Club career

edit

Andelén joined Öxabäcks IF as a 15-year-old in 1983 and won the league title in her first season. She was Damallsvenskan top goalscorer on three consecutive occasions (1992, 1993 and 1994).[2] Andelén played in seven consecutive Svenska Cupen finals with the club, who became known as Öxabäck/Marks IF in 1991.[3] In August 1994 she scored all six goals in Öxabäck/Marks IF's 6–1 destruction of Gideonsberg.[4]

In 1997, while playing for Suzuyo Shimizu F.C. Lovely Ladies, Andelén was L. League top goalscorer with 19 goals and was named in the league all-star team.[5]

International career

edit

Andelén made her senior Sweden debut on 22 August 1985, a 5–0 win over Norway in Sundsvall.[6] In 1991 Andelén's three goals helped Sweden to a third-place finish at the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup and in 1992 she collected the Diamantbollen award for the best female footballer in the country. Her brace against Denmark in the second leg of the quarter finals of the UEFA Women's Euro 1995 qualifying campaign was the difference in overcoming a 0–2 deficit to beat Denmark 3–2 on aggregate and qualify for UEFA Women's Euro 1995. In the final of that tournament in March 1995 at Fritz-Walter-Stadion in Kaiserslautern, Andelén's late goal was not enough to stop Germany from beating Sweden 3–2. She quit the national team after featuring at the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup, which Sweden hosted. There had been a dispute over the team's tactics at the tournament.[7]

Anneli Andelén competed in two FIFA Women's World Cups: China 1991, and Sweden 1995. In the 1991 edition, Andelén played every minute of the tournament and scored the opening goal in a 4–0 victory over Germany in the Third Place Match.[8]

Anneli Andelén appeared in three European Championship tournaments. Her side finished in second place at the 1987 and 1995 editions of the competition, and took home a third-place finish in 1989.

Personal life

edit

During her playing career, Andelén was in a relationship with club teammate Nathalie Geeris.[9] Andelén married Lisa in June 2008.[10] She became chief executive of the family sawmill business after her football career.[11]
