She represented the [[Sweden women's national football team]] at the [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|2008 Beijing Olympics]].
== Club career ==
Aronsson joined Linköpings in 2002, when they were called BK Kenty, and remained with the team for six seasons, making 121 appearances.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.linkopingfc.com/index.php?menu=2&submenu=8|title=Spelarnas Maratontabell 1977-2011|publisher=[[Linköpings FC]]|accessdate=18 October 2013|language=Swedish}}</ref> She was surprised and disappointed to be released after the 2007 season. Linköpings' management told her that she had finished developing and that their other forwards ([[Josefine Öqvist]], [[Kosovare Asllani]] and [[Jessica Landström]]) were better equipped to lead the team's trophy quest.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.svt.se/nyheter/regionalt/ostnytt/linkoping-inget-nytt-kontrakt-for-maria-aronsson|title=Linköping – Inget nytt kontrakt för Maria Aronsson|date=21 November 2007|publisher=[[Sveriges Television]]|accessdate=18 October 2013|language=Swedish}}</ref>
She moved to Damallsvenskan rivals LdB FC Malmö on a two-year contract with an option for a third. After nine goals in 34 games across two seasons, Aronsson declined the contract extension and moved back to live in Linköping. Aged 25, she was starting to look at a career beyond football.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/fotboll/ldb-fc-malmo/aronsson-lamnar-ldb-fc-malmo/|title=Aronsson lämnar LDB FC Malmö|date=26 October 2009|work=Sydsvenskan|accessdate=18 October 2013|language=Swedish|first=Jonas|last=Jakobsson|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021003139/http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/fotboll/ldb-fc-malmo/aronsson-lamnar-ldb-fc-malmo/|archivedate=21 October 2013}}</ref>
