Bälinge presented their latest signing at a press conference today: Umeå's and Finland's highly rated midfielder Anne Mäkinen. Mäkinen explains that she moves to the Stockholm area to be able to get the education she wants and that she decided for Bälinge because of the challenge. "I want to be part of a team that commits to the future. I've heard a lot of good things from my Finnish teammates [Finland players Minna Mustonen and Heidi Matinlassi]".
Bälinge's chairman Conny Sjöberg called Mäkinen's signing "probably the biggest event in the history of the club" and was "extremely proud and happy" that she chose Bälinge.
