Jakobssonâs move comes after a short stint with Bayern Munich that began in July following a 33-match 2020-2021 campaign with Real Madrid. The Swedish star notched eight goals and seven assists during her season with the Spanish club.
A veteran on Swedenâs national team, Jakobsson has appeared in over 100 matches for her country, scoring 23 international goals and leading her side in three World Cups.
âSofia is a natural goal scorer and a proven winner at the highest levels of the game,â said Wave FC head coach Casey Stoney. âSheâll bring yet another scoring threat to Wave FCâs attack.â
According to Meg Linehan of the Athletic, Jakobssonâs contract will be for three seasons, with her salary covered by allocation money.
