We are delighted to announce the signing of Olga Ahtinen from Linköpings FC.

The 26-year-old Finland international has signed a deal which will run until 2025. She will wear the number 20 shirt for our women's first team.
 
Born in Kokkola, Ahtinen began her career with her local team, GBK Kokkola, where she made her senior debut in 2013. A year later, she moved to Kokkola Futis 10 before heading east to Pallokissat, where she scored eight goals in 50 appearances across her two seasons.
 
In 2017, the midfielder moved to south Finland and joined PK-35 Vantaa before leaving Finnish football for the first time to join Danish side Brøndby IF, where she scored 15 goals in 56 games. Making six appearances in the UEFA Women’s Champions League during her time in Denmark, Olga also won the Women’s Cup in 2018 and the Kvindeliga in 2019 with Brøndby.
 
A move to Sweden followed in 2019 as she signed for IF Limhamn Bunkeflo before making the move to Linköpings a year later, where she played 79 games and was named Most Valuable Player in 2022.
 
In her international career, Ahtinen has made more than 50 appearances for Finland since 2016, scoring eight goals, and was part of their squad for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022. Olga also helped her country to the Cyprus Women’s Cup earlier this year.
