Prior to the 2013 season, Blackstenius signed a three-year contract with Linköpings FC. She enjoyed a successful debut season in the Damallsvenskan, scoring eight goals and posting three assists.[3] In January 2014 she extended her Linköpings contract by a further three years.[4]

Matches and goals scored at World Cup & Olympic tournaments
Stina Blackstenius has appeared at one Olympic Games (Rio 2016) and one World Cup (France 2019) for Sweden.
Replacing an injured Fridolina Rolfö in the 18th minute of the 2016 Olympic Quarter-Final, Blackstenius would score in the second half to give Sweden a lead over the USA. Although the Americans tied the score, the Blackstenius goal was enough to give Sweden the opportunity of a penalty kick shoot-out, where they were victorious and advanced to the next stage.[10] Coming on again as a substitute in the Gold Medal Match, Blackstenius scored in the 67th minute to pull Sweden within one score of Germany. No further goals were forthcoming, and Sweden walked away with a Silver Medal.[11]
Blackstenius scored two crucial goals in Sweden's run to a third place finish in the 2019 World Cup. She netted two game winners in the knockout stage, beginning with the lone goal in a 1–0 win over Canada in the Round of 16.[12] In the Quarter-Final, Blackstenius scored the deciding goal in the historic victory over Germany, giving Sweden its first win against the Germans in a major tournament since the 1995 World Cup.[13]
