Hanna Erica Maria Glas (born 16 April 1993) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a defender for National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club Seattle Reign FC.

Club career

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] She made her club debut on 17 September, starting a 2–0 defeat at the hands of NJ/NY Gotham FC.[16] In November 2024, the Reign re-signed Glas to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2026.

International career

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.[17]

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.[18] In 2021, she was a starter in Sweden's 2020 Tokyo Olympics campaign where they won a silver medal.[19] Glas missed the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup due to injury.

On 15 October 2024, Glas announced her retirement from international football.[20]

Personal life

Hanna was born in Sundsvall, Sweden to Susanne Glas and Leif Nilsson. She has a brother, Johan. In July 2023, she married her partner of over ten years, Christoffer Milde.
