IFK Norrköping will bid farewell to two key figures when the Damallsvenskan season draws to a close. Ebba Handfast and Sofia Hjern have both confirmed they are moving on from the club after the final match of the campaign.
Hjern, who arrived in 2019, has racked up more than 150 league appearances in Norrköping colours - a remarkable stint. Handfast joined three years later in 2022 but has made a lasting impression in a shorter spell.
Hjern spoke of a bond with the club that has only deepened over time, describing her love for IFK Norrköping as something that grew stronger with each passing year. She said she would now be swapping her boots for a spot among the supporters.
Handfast, meanwhile, called her time at the club unexpected but deeply meaningful, describing Norrköping as her home.
Sports director Dennis Popperyd praised both players for their contributions, crediting them with helping shape the team's trajectory. He expressed admiration for what they had given to the club while respecting their decision to pursue new challenges, as reported by Fotbollskanalen.
The pair will be honoured during IFK Norrköping's final fixture against AIK. It is no dead rubber either - the team need at least a draw to secure their place in the Damallsvenskan for next season. A fitting backdrop for a fitting farewell.
