Sweden veteran defender Magda Eriksson is hanging up her international boots to focus on her health, with the 32-year-old officially announcing her retirement from her national team on Sunday.

Eriksson will continue competing at the domestic level for her German club, Bayern Munich.

The longtime captain sat out the most recent international window due to a head injury, watching as world No. 3 Sweden fell to No. 1 Spain in the two-leg 2025 Nations League semifinals.

"It's by far the toughest decision I've ever made," Eriksson said in her social media announcement. "But I'm listening to my body and mind instead of my heart."

"I've landed in the fact that unfortunately it's a decision that has to be made."

After an 11-year career with the Swedish senior national team, Eriksson retires as a two-time Olympic silver medalist, earning those podium finishes in Rio in 2016 and at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Games.

Often leading Sweden through major tournaments where early domination dissolved into a third-place finish, Eriksson also helped her team eke onto the World Cup podium in both 2019 and 2023.

"It is heavy news," said Sweden head coach Tony Gustavsson after Eriksson announced her international retirement, calling her "one of our most important players for a long time."

"[Magda's] professionalism, courage, and heart have left a strong mark on the national team," he added.

Germany and Spain are taking the 2025 UEFA Nations League tournament by storm, with both European powerhouses earning shutout wins on Friday to claim a lead in their two-leg semifinals.

World No. 5 Germany took down No. 6 France 1-0 behind a goal from winger Klara Bühl, while a pair of braces from midfielder Alexia Putellas and forward Clàudia Pina lifted No. 1 Spain to a massive 4-0 win over No. 3 Sweden.

"The victory here feels incredibly good and also the way we played, we played football the way we wanted to," Bühl said in Düsseldorf following Friday's game. "Very, very strong match, I think the fans have noticed it."

"We expected a Sweden like the one we saw, very intense, but once again the team were very mature in many aspects of the game, and we're very happy with the performance," Spain defensive midfielder Laia Aleixandri said postgame.
