Malin Moström (born 1 August 1975) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Renowned for her vision, passing ability, and technical excellence, she was one of the world's finest playmakers during the early 2000s. As captain of both club and country, she combined creativity with outstanding leadership and became one of Sweden's most influential players of her generation.
Moström spent almost her entire senior career with Umeå IK, helping the club become one of Europe's dominant teams. During her time there, she won multiple Damallsvenskan titles and two UEFA Women's Cups, playing a central role in one of the most successful eras in women's club football. She retired in 2006 after a career affected by persistent knee injuries.
On the international stage, Moström earned 113 caps and scored 21 goals for Sweden between 1991 and 2006. She captained Sweden to the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup Final and represented her country at three FIFA Women's World Cups, three UEFA Women's European Championships, and two Olympic Games. In recognition of her outstanding performances, she received the Diamantbollen as Sweden's Women's Footballer of the Year in 2001 and remains widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders Sweden has ever produced.
After retiring from football, Moström appeared in the Swedish TV competition Mästarnas mästare in 2009, finishing second, and later featured in the 2013 documentary series Den andra sporten.
