Thus, Idéhn, who formed a blue-and-yellow goalkeeping pair with Johanna Bundsen at the World Cup in December, has played her last match for Ikast.

It was already clear that she would leave the club this summer to play for league rival Silkeborg, reports the Ritzau news agency. The Swede has previously played for Silkeborg on two occasions.

Filippa Idéhn became the mother of a son in the autumn of 2023. The goalkeeper has made 143 international appearances and has played in nine championships for Sweden.
