Jonna Ann-Charlotte Andersson (born 2 January 1993) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Elitettan club Linköpings FC. She recorded 112 caps for the Sweden national team, earning two Olympic silver medals and two FIFA Women's World Cup bronze medals.

Andersson joined Linköpings FC in 2009 and made two league appearances in her first season as the club won the Damallsvenskan title. After three seasons where she was mainly a substitute, she became an important starting player of the team in the 2013 season.[2]

In December 2017, Andersson joined the FA WSL side Chelsea.[3] In 2019, she renewed her contract until 2022.[4] With Chelsea, Andersson won three consecutive Women's Super League titles, in 2019–20, 2020–21 and 2021–22. The 2020 WSL title was given to Chelsea on a points per game basis after the league was stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

On 5 April 2022, Andersson confirmed she would return to Damallsvenskan, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with Hammarby IF. The transfer came to effect in August when the Swedish transfer window opened.[6]

In November 2024, she signed a three-year contract with Linköpings FC, returning to the club where she began her professional career.[7]

International career

As a Sweden under-19 international, Andersson featured at the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Turkey.[8] Sweden won the tournament by beating Spain 1–0 in the final after extra time.[9]

Senior team coach Pia Sundhage called up Andersson for the first time in January 2016 for a friendly against Scotland, as a replacement for Amanda Ilestedt who had a back injury. She played at left-back as the Scots were defeated 6–0 at Prioritet Serneke Arena.[10] Andersson retained her place in the squad for the 2016 UEFA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[11]

On 13 June 2023, she was included in Sweden's 23-player squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[12]

In February 2026, Andersson announced her retirement from international play. She had scored 3 goals across 112 senior international matches.[13]
