Sveindís Jónsdóttir Shines as Angel City FC’s March Hero

Angel City FC kicked off their season without a single loss in March, a rare feat in the NWSL. Their secret weapon? Icelandic striker Sveindís Jónsdóttir, whose sharp performances earned her a historic MVP title. She became the first player to claim Sports Illustrated’s new monthly NWSL award, designed to highlight standout players. Jónsdóttir didn’t waste time proving her worth—three goals and two assists in three games meant she directly influenced every match.At just 24, she’s already a force in the Golden Boot race. Her speed and precision inside the box make her a nightmare for defenders. Even her assists aren’t just random passes—they’re calculated moves that set up teammates perfectly. This wasn’t always the case. After a quieter year in 2025, she’s back with a bang, showing why Angel City took the risk of signing her from Wolfsburg. Last season, Angel City fell short of the playoffs by a wide margin. Could Jónsdóttir be the missing piece to turn things around? With her in the lineup, the club has a real shot at returning to the postseason for the first time since their debut year.
