Starting her career in Hägglunds IoFK in her native Örnsköldsvik, she joined Umeå IK in 1995, playing in Damallsvenskan, the highest division of women's football in Sweden. In 2000 she won her first Swedish Championship with the club, and in the following year received the Diamantbollen,{{cite web |url=http://svenskfotboll.se/svensk-fotboll/historia/historik-damer/diamantbollen/ |title=Diamantbollen |language=sv |publisher=Swedish Football Association |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101120165956/http://svenskfotboll.se/svensk-fotboll/historia/historik-damer/diamantbollen/ |archive-date=20 November 2010 |url-status=live |access-date=17 December 2011}} the Swedish Football Association's annual prize to the woman player of the year.

International career
On 26 July 1998 Moström made her senior debut for Sweden in a friendly against England at Victoria Road, Dagenham. Entering the game as a substitute, she spoiled Hope Powell's first match as England manager by scoring the only goal on 84 minutes.
As a national team player, she has played more than 110 national fixtures, and was one of the most important players when the national team won the silver medal at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2003. Moström's 79th-minute goal against Canada in the Semi-Final of that tournament tied the match and kept Swedish hopes alive.{{Cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/matches/round=69290400/match=69290030/index.html#nosticky |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702171415/http://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/matches/round=69290400/match=69290030/index.html#nosticky |url-status=dead |archive-date=2 July 2015 |title=FIFA Women's World Cup USA 2003: MATCH Report: Sweden – Canada: Semi-Final|publisher=FIFA}} In the 2004 Olympic football tournament she scored a match-winning goal against Nigeria in the final round of the group stage, which took Sweden to the quarter final.
