Linn Hansson (born 18 September 1997) is a Swedish handball player for Paris 92 and the Swedish national team.[1]
Career
As a youth player Hansson played for IK Sävehof, where she won Junior gold medals. Due to the competition for playing time, she moved to BK Heid in 2016.[1][1][2] Here she played for 2 years, before joining Önnereds HK.[3] In 2024 she joined IK Sävehof.[4] A year later she moved to France to join Paris 92.[5]
Hansson never played for the Swedish youth national teams, due to competition from Hanna Örtorp, Emma Rask and Olivia Mellegård.[1] In October 2022 she was selected for the Swedish national team for the first time.[6] She was included in the brutto team for the 2022 European Women's Handball Championship, but did not make the final squad.[7] During the championship she was however called up.[8]
