## Club career

Ilestedt started playing football in her birthplace with the local Sölvesborgs GIF and moved up to their first team in 2006. After one season, she signed with Karlskrona FF in 2007. In 2009 she moved to LdB FC Malmö, initially playing for the B team.[2] She broke into the [Damallsvenskan](/source/Damallsvenskan) side in 2010, playing ten league games and winning the championship.

In August 2011, she moved on loan to the second division club [Vittsjö GIK](/source/Vittsj%C3%B6_GIK).[3] After one season, she moved back to LdB FC Malmö, which changed their name to [FC Rosengård](/source/FC_Roseng%C3%A5rd) in 2013. Rosengård reached the quarter-finals of the [2014–15 Champions League](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League), in which she met defending champions [VfL Wolfsburg](/source/VfL_Wolfsburg_(women)). After the 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg and the 3-3 draw in the second leg, she and her team were eliminated from the competition due to the away goals rule. Ilestedt played over ninety minutes in all six games.

In June 2017, Ilestedt joined German club [Turbine Potsdam](/source/1._FFC_Turbine_Potsdam) on a two-year deal.[4] In May 2019, she moved to fellow German side [Bayern Munich](/source/FC_Bayern_Munich_(women)), signing a contract until June 2021.[5] She made her debut for Bayern on 17 August 2019, first matchday, in the 3-1 away win against [SC Freiburg](/source/SC_Freiburg_(women)).

Ilestedt made her debut for the senior [Sweden](/source/Sweden_women's_national_football_team) team in a 4–1 win over [England](/source/England_women's_national_football_team) in a European Championship preparation game on 4 July 2013. [Coach](/source/Coach_(sport)) [Pia Sundhage](/source/Pia_Sundhage) named Ilestedt in the Sweden squad for [Euro 2013](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2013).[15] In May 2015 she was nominated for the [2015 World Cup](/source/2015_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup).

As group runners-up, they reached the knockout stages, where she came on as a 66th-minute substitute against the German team in the quarter-finals. The Swedes won another competitive match against Germany after 24 years, thereby qualifying for the [2020 Olympic Football Tournament](/source/Football_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament). Her third appearance was in the 3rd place match against the [England national team](/source/England_women's_national_football_team), which was won 2–1 by coming on as a substitute after 72 minutes.

In the successful [qualification for Euro 2022](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2022_qualifying), she was used five times, scoring two goals.

She was nominated for the national team squad for the Olympic Football Tournament to be held in Japan from 21 July to 7 August 2021.[18][19] During the games, she was used in all games, making one and one substitution. In the end, the Swedes won the silver medal.

For the successful [qualification for the 2023 World Cup](/source/2023_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup_qualification), she was always nominated and played six times, always playing full time and scoring two goals. She was used in her team's five games at the finals of the [European Championship](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2022) in England, which was also postponed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With a 4–0 defeat against hosts England, the Swedes were eliminated in the semi-finals.

On 23 July 2023, Ilestedt was included in the 23-player squad for the [2023 World Cup](/source/FIFA_Women's_World_Cup_2023).[20] Her late goal gave Sweden the win in their opening match against [South Africa](/source/South_Africa_women's_national_soccer_team). It was her first goal at a World Cup.[21] On 29 July 2023 she scored 2 goals in their 2nd group stage match against Italy. She scored her 4th goal of the World Cup on 11 August 2023 in the quarter-final win against Japan. She was her country's top scorer in the tournament, and one goal behind Golden Boot winner [Hinata Miyazawa](/source/Hinata_Miyazawa).[22]

## Style of play

Ilestedt is renowned for her [heading](/source/Header_(association_football)) technique.[23] Three of her four 2023 World Cup goals were headers.[24] In the Arsenal fan song it reads: "It's Amanda Ilestedt - Better in the air than [Ryanair](/source/Ryanair) or [Easyjet](/source/Easyjet)."[25]
