The San Diego Wave made a huge statement by signing Sofia Jakobsson this past January. By signing the player, the team sent a sign of intent as they showed that they wanted to begin their NWSL adventure by hitting the ground running. Jakobsson is an experienced winger who has won a plethora of trophies, including the silver medal at last summer’s Olympics. Recently, she won the Algarve Cup with Sweden as they defeated Italy on penalties.
Before the tournament’s final, the forward was interviewed by the Swedish broadcaster SVT about why she chose to leave Bayern Munich and to join the San Diego Wave.
