A post shared by Sofia Jakobsson (@sofiajakobsson)

Sofia Jakobsson was born on 23rd April 1990 in Ornskoldsvik by her parents. She was raised by her mother Agneta alongside her sister whose name is not known.  She fell in love with the game of football at a tender age.

She had her first experience of club football when she was 6 back at home with Hagglunds IOFK. And later solidified herself by playing a single season with second division side Osters IF, before signing for Umea in the first division, where she spent 5 seasons and won 2 championships and 1 national cup.

The team lost domination in the Damallsvenskan in 2009. This prompted her to move to the Russian champion side WFC Rossiyanka so she can have the opportunity to play the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

She joined Chelsea ladies in January 2013 and played for just a season before moving to the newly promoted BV Cloppenburg in the German Bundesliga. However, she left the London club with just 3 WSL games until the end of the season.

In July 2014, she signed a deal with the French Division 1 side; Montpellier HSC where she played for 4 seasons before moving to Spain to Play for Real Madrid. She returned to Germany again, but this time around for Bayern Munich on a free transfer on 2nd July 2021.
