Amanda Ilestedt plays for PSG. Victor Nelson Lindelof represents Manchester United.
Their common denominator?
Both took home the award as Comeback of the Year for 2022.
The Noon of the Year award is being presented at the 2022 Swedish Football Association Awards Gala, broadcast on Sportbladet on December 27.
Therefore, it is Amanda Ellistit who receives the honorary award among Swedish footballers (here you can read a longer interview with her).
On the men’s side, he goes to Victor Nelson Lindelof for the fourth time and fifth overall.
– Of course, you will be happy and proud that you won the prize last year, he says.
“feel proud”
However, 2022 has been a difficult year for the national team for Nelson Lindelof. As you know, the Swedish guys missed the World Cup in Qatar and were kicked out of the Nations League.
Many of the results did not go the way we wanted. But as a team we have developed over the year and have become a tighter group after several setbacks and injuries. I take great pride in that, says Nelson Lindelof.
During the Year of Football 2022 programme, the Guldbollen Award, which is the joint award of Sportbladet and the Swedish Football Association, will be awarded. As well as the Sydsvenskan Award and the Swedish Football Association: Diamond Ball.
