**Charlotta Eva Schelin** (born 27 February 1984) is a Swedish former [professional](/source/Professional_sports) [footballer](/source/Association_football) who played as a [forward](/source/Forward_(association_football)).

She made her debut for the [Sweden national team](/source/Sweden_women's_national_football_team) in March 2004 and was appointed joint [captain](/source/Captain_(association_football)) alongside [Caroline Seger](/source/Caroline_Seger) in October 2012. Schelin has represented her country in the [2005](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2005), [2009](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2009), [2013](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2013), and [2017](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2017) editions of the [UEFA Women's Championship](/source/UEFA_Women's_Championship), as well as the [2007](/source/2007_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup), [2011](/source/2011_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup), and [2015](/source/2015_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) [FIFA Women's World Cups](/source/FIFA_Women's_World_Cup). She also played at the [Olympic football tournaments](/source/Football_at_the_Summer_Olympics) in [2004](/source/Football_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament), [2008](/source/Football_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament), [2012](/source/Football_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament) and [2016](/source/Football_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament).[4]

In October 2014, Schelin became Sweden's all time record goalscorer by scoring her 73rd international goal in a [friendly](/source/Exhibition_game) defeat by [Germany](/source/Germany_women's_national_football_team).

Schelin began her senior club career with [Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC](/source/Kopparbergs%2FG%C3%B6teborg_FC) (then known as Landvetter FC) in 2001. She developed into a prolific goalscorer in the Damallsvenskan then made a lucrative [transfer](/source/Transfer_(association_football)) to [Lyon](/source/Olympique_Lyonnais_(Ladies)) in 2008, rejecting a competing offer from the American [Women's Professional Soccer](/source/Women's_Professional_Soccer) league. During her eight-season stay at Lyon, she won eight consecutive [Division 1 Féminine titles](/source/List_of_French_women's_football_champions), five [Coupes de France Féminine](/source/Coupe_de_France_F%C3%A9minine), three [UEFA Women's Champions Leagues](/source/UEFA_Women's_Champions_League) and was the top goalscorer in the [2012–13](/source/2012%E2%80%9313_Division_1_F%C3%A9minine) and [2014–15 Division 1 Féminine](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_Division_1_F%C3%A9minine) seasons. In 2013, she became the first foreign [UNFP Player of the Year](/source/Troph%C3%A9es_UNFP_du_football#Women_Division_1). In 2016, she returned to Swedish football with FC Rosengård, departing Lyon as the French club's all time record goalscorer with 225 goals in 225 appearances.[5] She has been awarded *[Diamantbollen](/source/Diamantbollen)* (*the Diamond Ball*), given to the Swedish player of the year, a record five times, including four consecutive times from 2011 to 2014.

On 30 August 2018, she announced her retirement due to chronic head and neck pain resulting from an injury suffered while playing for [FC Rosengård](/source/FC_Roseng%C3%A5rd) in 2017.[6][7]

## Early life

Although Schelin was born in [Stockholm](/source/Stockholm), her family moved away from the capital when she was two years old.[8] With her father Kjell and mother Nina,[9] she grew up in [Kållered](/source/K%C3%A5llered) outside [Gothenburg](/source/Gothenburg) and began to play football for Kållereds SK along with her older sister, [Camilla](/source/Camilla_Schelin).[10] She has also played for Hällesåkers IF and Mölnlycke IF. Schelin was also adept at sports including [table-tennis](/source/Table-tennis), [track and field](/source/Track_and_field), and [snowboarding](/source/Snowboarding) before opting to focus on football full-time. As a [teenager](/source/Teenager), she developed problems with her [spine](/source/Vertebral_column) and was advised to stop playing the sport. Schelin went through intensive strength training and recovered by the time she turned 17.[11] She credited her sister and former teammate Camilla and [Tina Nordlund](/source/Tina_Nordlund) as important role models for her.[12]

## Club career

### Göteborg FC

In 2001, when she was 17 years old, Schelin made her debut in the [Damallsvenskan](/source/Damallsvenskan) for Landvetter FC, now known as [Göteborg FC](/source/Kopparbergs%2FG%C3%B6teborg_FC). Her debut season yielded eight goals in 19 appearances.[13] After an injury in August 2002, she was out of the league for almost a year and a half, returning in June 2003. In 2004 Schelin was named Breakthrough Player of the Year after netting 14 goals in 15 games for Göteborg.[14] In 2006, Schelin scored 21 goals in 21 league games. At the end of season [Fotbollsgalan](/source/Fotbollsgalan), she was named Forward of the Year, Player of the Year and Top Goalscorer.[15] She was also shortlisted for the [2006 FIFA World Player of the Year](/source/2006_FIFA_World_Player_of_the_Year) and was recognised by Swedish referees with a special award for her sporting treatment of opponents and officials.[16] In 2007, she retained her top scorer title by scoring 26 league goals.[17] Despite persistent interest from leading Damallsvenskan clubs including [Umeå IK](/source/Ume%C3%A5_IK) and [Linköpings FC](/source/Link%C3%B6pings_FC),[18] Schelin opted to stay at her hometown team. She ultimately played in over 120 league matches with Göteborg, establishing herself as one of the club's most prominent players.

### Lyon

Playing for Lyon in 2013

After the re-branding and re-launch of the new [United States](/source/United_States)-based league, [Women's Professional Soccer](/source/Women's_Professional_Soccer) (WPS), Schelin declared that she would be interested in playing in the league. However, after the [2008 Summer Olympics](/source/2008_Summer_Olympics), Schelin announced that she would instead be joining [Division 1 Féminine](/source/Division_1_F%C3%A9minine) club [Olympique Lyonnais](/source/Olympique_Lyonnais_(ladies)) in [France](/source/France). Upon signing her contract, it was reported by *[Göteborgs-Posten](/source/G%C3%B6teborgs-Posten)* that Schelin would be earning over 1 million kr (US$160,000) per year.[19] The move to France was criticised in Sweden, as, although Lyon were a well-resourced club, the overall standard of the Division 1 Féminine was considered much weaker than the Damallsvenskan.[18] On 24 September 2008, Schelin's American transfer rights were drafted by the [Saint Louis Athletica](/source/Saint_Louis_Athletica) in the [2008 WPS International Draft](/source/2008_WPS_International_Draft). She declined the chance to join WPS, citing her contract with Lyon as the primary reason.[20] Saint Louis signed Schelin's compatriot [Sara Larsson](/source/Sara_Larsson) instead.[21]

Schelin arrived in Lyon in poor condition, after a thigh injury disrupted her 2008 spring season with Göteborg and migraines and stomach aches afflicted her at the 2008 Olympic Games. When she told Lyon's coach [Farid Benstiti](/source/Farid_Benstiti) that she could also play on the [wing](/source/Winger_(sports)), he shook his head and replied that he had signed her to score goals.[22] Alongside Brazil's [Kátia Cilene Teixeira](/source/K%C3%A1tia_Cilene_Teixeira), Schelin formed a productive attack for Lyon as the club defended its French title and reached the [2008–09 UEFA Women's Cup](/source/2008%E2%80%9309_UEFA_Women's_Cup) semi-final, where they lost to [FCR 2001 Duisburg](/source/FCR_2001_Duisburg). The following season, Schelin was afflicted by injuries and was ruled out of Lyon's [2010 UEFA Women's Champions League Final](/source/2010_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_Final) defeat by [Turbine Potsdam](/source/1._FFC_Turbine_Potsdam) with ligament damage.[23]

Schelin did play in the [2011 final](/source/2011_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_Final), as Lyon avenged the previous year's defeat to beat Turbine Potsdam 2–0 at [Craven Cottage](/source/Craven_Cottage) and secure their first continental title. She had scored nine times on Lyon's route to the final, including twice in the semi-final, to bring about what she termed "the proudest moment" of her career.[24] Lyon won a domestic [double](/source/Double_(association_football)) in [2011–12](/source/2011%E2%80%9312_Division_1_F%C3%A9minine) and retained their European title by beating Frankfurt 2–0 in the [2012 final](/source/2012_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_Final) at the [Olympic Stadium in Munich](/source/Olympiastadion_(Munich)). In [2012–13](/source/2012%E2%80%9313_Division_1_F%C3%A9minine) Schelin was in the best form of her career and finished as Division 1 Féminine top scorer with 24 goals in 16 appearances. She was also named [French Player of the Year](/source/Troph%C3%A9es_UNFP_du_football#Women_Division_1) for the first time,[25] but missed out on a third successive Champions League winner's medal when Lyon lost [the final](/source/2013_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_Final) 1–0 to [Wolfsburg](/source/VfL_Wolfsburg) at [Stamford Bridge](/source/Stamford_Bridge_(stadium)). In May 2013 she signed a new three-year contract with Lyon, reportedly worth an annual 2 million kr.[26]

In [2013–14](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_Division_1_F%C3%A9minine) Schelin contributed 12 league goals to another domestic double but Lyon lost to Turbine Potsdam in the Champions League round of 16. Her form had slumped after a breakdown in her working relationship with coach [Patrice Lair](/source/Patrice_Lair).[27] She rebounded the following season, scoring Lyon's 1000th Division 1 Féminine goal in a 7–0 home win over [Rodez](/source/Rodez_AF_F%C3%A9minines) on 16 November 2014. Her second goal in the same match drew her level with [Sandrine Brétigny](/source/Sandrine_Br%C3%A9tigny) as Lyon's all-time record scorer.[28] She finished [2014–15](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_Division_1_F%C3%A9minine) as Division 1 Féminine top scorer with 34 goals in 21 games, but Lyon were [upset](/source/Upset_(competition)) by French rivals [Paris Saint-Germain](/source/Paris_Saint-Germain_F%C3%A9minines) in the Champions League round of 16.

Towards the end of another successful season in [2015–16](/source/2015%E2%80%9316_Division_1_F%C3%A9minine), Lyon announced that Schelin would depart the club at the end of her contract. Her final game for the club was the [2016 UEFA Women's Champions League Final](/source/2016_UEFA_Women's_Champions_League_Final); in which she scored in the [penalty shootout](/source/Penalty_shoot-out_(association_football)) win over Wolfsburg. With Lyon Schelin won eight consecutive Division 1 Féminine titles, five Cups and three Champions Leagues. She left as the team's all-time record goalscorer with 225 goals in 225 appearances.[5][29] Schelin's 41 goals for Lyon in the UEFA Women's Champions League left her fourth in the competition's all-time top scorer list. She held the record for Champions League goals for a single club, since [Anja Mittag](/source/Anja_Mittag) (49), [Conny Pohlers](/source/Conny_Pohlers) (48) and [Marta](/source/Marta_(footballer)) (46) all accrued their totals with more than one club.[30]

### Rosengård

On 8 June 2016, Schelin was presented as a player for Swedish champions [FC Rosengård](/source/FC_Roseng%C3%A5rd), of Malmö.[31] She rejected an offer to rejoin Göteborg FC because they were unable to offer Champions League football.[32] Schelin made her Rosengård debut slightly earlier than expected, substituting in for the injured [Nataša Andonova](/source/Nata%C5%A1a_Andonova) after 22 minutes of a league fixture against [Djurgården](/source/Djurg%C3%A5rdens_IF_Fotboll_(women)). Schelin scored a 90th-minute goal to salvage a 2–2 draw.[33]

## International career

In March 2004 Schelin scored twice on her debut for the Swedish under-21 team, in their 6–0 win over the full [Republic of Ireland national team](/source/Republic_of_Ireland_women's_national_football_team) in [Dublin](/source/Dublin).[34] She previously scored three goals in six appearances for Sweden's under-16 team and two goals in seven appearances for the under-18s.[35]

Schelin in April 2013

Schelin made her senior national team debut for [Sweden](/source/Sweden_women's_national_football_team) on 16 March 2004; a 3–0 [Algarve Cup](/source/Algarve_Cup) defeat by [France](/source/France_women's_national_football_team).[36] In the fifth place play-off against [China](/source/China_women's_national_football_team), Schelin was praised for scoring in Sweden's [penalty shootout](/source/Penalty_shoot-out_(association_football)) win after a 1–1 draw.[37] She had been called into the squad as a replacement for [Sara Johansson](/source/Sara_Johansson) who had [flu](/source/Influenza).[34] Schelin retained her place and represented her nation at the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics_-_Women's_tournament) in [Athens](/source/Athens). Throughout this period, Schelin endured injuries to the [groin](/source/Groin) and [hamstring](/source/Hamstring), which required extensive rest. She was selected by coach [Marika Domanski-Lyfors](/source/Marika_Domanski-Lyfors) for [UEFA Women's Euro 2005](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2005) in [North West England](/source/North_West_England). She entered play as a second-half substitute but failed to score as Sweden lost 3–2 to rivals [Norway](/source/Norway_women's_national_football_team) in [extra time](/source/Extra_time) of the semi-final in [Warrington](/source/Warrington).[38]

Schelin was a key player in the [2006 edition](/source/2006_Algarve_Cup) of the [Algarve Cup](/source/Algarve_Cup); leading Sweden to their third-place finish. She scored the only goal in the bronze medal victory over [France](/source/France_women's_national_football_team). After overcoming her injury problems, Schelin was awarded the [Diamond Ball](/source/Diamantbollen) as the country's best female football player.[39] That same year, she was named the Forward of the Year in the Damallsvenskan. Schelin's success brought her to mainstream attention in her country and she was rewarded with selection to attend the [2007 FIFA Women's World Cup](/source/2007_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) draw in China on behalf of Sweden.

At the World Cup in China, Schelin scored two goals in three matches (one start) but Sweden unexpectedly failed to progress out of their group. After that failure some experienced players retired and coach [Thomas Dennerby](/source/Thomas_Dennerby) gave Schelin and other younger players a more prominent role in the team.[40] Back in China the following year for the [2008 Beijing Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament), she contributed three goals in four games but the Swedes lost 2–0 to Germany in the quarter-final.

Schelin helped Sweden to a bronze medal position at the [2011 FIFA Women's World Cup](/source/2011_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) in Germany and was named in the [All-Star Team](/source/2011_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup#All-Star_Team). She featured in Sweden's 3–1 semi-final defeat to eventual winners [Japan](/source/Japan_women's_national_football_team) in [Frankfurt](/source/Frankfurt). Sweden secured third place by beating [France](/source/France_women's_national_football_team) 2–1 in [Sinsheim](/source/Sinsheim), Schelin scoring her second goal of the tournament. Third place also ensured Sweden's qualification for the [2012 Olympic football tournament](/source/Football_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament) in [London](/source/London). Dennerby kept Schelin in Sweden's Olympic squad for London,[41] where they lost to France in the quarter-finals. Schelin scored twice in four matches but felt Dennerby's emphasis on defence had left her isolated in Sweden's attack.[42]

Marked by Germany's [Jennifer Cramer](/source/Jennifer_Cramer) in the Euro 2013 semi-final

In October 2012, new national team coach [Pia Sundhage](/source/Pia_Sundhage) decided that Schelin and [Caroline Seger](/source/Caroline_Seger) would share the captaincy.[43] Sundhage named Schelin in the squad for [UEFA Women's Euro 2013](/source/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2013), which Sweden hosted.[44] Schelin finished as the tournament top scorer with five goals but was disappointed when Sweden lost 1–0 to Germany in the semi-final.[45] She criticised the decision of Swiss referee [Esther Staubli](/source/Esther_Staubli), who disallowed her equalising goal for a very questionable foul on Germany's centre-back [Annike Krahn](/source/Annike_Krahn).[46] Schelin's goal against Germany in October 2014's 2–1 home [friendly](/source/Exhibition_match) defeat was her 73rd goal for Sweden, which broke the national record previously set by [Hanna Ljungberg](/source/Hanna_Ljungberg).[47]

Schelin arrived at the [2015 FIFA Women's World Cup](/source/2015_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup) suffering from persistent knee pain. In Sweden's opening game she was unable to make any impression on [Nigeria](/source/Nigeria_women's_national_football_team)'s defence, as the Africans recovered from 3–1 down to draw 3–3.[48] In the team's 4–1 second round loss to Germany, goalkeeper [Hedvig Lindahl](/source/Hedvig_Lindahl) made several saves to prevent an even heavier defeat for the disorganised Swedes.[49]

With 165 caps and 84 goals, Schelin was the most experienced member of Sweden's 18-player squad for the [2016 Summer Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament).[35] When the team suffered a record 5–1 defeat by hosts [Brazil](/source/Brazil_women's_national_football_team) in the second match, Schelin scored the late consolation goal and tried to lift the spirits of her demoralised teammates.[50] In the quarter-final against the United States, captain Schelin had an [extra-time](/source/Overtime_(sports)) goal incorrectly ruled out for offside and the match finished 1–1. She scored in Sweden's [penalty shootout](/source/Penalty_shoot-out_(association_football)) win.[51] Sweden reached the gold medal match, but lost 2–1 to Germany. Schelin was disappointed by the defeat but proud to win a silver medal.[52]

## Style of play

In June 2015 Schelin described herself as "not a typical center-forward" as she likes to drop deep or go wide in order to find space: "I always think of the collective because the danger can come from all players. Even if I do not score, I pass, I run to attract defenders. In the end, I want to win." She attributes her unselfish play to her upbringing in communal [Swedish culture](/source/Culture_of_Sweden). After moving to Lyon, her instinct to pass to better-placed teammates annoyed her coach Farid Benstiti, who wanted her to concentrate on converting chances herself.[18] Sweden's former coach Thomas Dennerby felt that Schelin became more comfortable on the ball after moving to Lyon, but retained her pace and ability in one-on-one situations.[53]

Schelin is capable of playing as a [winger](/source/Winger_(sports)). But when Dennerby deployed her wide in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, her Göteborg coach [Martin Pringle](/source/Martin_Pringle) called for her to be given a more central role: "she is too good a player to play out there".[54] China's coach [Shang Ruihua](/source/Shang_Ruihua) highlighted Schelin as Sweden's best player ahead of the countries' opening match at the 2008 Summer Olympics: "Schelin has fast pace and excellent technique, and few defenders could keep up with her."[55] Although tall and slender, she is also physically strong; [England](/source/England_women's_national_football_team) captain [Steph Houghton](/source/Steph_Houghton) rated Schelin as the "toughest opponent" of her career.[56]

The comparisons are nice in a way. After all, Zlatan's one of the best in the world; a real killer on the field with fantastic technical skills and an awesome will to win. But although he inspires me, and I love watching him play, there are big differences between us too. And I like that young girls look up to me as Lotta Schelin, not as 'the female Zlatan'.

— Lotta Schelin[57]

As a tall, skilful and prolific Swedish forward, Schelin has frequently drawn comparison with the contemporary male footballer [Zlatan Ibrahimović](/source/Zlatan_Ibrahimovi%C4%87).[58] Former [Denmark national team](/source/Denmark_women's_national_football_team) manager [Peter Bonde](/source/Peter_Bonde) branded Schelin "the female Zlatan" in 2005.[59] In December 2013, Ibrahimović made an outspoken rejection of any comparison: "I was asked [by Swedish media] in the summer who was the better player, me or Lotta Schelin. You're kidding me, right? When I've broken all these records, this goal record, the goals in the national team, who shall I compare it to? Shall I compare it to whoever has the record, or the ladies?" Schelin's national team coach Pia Sundhage described his comments as sad and boring.[60] [Johanna Frändén](/source/Johanna_Fr%C3%A4nd%C3%A9n), a journalist specialising in coverage of Ibrahimović, noted Schelin's contrasting temperament: "She is polite, charming, she does not have the same arrogance".[29]

## Personal life

Schelin came out publicly as a [lesbian](/source/Lesbian) in August 2018.[61] She has been married to her wife Rebecca since 2018.

## In popular culture

Schelin featured in the [Sveriges Television](/source/Sveriges_Television) documentary television series *[The Other Sport](/source/The_Other_Sport)* from 2013.

In 2021 Schelin participated in the [Swedish version](/source/Masked_Singer_Sverige) of the South Korean game show [Masked Singer](/source/Masked_Singer) as Jokern (The Joker).[62]
