Emma Nanny Charlotte Kullberg (born 25 September 1991) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Juventus of the Italian Serie A.[4] She previously played for the Damallsvenskan team BK Häcken. Kullberg made her debut for the Sweden women's national football team in November 2019 and won a silver medal with the team at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[5]
Kullberg transferred to Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC in October 2019, after a successful 2019 season with KIF Örebro DFF in which she played in all 22 Damallsvenskan matches and broke into the national team.[6]
In January 2022 she joined FA Women's Super League club Brighton & Hove Albion. She signed an 18-month contract in a double transfer with team mate Julia Zigiotti Olme.[7] On 9 August 2023, after 30 appearances with Brighton, she signed a new contract with the club.[8]
On 11 February 2024, as a substitute, Kullberg scored her debut goals for Brighton, a hat trick against Wolverhampton Wanders in the FA Cup for a 4–1 victory, with the winning goals.[9]
On 5 June 2024, Brighton reported that Kullberg, and three other players, would leave when their contracts expire in June.[10] She signed later a one-year contract with Juventus.[11]
On 7 November 2019 Kullberg made her senior Sweden debut, in a 3–2 friendly defeat by the United States in Columbus, Ohio.[12]
Kullberg was selected in Sweden's 2020 Summer Olympics squad, appearing as a late substitute in the final as Sweden lost to Canada on penalties.[13]
Kullberg lives together with Swedish footballer Julia Zigiotti Olme in a same-sex relationship.[14]
