SaraLilja Vidlund

Lilja arrives at Rise FC as a proven Swedish goalscorer, most recently with Damallsvenskan side Djurgårdens IF (2022– 24). The forward made her top-flight breakthrough with KIF Örebro, where she delivered standout performances— including a four-goal Svenska Cupen match (2020) and a promotion-winning campaign (2019). A clinical finisher at youth levels, Lilja netted a hat-trick for Sweden’s U16s in UEFA qualifying and earned U19/U23 call-ups. Despite a 2023 ACL setback, she rebounded with key contributions in Sweden’s top tier. Known for her explosive scoring (notably a cupfinal hat-trick in 2021), Lilja brings European experience and attacking instincts to Rise FC’s frontline.
