Ida Hermannsdottir has officially signed with Hammarby Fotboll, securing a contract that ties her to the Swedish club through 2030. The move marks the next step in the Icelandic forward’s European journey, as she prepares to compete in the country’s premier women’s league, Damallsvenskan.
During her four years at Louisiana State University, Hermannsdottir emerged as one of the most prolific scorers in program history. She finished her collegiate career with 29 goals and 11 assists across 85 appearances, a tally that places her fifth all‑time among LSU women’s soccer players. Her impact helped the Tigers capture their first NCAA Sweet 16 berth, and she earned Second Team All‑SEC honors in 2025 after previously collecting All‑SEC recognition as a freshman in 2022 and third‑team accolades in 2024.
A College Career Defined by Milestones
Hermannsdottir’s collegiate résumé is punctuated by standout moments, including a record‑setting burst of two goals in 13 seconds against Louisiana‑Lafayette. She also converted five of eleven penalty kicks in 2025, ranking second in LSU history, and was named to the SEC All‑Freshman Team in her debut season.
Success in Iceland Paves the Way
Before arriving in Sweden, the forward honed her craft in Icelandic football, winning the Valur Reykjavik league title and the Reykjavik Cup in 2021, followed by the Icelandic Women’s Super Cup in 2022. Representing her homeland at senior, U‑19 and U‑17 levels, she brings a wealth of international experience to Hammarby’s attack.
The transition to Damallsvenskan also places Hermannsdottir in a competitive environment that has produced several European stars. Coaches expect her offensive instincts and penalty‑taking precision to add depth to the squad, while fans anticipate a fresh chapter for the player who once led LSU to historic heights.
