History
• Tyresö, the women's section of a fifth-tier men's club in the suburbs of Stockholm, have only come to prominence in recent years after a sustained period of investment.

• A Damallsvenskan side between 1993 and 1996, a decade later Tyresö had dropped to the fourth tier before three promotions in four seasons took them back to the top flight for 2010.

• Immediately a force to be reckoned with, they reached the Swedish Cup final in 2011 and again in 2012, when they beat FC Malmö in a dramatic decider to win the league championship for the first time.

• Losing their title the next year when finishing second, they impressed on their UEFA Women's Champions League debut, knocking out ambitious Paris, 2003 runners-up Fortuna, Neulengbach and Birmingham to reach the final.

• Having previously fielded high-profile Americans Julie Foudy, Michelle Akers and Kristine Lilly in the 1990s, Tyresö have again build a team of contemporary women's football stars, though many will leave in the summer after financial problems over the winter.

Key players
Tyresö's highest-profile stars are up front where Marta, a 2004 winner with Umeå IK and five-time FIFA Women's World Player of the Year, starts alongside Spain's Verónica Boquete and United States striker Christen Press, their European top scorer this season on nine goals.

In midfield, Swedish trio Caroline Seger, Lisa Dalhqvist and Malin Diaz are the usual choice. At the back two more Americans, Whitney Engen and Meghan Klingenberg, join Linda Sembrandt and Denmark's Line Røddik, while there is a choice in goal between another former finalist with Umeå, Carola Söberg, and winter signing Tinja-Riikka Korpela of Finland.

Date of birth: 14 August 1973
Nationality: Swedish

Coaching career: Ytterhogdals IK, Degerfors IF, Hammarby IF, Kongsvinger IL, United States women (assistant), Tyresö FF women

Gustavsson's playing career was spent largely in Sweden's lower divisions, with a short spell in the United States. His first management role was as Ytterhogdal player-coach between 2000 and 2003 and, after ending his on-pitch career at Degerfor, he became assistant there and later took charge. 

Taking over Hammarby in 2006, he left with their 2009 relegation and suffered a similar fate a year later with Kongsvinger in Norway. In April 2012, Gustavsson became assistant to compatriot Pia Sundhage with the US and helped them to Olympic gold before being appointed by Tyresö and leading them to that year's league title, their first, and then – in their European debut – to the 2013/14 UEFA Women's Champions League final.
