Club career

edit

Glas began her football career at Sundsvalls DFF of Sweden's second division, the Elitettan. Glas' first experience with a professional team was in 2013, when she joined Sunnanå SK of the Damallsvenskan.[2][3] In March 2013, Glas suffered the second ACL tear of her career in a pre-season match against Umeå IK.[4] As a result, she missed the entire 2013 Damallsvenskan season.

In November 2013, she joined Umeå IK and played sixteen matches in her first season, scoring two goals.[5] At the end of the 2014 Damallsvenskan season, Glas extended her contract with Umeå for another year.[6] Glas played most of the 2015 Damallsvenskan season before tearing her ACL for the third time in September 2015 in a match against Kopparberg/Goeteborg FC (now BK Häcken).[7][8] Ahead of the 2016 season, she extended her contract at the club by two years.[9] She spent most of the season rehabilitating her injury, and was back in action at the end of August, playing 10 games for the club.[5] At the end of the 2016 season, Umeå were relegated to the Elitettan after 19 straight seasons in Sweden's top division.

In November 2016, Glas left relegated Umeå IK to sign a two-year contract with Eskilstuna United.[10] In 2018, she transferred to Paris Saint-Germain. Glas made just five league appearances in her second season with PSG.[11] She joined Bayern Munich on a three-year deal in 2020.[2]

On 25 April 2021, in the first leg of Bayern's UEFA Women's Champions League semifinal against Chelsea, Glas gave an assist to Sydney Lohmann and then scored Bayern's match-winner.[11] In the second leg, Bayern were defeated 4–1 by Chelsea. On 19 May 2021, UEFA selected Glas' goal against Chelsea as the best goal of the 2020–21 tournament.[12] On 6 June 2021, Glas earned the first major club title of her career when Bayern became Frauen-Bundesliga champions for the first time since 2016.[13]

Glas missed the entire 2022–2023 Frauen Bundesliga season when she tore her ACL for a fourth time in September 2022 during a training session with the national team.

In 2023, she signed a two-year contract with the Kansas City Current. Prior to the start of the 2023 season, however, Glas suffered a season-ending knee injury that kept her sidelined until a July 27th, 2024 game against Pachuca in the 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.[14] This was the defender's only game for Kansas City, providing an assist in the 3-0 win before being substituted off in the 67th minute.[15]

On 2 September 2024, the Kansas City Current announced that they had traded Glas to Seattle Reign FC in exchange for $10,000 in intra-league transfer funds, plus an additional $10,000 if certain performance criteria are achieved.[14]

International career

edit

In 2009, Glas played for Sweden's U-17 national team, and in 2010, suffered the first ACL injury of her career in a training session with the team.[7] She later went on to play for Sweden's under-19 football team, and was an important part of the squad that won the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.[16]

Glas was selected for the Swedish national team in 2015 to compete in UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying after having had a strong club season in 2015, but her third ACL injury made it so she was unable to join the squad.[7] On 19 January 2017, Glas finally made her debut in the national team in a 2–1 loss against Norway. In 2019, she was a part of Sweden's squad that finished third place in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[17] In 2021, she was a starter in Sweden's 2020 Tokyo Olympics campaign where they won a silver medal.[18] Glas missed the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup due to injury.

On 15 October 2024, Glas announced her retirement from international football.[19]
