She plays for Wolfsburg in Bundesliga. Her club football experience in Sweden includes Malmo FF, Linkopings FC and Kristianstads DFF. She also played for Kopparbergs/Goteborg FC in the English FA WSL. Lindahl made her international debut in 2002.

This broke Elisabeth Leidinge’s record for being the mostcapped female goalkeeper in Sweden. She has been a goalkeeper for Sweden at the UEFA Women’s Championship and FIFA Women’s World Cup. Lindahl was named the Swedish women’s goalkeeper-of-the year in 2005, 2009 and 2014. After being nominated for Damallsvenskan’s Most Valuable Player, she won the 2015 Diamantbollen. Lindahl was among five nominees in 2016 for Women’s PFA Players Player of the year and was also selected for the WSL Team Of The Year.

Lindahl stated that her senior international debut was in January 2002.

After moving to Linköpings and securing first team football at club level, Lindahl began to compete more equally with Caroline Jönsson and Sofia Lundgren for appearances at international level. She understudied Jönsson at the 2004 Olympics. By the time of UEFA Women’s Euro 2005 in England, Lindahl was Sweden’s first choice goalkeeper and played in all three group games, as well as the extra-time semi final defeat to rivals Norway.

Incoming national team coach Thomas Dennerby retained Lindahl and she featured at both the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup and 2008 Olympics in China and UEFA Women’s Euro 2009 in Finland. She remained Sweden’s number one goalkeeper for the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany, where Sweden came third, and the 2012 London Olympics.

After being scouted in 2001 by Elisabeth Leidinge, Malmo’s national youth team coach, she moved into Damallsvenskan together with Malmo FF Dam. Lindahl was challenged by Caroline Jonsson, the then national team goalkeeper. After finishing the 2003 season on loan at IF Trion she spent five seasons at Linkopings FC before joining Kopparbergs/Goteborg FC for 2009.
