Julia Karlernäs (also spelled Karlenäs; born 6 October 1993) is a Swedish football midfielder who plays for Piteå IF and the Sweden national team.

Club career

In the 2018 Damallsvenskan season, Karlernäs's 11 goals from midfield helped Piteå secure the League title and won her the Most Valuable Player award. She signed a new contract with the club shortly afterwards.^[2]

International career

Karlernäs was called up to the senior Sweden squad for the first time in June 2018.^[3] On 30 August 2018 she won her first cap as a substitute in a 3–0 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying win over the Ukraine at Gamla Ullevi. She won a second cap and made her first start for the national team in October, in a 2–1 win over rivals Norway.^[4]

She was left out of the team for the 2019 Algarve Cup and told by coach Peter Gerhardsson that she needed to improve to reach the standard required for international football. Disappointed Karlernäs resolved to keep playing well for her club, but recognised that she was unlikely to be selected for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France.^[5]
