Lina Mona Andréa Hurtig (born 5 September 1995) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for English Women's Super League club Arsenal and the Sweden national team.[2]
When she was 15 years old, Hurtig played the 2011 season with Gustafs GoIF in the Norrettan, which at the time was the second division of Swedish football.[3] She scored 14 goals and made four assists in 20 games.[4] At the end of that campaign she was approached by Damallsvenskan clubs LdB FC Malmö and Umeå IK. She joined the latter after a short training spell.[5]
Upon Umeå's relegation following the 2016 season, Hurtig transferred to league champions Linköping FC on a two-year contract.[6] In 2017, she and her team won the 2017 Damallsvenskan league title.
On 31 August 2020, Hurtig joined Juventus.[7] She won back to back league titles with Juventus in the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons. In the 2021–22 Champions League, Hurtig scored the first goal in a 4-0 victory against Servette FC, helping send Juventus to the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time.[8]
On 18 August 2022, Hurtig joined Arsenal on a permanent transfer,[9] for a fee later reported by Juventus as € 73k.[10] She scored her first goal for Arsenal on 6 September 2023 in the 3-0 victory against her former club Linköping in the 2023–24 Champions League first qualifying round.[11]
As a Swedish under-19 international, Hurtig was a regular starter at the 2012 U-19 European Championship.[12] She started the victorious Swedish team's 1–0 extra time win over Spain in the final.
In December 2012, national team coach Pia Sundhage called up 17-year-old Hurtig to a senior squad training camp at Bosön.[13] Hurtig was also named in the senior squad for a 1–1 friendly draw with Brazil on 19 June 2013.[14] She was hopeful of making the hosts' final squad for UEFA Euro 2013, but was not selected.
After leaving Hurtig out of the final pre-tournament friendly against Norway in May 2013, Sundhage described her as a potentially world class player.[15]
Hurtig won her first senior cap as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Canada in November 2014.[16]
Hurtig was selected in the Sweden squad that travelled to France for the 2019 World Cup. She scored her first goal in the tournament in a 5–1 win against Thailand.[17] In July 2021, she was selected in the Sweden squad for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[18] On 21 July, she scored in the 3–0 victory over United States.[19]
On 13 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the 2023 World Cup.[20] In the Round of 16, she successfully converted on a video-confirmed penalty in the shootout against the United States, knocking the two-time defending champions out of the tournament.[21]
On 16 August 2019, Lina Hurtig announced that she had married Lisa Lantz, her teammate at Umeå IK and Linköping FC.[22] On 11 June 2021, Hurtig's daughter was born.[23]
