- Eriksson, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, announced her decision to end her international career to fans on Instagram.

- Eriksson was instrumental in Sweden's great football successes. She scored 14 goals in 123 matches. She played in three European Championships, two World Cups, and two Olympic Games.
- She won two Olympic silver medals and two bronze medals at the World Championships with Sweden.
- The decision came just before the bronze medal match of the Nations League, which Sweden will play against France in December.
