In November, it's time for Amanda Zahui to represent Blue and Yellow again.
Sweden receives Israel at home, in Uppsala.
There was a loss in the first match in the European Championship qualifiers against Latvia, and it is important to win the group or be one of the four best group runners-up to get to the European Championships in Israel and Slovenia next year.
- It will be fun to play in the national team again.
It is a completely new troupe, all "old people", such as "Eldebrinkarna" (Elin and Frida Eldebrink), are not included.
But I have talked to the coaches and it is a great mentality in the group, with new energy that I really like and appreciate, says Amanda Zahui.
First free summer in 15 years
But before autumn comes summer and for the first time in 15 years, summer holidays are now waiting.
Opportunity for recovery, a chance to spend time with the family and time to find out who Amanda Zahui really is.
- Right now I'm Amanda from Dalen, who lives at home with mom and dad on a mattress, she laughs.
But as she gets more serious, Amanda Zahui admits that she may not have figured everything out yet.
But that she's really just an ordinary girl.
At home with the parents
Maybe that's exactly what helps her when she licks her wounds at home in Södertälje.
Because instead of playing in the WNBA with the Los Angeles Sparks, Amanda Zahui is at home with her parents.
When Sparks presented the squad for this year's season, 28-year-old Zahui was not present.
- I would not have time in time for the first match, so the coach simply chose to go with the players who were already in place.
But they still own my contract, Amanda Zahui told me already last week when SVT Sport met her.
Amanda Zahui will not be allowed to play for any other team this summer.
But she also does not receive a salary from the Los Angeles Sparks.
Above all, she is disappointed with the club's lack of communication, and the message she received via Twitter.
