stage. She retired as Sweden’s all-time top scorer, leaving an indelible mark on the country’s football history. One of her most notable international achievements came during the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup™, where she played a pivotal role in helping Sweden secure a third-place finish. Her leadership and ability to perform in big moments were crucial as Sweden proved themselves to be one of the world’s top teams.

Schelin’s versatility as a forward, combining power, precision, and football intelligence, made her a true leader on the field and an inspiration for future generations of Swedish footballers.
