Maria Ulrika Kalte (born May 19, 1970 in Skärholmen ) is a former Swedish national soccer player . The striker played from 1989 to 1996 in the Swedish national team for women, for which she played at the 1995 Women's World Cup and the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta .

Career

Kalte played for the Swedish clubs Hammarby IF and Älvsjö AIK . On May 23, 1989, she made her first international match in the 2-0 win at Wembley Stadium against England as a prelude to the English men's team's game against Chile in the "Rous Cup". However , she was not nominated for the EM 1989 that followed. She had to wait almost three years until her next game: on March 8, 1992, she came on as a substitute for Norway at the tournament in Agia Napa in Cyprus , where she scored her first international goal. In the second tournament game against Denmark she was substituted on again and scored again. In the next few games she was also used and only after her ninth game was there a break of four games. After that she was missing only once until the end of her career, on January 21, 1996 in one of the six biggest defeats of the Swedes.

In 1994 she took part in the first edition of the Algarve Cup and finished third with her team. In both semifinals of the European Championship in 1995 against Norway, she scored one goal each. After the European Championship semifinals, she and her team also won the second edition of the Algarve Cup with a 3-2 after extra time against Denmark. But she then lost the European Championship final against Germany 2: 3. In the run-up to the 1995 home World Cup, she scored four of the five goals in the Swedes' first game against Australia . At the World Cup they were able to return the favor to the German team and win the group game against them 3-2, while the Germans made it to the final, the Swedes failed in the quarter-finals against China . Although she scored the goal to equalize 1-1 in the third minute of stoppage time, in the penalty shoot-out that followed the goalless extra time and in which she was not used, but missed two of her teammates. By making it to the quarter-finals, the Swedes had qualified for the first Olympic soccer tournament at the Olympic Games in Atlanta . At the Algarve Cup 1996 she reached the final with her team, but lost the title after a 4-0 defeat to Norway, and things didn't go well at the Olympic Games either: after the first two defeats against China and the USA it was 3-1 win against Denmark meaningless. After the Olympic Games, she played one more game in qualifying for the 1997 European Championship against Denmark under the new coach Marika Domanski Lyfors . After that, her career ended with 56 international matches and 20 goals, the last three of which she had scored on October 15, 1995 in an 8-0 win against Romania . With 20 goals, she is 13th on the list of goalscorers with two other players, including the still active Nilla Fischer .
