Wilma Amanda Carlsson (born 18 July 2000) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Damallsvenskan club PiteÃÂ¥ IF. She has previously played for UmeÃÂ¥ IK and multiple Sweden youth national teams.
Carlsson grew up in the town of Bullmark, where she first began playing football at the age of 6 with Furunäs/Bullmarks IK's mixed team. She then moved on to before being invited to try out for UmeÃÂ¥ IK's under-19 squad. Carlsson's trial was successful and she joined the team at the age of 14.
Within a year of joining UmeÃÂ¥'s youth team, Carlsson was promoted to the senior squad and made her professional debut as a 15-year-old. She faced an ample helping of injuries at the start of her senior career and only made 3 league appearances in her first 3 years of play. One of Carlsson's most devastating injuries was a Cruciate ligament tear that kept her sidelined for much of 2018 and 2019.
After recovering from her knee injury, Carlsson participated in a few games with UmeÃÂ¥ before joining fellow Elitettan club SunnanÃÂ¥ SK on loan in 2020. She scored her first goal with the team on 16 August, contributing to a 3âÂÂ0 win over Kvarnsvedens IK that marked SunnanÃÂ¥'s first victory of the season after having participated in 11 matches. In the end, SunnanÃÂ¥ experienced an unsuccessful season in which they finished in last place of the league. Carlsson herself ended her loan spell on an unpleasant note, conceding an own goal in SunnanÃÂ¥'s final match of the season. She made a total of 13 Elitettan appearances for the club.
Upon returning to UmeÃÂ¥, Carlsson re-signed with the team. She ended up having one of her most consistent seasons yet, playing in a career-high 24 matches. She cemented her position as a centre-back, forming a strong partnership with experienced teammate Lisa Dahlkvist. At the end of the season, Carlsson agreed to extend her contract with UmeÃÂ¥ through yet another year as the team readied to return to the Damallsvenskan for the first time since 2016.
Although the start of the season went well for Carlsson, injuries struck again and she missed the spring portion of the campaign due to an ankle issue. She ended up appearing in 14 games as UmeÃÂ¥ struggled to evade relegation. Ultimately, while the team had a chance to stay in the Damallsvenskan for 2023, a defeat to Kristianstad in the final match of its season confirmed relegation. It would prove to be Carlsson's final game in her UmeÃÂ¥ career, as she then left the club in search of a new opportunity. Over her nine years as a member of UmeÃÂ¥, Carlsson had participated in 18 Damallsvenskan and 50 Elitettan matches.
On 30 December 2022, Carlsson inked a two-year deal with Damallsvenskan club PiteÃÂ¥ IF. In doing so, she joined former UmeÃÂ¥ teammates and Olivia Holm. Carlsson won her first piece of silverware with the club in 2024, helping PiteÃÂ¥ earn its first-ever Svenska Cupen title.
Despite missing one game due to illness and another due to suspension, Carlsson further established her role as a constant in PiteÃÂ¥'s squad in 2025. On 17 May, she scored her first Damallsvenskan goal in a 2âÂÂ1 loss to Hammarby.
Carlsson started playing for the Sweden under-17 national team in 2017. She appeared in 3 matches before a set of injuries hampered her progress. Then, in 2023 and 2024, Carlsson made 13 appearances with Sweden's under-23 squad.
In January 2023, Carlsson received her first call-up to the Sweden senior national team for a training camp in Algarve, Portugal. Although Carlsson had not been initially chosen for the squad, a concussion to opened up a spot on the team.
While playing for UmeÃÂ¥ IK, Carlsson also was enrolled in UmeÃÂ¥ University's nursing program. She graduated from the school in February 2023.
