Aussies are currently playing in two Nordic leagues, and Beyond 90 will be there to follow their progress each week!
Only Aussies ensconced in the top three teams enjoyed victories in the penultimate round – Round 25 – of the Damallsvenskan.
Ladder-topping BK Häcken was one of the two winners, defeating fourth-placed Djurgårdens IF 2-0 away from home. Aivi Luik played a full game for the victors but did not participate in her team’s midweek 10-0 trouncing of lower-tier Rosso Uddevalla in a Svenska Cup game.
Four points clear at the top of the Damallsvenskan, Luik’s team were declared winners of the 2025 competition and have secured a place in the Champions League!
The other winning Aussie was Malmö FF‘s Courtney Nevin, whose team recorded a convincing 4-0 away victory over fifth-placed Norrköping, featuring the services of Vesna Milivojević and Deborah-Anne de la Harpe. Malmö has tied up third place and has also guaranteed Champions League participation.
Nevin received a yellow card in her 79 minutes on the pitch, while De la Harpe and Milivojević were substituted in the 65th and 79th minutes, respectively, for the home side in their last home game of the season. The game was Norrköping’s second 4-0 loss in a row after an otherwise strong second half of the season.
Linköping will be relegated to the second tier of Swedish football despite a 2-2 home draw against sixth-placed Kristianstads. Polly Doran picked up a yellow card in her full game for Linköping, while the 63rd minute of the match saw Amy Sayer leaving the pitch and Remy Siemsen entering it for Kristianstads.
Daniela Galic provided the assist for seventh-placed Vittsjö GIK‘s only goal in their disappointing 2-1 home loss against tenth-placed Växjö, also earning a yellow card along the way.
Finally, 8th-placed AIK succumbed 3-0 away to IF Brommapojkarna, a team precariously perched just outside the relegation zone. AIK keeper Jada Whyman is still unavailable due to a knee injury.

A glimmer of hope has emerged for Kolbotn after recording their fifth win of the season in the penultimate round of the Toppserien, Round 26.
The 2-1 away win over third-last Bodø/Glimt means that a Kolbotn last-round win this weekend will have them contesting relegation playoffs instead of being automatically relegated, but only if second-last Røa loses.
To add to the intrigue, the bottom three sides of the league play the top three sides in the final round.
Kolbotn’s Football Ferns (Jacqui Hand, Olivia Chance, and Liz Anton) all played full games in the away win, with Anton and Chance recording vital assists. Hand picked up a 72nd-minute yellow card.

With the news that Nordsjælland captain Winonah Heatley has moved on, there are no longer any players in the Kvindeliga with an Aussie connection.
