Emilia Elisabeth Brodin (née Appelqvist; born 11 February 1990) is a Swedish footballer who played as a midfielder for the Damallsvenskan team Djurgårdens IF. She joined previous club Piteå IF for the 2014 season, having been on loan from Tyresö FF for the second part of the 2013 season. She has also played top-level club football for Bälinge IF and AIK.[https://int.soccerway.com/teams/sweden/tyreso-ff/ Statistics] in Soccerway Appelqvist made her debut for the Sweden women's national football team in February 2014.
Club career
Brodin, a defensive central midfielder,{{cite web|url=http://www.damfotboll.com/nyheter/2010/07/lagkaptenen-som-gor-andra-bra|title=Lagkaptenen som gör andra bra|publisher=Damfotboll.com|date=13 July 2010|access-date=27 June 2013|language=sv|first=Thorsten|last=Frennstedt}} began her senior career with local team Bälinge IF. In October 2007, at the age of 17, she was given a four-year contract with the club and was described by the coach as a future national team player.{{cite web|url=http://www.unt.se/sport/fyra-17-aringar-fick-fyraarskontrakt-173506.aspx|title=Fyra 17-åringar fick fyraårskontrakt|work=Upsala Nya Tidning|date=19 October 2007|access-date=27 June 2013|language=sv|first=Lisa|last= Edwinsson}}
Brodin spent three seasons with Bälinge before their relegation from the Damallsvenskan in 2008. Ahead of the 2009 season, she rejected an offer from Tyresö FF and joined AIK instead. When AIK suffered relegation in 2010, a disappointed Brodin moved to Tyresö explaining that she had to keep playing Damallsvenskan football to be considered for the national team.{{cite web|url=http://www.damfotboll.com/nyheter/2010/11/landslagskapten-till-tyreso|title=Landslagskapten till Tyresö|publisher=Damfotboll.com|date=29 November 2010|access-date=27 June 2013|language=sv}}

Tyresö won the Damallsvenskan title for the first time in the 2012 season and Brodin collected her first league winner's medal.{{cite web|url=https://www.dn.se/sport/fotboll/tyreso-vann-sm-guld-efter-dramatik/|title=Tyresö vann SM-guld efter dramatik|work=Dagens Nyheter|date=3 November 2012|access-date=27 June 2013|language=sv|first=Johannes|last=Cleris}} With competition for places increasingly fierce at Tyresö, Brodin moved to Piteå on loan during the 2013 mid-season break.[https://archive.today/20130628050104/http://www.pitea-tidningen.se/sport/pitea-varvar-mittfaltare-7720610-default.aspx "Piteå värvar mittfältare"], Piteå-Tidningen, 20 June 2013 {{in lang|sv}}Kent Risberg Vikström, [http://www.kuriren.nu/nyheter/default.aspx?articleid=6873577 "Piteå IF värvar från svenska mästarna"], Norrbottens-Kuriren, 20 June 2013 {{in lang|sv}}
In November 2013 Brodin made her transfer to Piteå permanent, despite reported interest from other clubs.{{cite web|url=http://www.nsd.se/sport/landslagsspelare-stannar-i-pif-8043050.aspx|title=Landslagsspelare stannar i PIF|publisher=Norrländska Socialdemokraten|date=22 November 2013|access-date=18 January 2014|language=sv}} After helping Piteå to a third-place finish in 2015, she left for Djurgårdens IF, explaining that the social aspect of living back in Stockholm had attracted her.{{cite news|last1=Bråstedt|first1=Mats|title=Emilia Appelqvist klar för spel i Djurgården|url=http://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/damallsvenskan/emilia-appelqvist-klar-for-spel-i-djurgarden/|access-date=29 December 2015|work=Expressen|date=9 December 2015|language=sv}}
A serious knee injury sustained in January 2017 ruled Brodin out of the entire 2017 Damallsvenskan season and UEFA Women's Euro 2017. Although that was the final year of her Djurgårdens contract, she was happy to sign a one-year extension in October 2017 and expected to be back to full fitness in 2018.{{cite news|title=Förlängt med Emilia Brodin|url=http://dif.se/forlangt-med-emilia-brodin/|access-date=20 January 2018|publisher=Djurgårdens IF Fotboll|date=20 October 2017|language=sv|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180307160621/http://dif.se/forlangt-med-emilia-brodin/|archive-date=7 March 2018|url-status=dead}}

Although she had already resumed training after her knee injury, she was forced to put her football comeback plans on hold.{{cite news |title=Comebacken dröjer för gravid Brodin |url=https://kuriren.nu/sport/comebacken-drojer-for-gravid-brodin-nm4787099.aspx |access-date=30 June 2019 |publisher=Norrbottens-Kuriren |date=13 March 2018 |language=sv |archive-date=30 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190630120018/https://kuriren.nu/sport/comebacken-drojer-for-gravid-brodin-nm4787099.aspx |url-status=dead }}
