Hilda Carlén

After signing for Malmö for the 2009 season, Carlén was understudy to Caroline Jönsson, then Þóra Björg Helgadóttir. She also spent the 2010 season on loan at Damallsvenskan rivals Linköpings FC, where she was back-up to established goalkeeper Sofia Lundgren. Carlén played in Linköpings' 2010–11 UEFA Women's Champions League win over ŽNK Krka, but did not play in the league and was instead sent to get match practice playing for Stattena IF. Carlén joined Hammarby IF of the Elitettan for the 2013 season, in her quest for first team football. She was back in the Damallsvenskan with Piteå IF for 2014 and made her top level debut on 13 April 2014 in Piteå's 1–0 win over Linköpings. She made 20 league appearances in her first season with Piteå and was nominated for the "Årets målvakt" (English: Goalkeeper of the Year) award won by Hedvig Lindahl.

Carlén was Sweden's goalkeeper at the 2009 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Belarus and the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Germany. She made her senior international debut against Finland on 12 February 2015. That month she was also selected in the squad for the 2015 Algarve Cup. In May 2015, Carlén and Piteå team-mate Emilia Appelqvist were both confirmed in Sweden's squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.

Hilda's father is Per Carlén, a team handball coach and former player. Her mother Margareta and brother Oscar also represented Sweden at handball.
