Lisa Ek (born 15 September 1982) is a Swedish former football midfielder who last played for Fiorentina. She has also played for AIK Fotboll, Hammarby IF, FC Rosengård and Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC of the Damallsvenskan.[1][2] The 2011-12 season marked her Champions League debut.
In September 2012 Ek suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, ruling her out of action for at least six months.[3]
Ek has been an under-19 international.[4] She is also an accomplished bandy and ice hockey player. In 2013 her partner was male lower division footballer Per Broberg.[5]
Ek retired from football in 2016, after spending a season in Italy playing for Fiorentina. She intended to remain in Italy having become romantically attached to an Italian boyfriend.[6] She attended UEFA Women's Euro 2017 as a pundit for Sveriges Television, where she attracted notice for her dyed-blue hairstyle.[7]
