The Swedish international originally joined Chelsea LFC at the start of the 2015 FA WSL season, making 16 appearances so far and quickly establishing herself as first choice in goal for Chelsea’s manager – Emma Hayes. With Lindahl’s arrival, Chelsea’s increased stability at the back played an important role in winning the club’s first ever trophy on the women’s side – the 2015 FA Women’s Cup.

This weekend Lindahl made history at home – playing her 113th full international match for Sweden against Moldova – which is the most matches played for the Swedish National Team by a goalkeeper. She added cap number 114 in last night’s home win against Poland to get Sweden’s qualifying campaign for the UEFA Euro 2017 in the Netherlands off to a perfect start with two wins, six points, six goals scored and none conceded.

LTA Agency are pleased to announce the addition of Nandaemua “Sonny” Maharero from Namibia as a new member of the LTA team.
Sonny-Maharero
Maharero will represent the agency in both Namibia and South Africa – the region that hasn’t been greatly explored by LTA until recently. Staying true to the motto: ”Ingen grænser” (No Borders), LTA Agency confirms its commitment to contributing to the development of opportunities for players worldwide with the signing of the new representative. Maharero has already been key in LTA Agency’s signing of their first ever player from Namibia, and he has also been instrumental in Namibia Women’s National Team’s participation in a recent International Tournament in Spain procured by LTA Agency.

We would like to welcome Sonny to the team and wish him a lot of success in this new endeavor.

LTA Agency visited Cameroon twice in the last 4 months. Interesting fact is that during the first visit LTA Agency brought a gift with them.

The gift was generous donation from the Swedish Damallsvenskan team Eskilstuna United in which Gaelle Enganamouit plays. She is a popular name in Cameroon as she is currently the main striker for Cameroon Women’s National Team and is doing very well for her club in Sweden. The gift included Eskilstuna United branded football uniforms, as well as other equipment and training materials. The donation directly benefitted the Light Star United youth team based in Douala and a good number of Cameroonian kids have been very happy to wear Eskilstuna United colors. LTA Agency and Light Star United would like to express their sincere gratitude to Eskilstuna United DFF for the wonderful present they have made to the aspiring players in Cameroon.
