Lina Therese (born 17 June 1987), is a retired Swedish footballer who played for FC Rosengard as well as the Sweden national soccer team. She is a typical full- back but can also play wide midfield. Malmo FF Dam brought her to the club in

2006. She has remained with it through various incarnations, including LdB FC FC and FC Rosengard. Nilsson won her first Sweden cap in July 2009. She has represented Sweden in the 2009 and 2013 UEFA Women’s Championships, as well the 2011 and 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cups. Nilsson also participated in the 2012 Olympic football tournament.

Thomas Dennerby, the national coach, selected Nilsson to represent Sweden at UEFA Women’s Euro 2009. She appeared in three matches. Nilsson retained her place in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011 in Germany. However, Annica Svensson was appointed as the first-choice right back. Nilsson was not present until the quarter-finals, when she was an ineffective substitute for Australia’s 3-1 win.

Sweden’s third-place finish at the World Cup ensured qualification for the 2012 London Olympics. Nilsson started two of Sweden’s Group F games and was a substitute in the other one. Her two yellow cards meant she was suspended for the quarter-final and Annica Svensson played in the 2–1 defeat by France at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

Nilsson started Sweden’s opening World Cup match at left-back, but struggled to contain Nigeria’s winger Asisat Oshoala. Sweden surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 3–3. In Sweden’s next match an improved performance secured a 0–0 draw with the United States, with Nilsson pushed into a left-sided midfield role. In Sweden’s 4–1 defeat by Germany in the second round, Nilsson replaced beleaguered left-back Samuelsson at half-time.

Thomas Dennerby, the coach of Nilsson’s national team, said about Nilsson when he named them in 2009. Sveriges Radio’s preview of UEFA Women’s Euro 2013 said that Nilsson was more technical and attacking than Jessica Samuelsson, her right-back counterpart. She was also more solid defensively. Markus Tilly, the coach, praised Nilsson’s communication skills on the pitch when he handed her the FC Rosengard captaincy.
