Spetsmark, with a past in, among others, Djurgården and Manchester City, comes closest to the United States and the North Carolina Courage.
With three US national team strikers to compete against, the playing time was suffering.
So a new adventure awaits in Portugal at the big club Benfica, which started its women's team in 2017.
- The club's ambition is to make a name in Europe. It feels like you are part of something bigger. These winds blowing are something that happens here and now, Spetsmark tells Aftonbladet.
The contract extends the season, but can be extended according to agent Michael Kallbäck.
- We chose a shorter contract instead of a longer one because Julia wants to feel in Benfica first, he tells Aftonbladet.
Julia Spetsmark has made four A-country matches for Sweden. The most recent was in November 2017.
