She represented the [Sweden women's national football team](/source/Sweden_women's_national_football_team) at the [2008 Beijing Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament). ## Club career Aronsson joined Linköpings in 2002, when they were called BK Kenty, and remained with the team for six seasons, making 121 appearances.[3] 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](/source/Josefine_%C3%96qvist), [Kosovare Asllani](/source/Kosovare_Asllani) and [Jessica Landström](/source/Jessica_Landstr%C3%B6m)) were better equipped to lead the team's trophy quest.[4] 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.[5] ## International career Aronsson's debut for the senior [Sweden](/source/Sweden_women's_national_football_team) team came in a 1–1 draw in [Finland](/source/Finland_women's_national_football_team) on 2 October 2004. She scored her first – and only – goal for the national team in a 1–1 [friendly](/source/Exhibition_game) draw with [England](/source/England_women's_national_football_team) on 9 February 2006 in the Cypriot town of [Achna](/source/Achna).[6] In August 2008 Aronsson replaced the injured Josefine Öqvist in the Sweden squad for the [2008 Beijing Olympics](/source/Football_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_tournament).[7] She appeared as an [extra time](/source/Extra_time) substitute in the Swedes' quarter-final defeat by [Germany](/source/Germany_women's_national_football_team). ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Maria Aronsson"](https://web.archive.org/web/20200417204031/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ar/maria-aronsson-1.html).
