Madelen Fatimma Maria Janogy (born 12 November 1995) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Fiorentina and the Sweden national team.
Janogy started to play youth football with hometown team Falköpings KIK at age 11.[3][4] In 2010, she made her senior debut for the club in Division 1, by then the second highest domestic tier, making three appearances.[5] In 2013, Janogy had her major breakthrough, scoring 32 goals in 21 games in Division 1, which by then had become the domestic third tier.[3][6]
In 2014, Janogy moved to Mallbackens IF in Elitettan, the Swedish second tier, helping the side to win the league and reach promotion.[7][8] In 2015, during her debut season in Damallsvenskan, Janogy scored twice in 21 games, helping her side finish 10th in the table, avoiding relegation.[5][6][9] In 2016, Janogy scored five goals in 22 appearances, but was unable to help the side from finishing at the foot of the Damallsvenskan table.[5][6]
In 2017, Janogy joined Piteå IF in Damallsvenskan, together with her teammate Julia Karlernäs from Mallbacken.[10][5] In her first season with the club, Janogy scored seven goals in 22 appearances, helping Piteå finish 4th in the table.[6] On 2 November 2017, she signed a new one-year contract, with an option for a further year.[11]
In 2018, Piteå won their first ever Damallsvenskan title.[12][13] Janogy scored four goals in 21 league appearances throughout the season,[6] most notably a brace in the title deciding 6–1 win against Växjö in the last round.[13]
In 2019, Janogy scored eight goals in 19 league games, although Piteå was unable to repeat their success in Damallsvenskan, finishing 6th in the table.[5][6] In the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League, Piteå was knocked out by Danish club Brøndby IF in the round of 32 by 1–2 on aggregate, with Janogy featuring in both legs.[14] At the end of the year, it was announced that Janogy would leave Piteå at the expiration of her contract.[15]
In 19 December 2019, Janogy signed a one-and-a-half year contract with defending German Bundesliga champions Wolfsburg, effective in January 2020.[16][17] On 1 July 2020, about six months after her arrival, Janogy left Wolfsburg by mutual consent without making any competitive appearances.[18] She later revealed that she suffered from a mental illness while at the club.[19]
On 5 August 2020, after taking a break from football for a couple of months, Janogy returned to her former club Piteå IF in Damallsvenskan, signing a one and a half-year contract.[20][21] After returning to the pitch, Janogy scored three goals in 12 appearances.[6] In November the same year, it was announced that she had exercised an option in her contract to leave the club.[22]
On 22 December 2020, Janogy moved to Hammarby IF, that just had been promoted to Damallsvenskan, signing a two-year contract.[23] In 2021, Janogy scored 10 goals in 21 appearances, helping the side to finish 7th in the table.[6] Janogy was voted Hammarby Player of the Year by the supporters of the club.[24] She was also nominated for the award of Damallsvenskan Forward of the Year,[25] but the prize eventually went to Stina Blackstenius from BK Häcken.[26]
In 2022, Janogy suffered from injuries, but still managed to score 11 goals in 21 appearances, helping Hammarby finish 5th in the Damallsvenskan table.[6][27] On 22 December 2022, Janogy signed a new one-year contract with the club.[28]
On 6 June 2023, Hammarby won the 2022–23 Svenska Cupen. Janogy scored a brace in the final, that ended in a 3–0 win at home against BK Häcken.[29] The club also won the 2023 Damallsvenskan, claiming its second Swedish championship after 38 years, with Janogy scoring 12 goals in 24 appearances.[6][30] At the end of the season, Janogy was awarded the Damallsvenskan prize Forward of the Year,[31] while also leaving the club following the expiration of her contract.[32][33]
On 3 January 2024, Janogy joined Italian club Fiorentina on a free transfer,[32] signing a contract until June 2026.[34][35]
Janogy made her senior Sweden debut on 22 January 2019, coming on as a 61st minute substitute in a goalless draw against South Africa. She scored her first international goal on 31 May 2019 in a 1–0 friendly win against South Korea.[36] Janogy was part of the squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, scoring in stoppage time against Chile after subbing on in the 81st minute to help secure a 2–0 win in Sweden's opening game of the tournament.[37] She made three appearances at the 2019 World Cup, all from the bench.
On 13 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.[38]
