She won fourDamallsvenskan championships, all with Jitex BK, as well as two additionalSvenska Cupen with the club. She also won two Svenska Cupen with Hammarby IF DFF.

International career

[edit]

Sundhage made her first appearance for theSweden national team as a 15-year-old in 1975, eventually amassing 146 caps and scoring 71 goals for her country.^[8] Her 71 goals gave her joint-lead withLena Videkull for the most in the Sweden national team history, a record which has since been surpassed by bothHanna Ljungberg andLotta Schelin.^{[citation needed]}

She participated for Sweden in the1991 (a third-place finish) and1995 editions of theFIFA Women's World Cup and the1996 Summer Olympics. She won, and was the top scorer, in the1984 UEFA Women's Championship. Her image appeared on a Swedish postage stamp in 1988.^[9] In 1989 Sundhage scored the first goal in a women's match atWembley Stadium, as Sweden beatEngland 2–0 in a curtain–raiser for theRous Cup.^[10]

In 2000, Sundhage finished sixth in the voting forFIFA Women's Player of the Century.^{[citation needed]}

Coaching career

[edit]

Pre-United States

[edit]

Sundhage got her start in coaching as aplayer/manager when she was withHammarby IF from 1992 to 1994. She then took assistants jobs withVallentuna BK (1998 to 1999) andAIK Fotboll Dam (2000) before moving across theAtlantic Ocean to become an assistant withPhiladelphia Charge of the newWomen's United Soccer Association in theUnited States. She eventually was hired on byBoston Breakers as the head coach, winning the league title and being named the 2003 WUSA Coach of the Year in the process. Once the WUSA folded however, it was back toScandinavia to take on further coaching positions.

Her relationship with the Boston Breakers ledUnited States women's national team captainKristine Lilly and fellow USWNT playerKate Markgraf joining her in the SwedishDamallsvenskan when Pia coachedKIF Örebro DFF from 2005 to 2006, after a brief stint withKolbotn IL in 2004. Lilly said she "wanted to play for Pia again."

Sundhage served as an assistant toMarika Domanski-Lyfors for theChina Women's national team during the2007 FIFA Women's World Cup.

United States women's national team

[edit]

Pia Sundhage was announced as theUnited States women's national team head coach on 13 November 2007.^[11] She became the seventh head coach in the U.S. team's history and the third woman. Lauren Gregg was in charge for 3 games in 2000,April Heinrichs led the squad from 2000–2004 and won the2004 Summer Olympics, while Sundhage served as a scout for the United States during the 2004 Olympics.^{[citation needed]}

United States women's national team at the 2012 Summer Olympics

While at the helm of the United States, Sundhage won the2008 Algarve Cup and gold medals at both the2008 Summer Olympics and the2012 Summer Olympics. She was on the verge of winning the2009 Algarve Cup, but the United States lost out to Sundhage's nativeSweden on penalties. However, she did win the2010 Algarve Cup a year later, defeating World and European ChampionsGermany 3–2 in the final.^{[citation needed]}

She coached the women's team to the final of the2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, where the team advanced to the final for the first time since 1999. However, they were upset byJapan, losing 3–1 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw.^[12] A year later, Sundhage coached the USWNT to another gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, defeating Japan 2–1 in a Women's World Cup final rematch, withCarli Lloyd scoring both goals.^[13]

On 1 September 2012, Sundhage announced she was stepping down as the U.S women's head coach having expressed a desire to seek opportunities in her native Sweden. Sundhage announced she would coach the U.S. team's games on 16 and 19 September on the team's Olympic victory tour before officially resigning. "I have days where I think, 'What am I doing?' and there are other days where I'm like, 'I'm all up for this next challenge'" Sundhage said upon announcing her departing the US women's national team.^[14] She coached her last game againstAustralia as part the team's Olympic victory tour on 19 September, defeating them 6–2. With this final win Sundhage was able to leave the team with a 91–6–10 win–loss–tie record that included two Olympic gold medals and a second-place finish at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.^[15]

Sweden women's national team

[edit]

TheSwedish Football Association announced early 2 September 2012 that Sundhage signed a four-year contract that starts on 1 December. The announcement came hours after Sundhage's match as coach of the U.S. women's team, an 8–0 win in a friendly match againstCosta Rica; the first of a series organized to celebrate the winning of gold medal at the2012 London Olympics. Sundhage replacedThomas Dennerby, who resigned after Sweden failed to reach the semifinals in 2012 Olympics.^[16] "I have long dreamed of becoming Sweden coach and now I am so happy" Sundhage said.^[17] Sundhage's first major tournament as coach of theSweden team was the2013 European championship, which Sweden hosted;^[18] Sweden lost 0–1 in the semi-final to Germany, which won the championship. In the2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Sweden advanced from their group after 3 consecutive draws (including a scoreless draw with eventual championsUSA, but lost 4-1 to Germany in the Round of 16.^{[citation needed]}

At the2016 Summer Olympics, Sundhage's Sweden started slow, following up an opening 1-0 win overSouth Africa with a 1-5 loss vs the hosts (and her future employers),Brazil. However, a scoreless draw againstChina enabled Sweden to advance to the quarterfinals on a tiebreaker, where her team faced her formerUSA squad. Deploying defense-first tactics^{[note 1]} and very physical play,^[20] Sweden neutralized the top-ranked American attack, capitalized on a breakaway at 61', and held on through extra time to win in a penalty shootout. The victory marked the first instance of the USA being eliminated before reaching the medal rounds at the Olympics. Sweden would go on to a rematch with Brazil in the semifinals, which they would also win in penalties after a scoreless draw. With a 2-1 defeat toGermany in the Gold Medal match, Sweden won their first Olympic medal in women's football.^{[citation needed]}

After a disappointing quarterfinal exit in theUEFA Women's Euro 2017 tournament, in August 2017, Sundhage stepped down as coach of the women's national team, a move which had been announced the previous Fall.^[21] In November 2017, the Swedish Football Association announced the appointment of Sundhage as the newSweden women's national under-17 football team head coach. Sundhage took over her new duties on 1 January 2018.^[22]

Brazil women's national team

[edit]

In July 2019, Sundhage accepted an invitation from theBrazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to become the new coach of theBrazil women's national football team.^[23] She was let go after a disappointing performance of Brazil's team at the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.^[7]

Swiss women's national team

[edit]

Sundhage has coached theSwiss national team since 2024. The team surprised with a respectable performance against Spain in the quarter finals of theUEFA Women's Euro 2025 which took place in Switzerland.^[24]

Personal life

[edit]

In January 2010, Sundhage mentioned in a Swedish TV interview that as alesbian she has not felt anyhomophobia as a coach. "There has been no problem for me to be openly gay as head coach in the U.S.," said Sundhage.^[25]
