Zećira Mušović was born on May 26, 1996 (age 27 years) in Falun, Sweden. She is the daughter of a family of Bosniak descent. Her family emigrated from Prijepolje, Serbia due to the Yugoslav Wars. The family relocated to Scania, where Mušović joined the youth system of Helsingborg’s Stattena IF. She spoke of her Bosniak heritage and stated that she takes annual vacations to Bosnia and Herzegovina, visiting relatives and her “favorite city” Sarajevo.
Mušović graduated with a degree in economics from Lund University in 2018. Her older brother Huso Mušović was himself a lower-division footballer. Mušović maintains a personal blog on her own website. She has firm political views and challenged two of her social media contacts over their support for the controversial Sweden Democrats party at the 2018 Swedish general election.
Club career
Zećira Mušović began playing football for Stattena IF as a nine-year-old. She spent two seasons with the club’s senior women’s team in Division 2 in 2011 and 2012, helping the club secure promotion in the latter campaign.
Mušović transferred from Stattena to LdB FC Malmö in October 2012. In 2013 she understudied Þóra Björg Helgadóttir, who was named Goalkeeper of the Year as Malmö secured the 2013 Damallsvenskan championship. Malmö rebranded as FC Rosengård for the 2014 Damallsvenskan and Mušović was elevated to first-team contention when Helgadóttir left the club during the mid-season break.
German import Kathrin Längert then vied with Mušović for Rosengård’s goalkeeper position. When Mušović secured increasing first-team participation in the 2015 Damallsvenskan, the club announced they were pleased with her development and awarded a new 2.5-year contract in May 2015. Ambitious Mušović wanted to become the best goalkeeper in the world.
Zećira Mušović received two setbacks ahead of the 2016 Damallsvenskan season. First Rosengård signed Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod, then Mušović broke her arm while playing for Sweden U-23s. In the event McLeod suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, the club had to bring in veteran Sofia Lundgren as cover.
After some long conversations with Rosengård director of football Therese Sjögran, Mušović agreed to remain at the club although she was unhappy at losing her place in the team once McLeod recovered from her injured knee. Instead of making a transfer request, she resolved to improve aspects of her own game by training alongside her experienced Canadian rival.
In October 2017 Mušović was given a new three-year contract by Rosengård. She declared: “FC Rosengård has always been and will always be the club in my heart”. McLeod’s lucrative contract was not extended, causing her team-mate and then wife Ella Masar to quit the club in solidarity.
International career
Zećira Mušović captained Sweden under-19s to the 2015 UEFA Women’s Under-19 Championship final stage in Israel. She was disappointed when FC Rosengård stopped her from attending the tournament because they needed her for club fixtures. The disappointment was compounded when Sweden’s under-19s won the competition.
Despite having lost her position as first choice at club level, Mušović was called up by incoming Sweden national team coach Peter Gerhardsson for the opening 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers. She attended several matches as a non-playing substitute, then proudly won her first senior cap in March 2018, securing a debut “clean sheet” in a 3–0 win over Russia at the 2018 Algarve Cup.
Mušović endured a difficult second appearance for Sweden when she deputized for Hedvig Lindahl in a friendly against Italy in October 2018. Her handling error allowed Daniela Sabatino to score the only goal of the match. In May 2019 she was one of three goalkeepers selected by Sweden for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, alongside Lindahl and the uncapped Jennifer Falk.
On 13 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. Her remarkable achievements have earned her some luxurious lifestyles and some fancy car trips. She is one of the richest and most influential footballers in Sweden. She stands at an appealing height of 1.80m and has a good body weight which suits her personality.
Husband
Zećira Mušović has no husband or children as of July 2023. She is currently in a relationship with Swedish professional ice hockey player Alen Bibić as of August 2023.
