Maja Bodin (born 15 September 2001) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Damallsvenskan club BK Häcken.

Early life

Bodin was born on 15 September 2001 in Karlskrona, located in Karlskrona Municipality, Blekinge County, Sweden. She began playing football at age eight.

Club career

Kristianstads DFF

Bodin joined Kristianstad from Division 2 club Nättraby GoIF in August 2017. She made her Damallsvenskan debut at age 15 on 3 September 2017, coming on as a 65th-minute substitute for Tine Schryvers in a 2–1 loss to Piteå.

On 27 March 2019, Kristianstad registered several players including Bodin on a part-time loan with Elitettan club Asarum. On 19 May 2019, at age 17, she scored her first Damallsvenskan goal as Kristianstad won 3–0 against Eskilstuna United. After six seasons at the club, she became a free agent at the end of 2022.

KIF Örebro

On 16 December 2022, Bodin signed a two-year contract with KIF Örebro. She debuted for the club on 25 February 2023, scoring against BK Häcken in a 3–1 loss in the Swedish Women's Cup.

Växjö DFF

On 20 December 2024, following KIF Örebro's relegation, Bodin signed a two-year contract with Växjö.

BK Häcken

On 11 August 2026, Bodin was sold to league rivals BK Häcken. She had also gained transfer interest from clubs including Arsenal, Djurgården, and West Ham United, but chose to join the reigning Swedish champions as a potential replacement for Felicia Schröder, taking over her number 9 shirt. She debuted for the club four days later, scoring a hat trick in a 6–0 win over Brommapojkarna.
