Why Hanna Ljungberg ranks #94 in Football
Hanna Ljungberg ranks 94th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 162nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 86, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1996–2009 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes sweden caps 130, sweden goals 72, damallsvenskan titles 5, world cup finals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Eugénie Le Sommer on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sergio Ramos on 87.2. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
