LTA Agency refutes reports in Swedish media and specifically from Eskilstuna Kuriren linking Olivia Schough with FC Rosengård. There are no ongoing conversations with that club, so the reports are completely baseless.

After spending another outstanding season with Eskilstuna United and scoring her personal best 8 goals in Damallsvenskan, Olivia is looking forward to enjoying the holidays at home with her family.
