When most people choose Sweden and the Damallsvenskan at a young age, Julia Roddar alternated college football with games at home in the division 3 club Korsnäs IF in the summers.

The Damallsvenska debut first came as a 24-year-old for Kvarnsvedens IK before she was finally recruited by Kopparbergs Gbg who then became Häcken.

- It feels like it went pretty fast.

I graduated from college, moved home and played with Kvarnsveden and then it just felt like it was football I should bet on.

I think once I made up my mind, it was the joy that took me to the United States, she says and continues:

- You are proud to come from such a small club and still make it to the women's national team.

It's an incredible pride.

From BK Häcken, she was then recruited to the USA in the beginning of 2021 and after only one season in Washington spirit, it became a league title immediately.

- It was awesome.

It feels so sick.
