**Jennifer Miley Falk** (born 26 April 1993) is a Swedish professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a goalkeeper for [Women's Super League](/source/Women's_Super_League) club [Liverpool](/source/Liverpool_W.F.C.), on loan from [Damallsvenskan](/source/Damallsvenskan) club [BK Häcken](/source/BK_H%C3%A4cken_FF),[3] and the [Sweden national team](/source/Sweden_women's_national_football_team).

## Club career

Falk played six league games for [Torslanda IK](/source/Torslanda_IK) in the fourth Swedish women's league ([Division 2](/source/Division_2_(Swedish_women's_football)) Norra Götaland) in 2010.[4] After eleven appearances in the third division (Division 1 Norra Götaland) in the 2013 season, she moved to the first division team [Jitex BK](/source/Jitex_BK).[4] As third to last, relegation was avoided, but this followed in the next season. Falk then moved to promoted team [Mallbackens IF](/source/Mallbackens_IF), for whom in the 2015 season she played all 22 games and helped narrowly escape relegation as third from bottom.[4]

From 2016 she played for [Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC](/source/BK_H%C3%A4cken_FF), which was renamed to BK Häcken FF in 2021.[4] In her first season she finished fifth with the club and had 15 appearances, more than the other keepers. For the 2017 season, three new goalkeepers were added and Falk only had six appearances. In 2018 Falk had six appearances again. In 2019 Falk was in goal in the cup final and secured first place. In 2020 Falk played all 22 league games, kept 14 clean sheets and thus played a part in the club's first championship.[5] In November 2020 she was awarded player of the month.[6]

In the [2021–22 Champions League](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League) she reached the qualifying final against [Vålerenga](/source/V%C3%A5lerenga_Fotball_Damer) after two wins. Here they were only able to win the away game against [Benfica Lisbon](/source/S.L._Benfica_(women)). The other games were lost, so they were eliminated as bottom of the group. Falk was in goal in all eight games. In qualifying for the group phase of the [2022–23 Champions League](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League), she competed in the second round, but her team lost twice to [Paris Saint-Germain](/source/Paris_Saint-Germain_F%C3%A9minine).[7][8]

Falk remained first-choice goalkeeper as Häcken claimed their second [Damallsvenskan](/source/Damallsvenskan) title in 2025.[9]

On 7 January 2026, she signed a loan deal with [Women's Super League](/source/Women's_Super_League) club [Liverpool](/source/Liverpool_F.C._Women).[10] Falk made her Reds debut on 11 January 2026, playing the full 90 minutes of a 0-0 draw league draw with [London City Lionesses](/source/London_City_Lionesses).[11]

## International career

In October 2014 she received an invitation to the U-23, but was not used. She played her first international match in May 2015 in a 3-1 win against the [England U-23 team](/source/England_women's_national_under-23_football_team).

In October 2016, she became the third goalkeeper for the senior national team's international match against [Iran](/source/Iran_women's_national_football_team), the first of a European team against the Iranians. For the [2019 World Cup](/source/2019_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) she was nominated as the only Swedish player without international caps. She was second goalkeeper but was not used yet.

Falk played her first game for the senior national team at the [2020 Algarve Cup](/source/2020_Algarve_Cup), in which the three nominated goalkeepers each played one game, in the game against [Denmark](/source/Denmark_women's_national_football_team), which was lost 1-2. During [qualifications for the Euro 2022](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2022_qualifying) when regular goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl was injured, Falk was used in the last four qualifying games and kept four clean sheets. With a 2-0 win against [Iceland](/source/Iceland_women's_national_football_team) in the penultimate game, the Swedes qualified early for the European Championship finals.

Falk was selected for the [2020 Olympics](/source/2020_Summer_Olympics).[12] She played in the third group game against [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand_women's_national_football_team) when some regular players were rested after the two opening victories. In the end, like in 2016, the Swedes won the silver medal.

She was nominated for the [Euro 2022](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2022), but was not used. In the [qualifications for the 2023 World Cup](/source/2023_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup_qualification) she played in goal three times and qualified with her team for the finals in Australia and New Zealand.

On 13 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the [2023 World Cup](/source/2023_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup).[13] She played in the third group game against [Argentina](/source/Argentina_women's_national_football_team) when some regular players were rested. Her team was defeated 1-2 defeat in the semi-final against [Spain](/source/Spain_women's_national_football_team).[14] With a 2-0 win in the game for third place over [Australia](/source/Australia_women's_national_soccer_team) she won the bronze medal.[15]

Falk was Sweden's first choice goalkeeper for [UEFA Euro 2025](/source/UEFA_Euro_2025), bowing out in the quarter-finals despite Falk saving four penalties in their shootout against [England](/source/England_women's_national_football_team), keeping out three of their first four. Falk took Sweden's fifth penalty herself but missed what would have been the winner. England instead won the shootout in sudden-death, despite Falk saving a fourth spot-kick.[16][17] In all, Falk saved penalties from [Lauren James](/source/Lauren_James), [Beth Mead](/source/Beth_Mead), [Alex Greenwood](/source/Alex_Greenwood) and [Grace Clinton](/source/Grace_Clinton).[18]

## Personal life

Falk lives together with Swedish footballer Pernilla Johansson and they have a daughter.[19][20]
