Club Career

After one season in KIF Orebro's Damallsvenskan team, 18-year-old Dahlkvist signed for national champions Umea IK in December 2005. She found the adjustment to a higher standard of football difficult and was close to quitting Umea on several occasions during the first two seasons. After settling into the team Dahlkvist developed into one of Sweden's best central midfielders, winning three Damallsvenskan titles with the club.

Dahlkvist also played in Umea's two UEFA Women's Cup final defeats in 2007 and 2008. She scored a penalty in the away leg of the 2008 final.

In autumn 2009 Dahlkvist decided to leave Umea and received offers from leading Damallsvenkan clubs Kopparbergs/Goteborg FC and Linkopings FC. She accepted the offer from Goteborg. When Dahlkvist's contract expired in 2011, Goteborg wanted to keep her, but she was linked with a transfer to league champions Malmo. Instead she decided to join big spending Tyreso FF on a two-year contract.

Tyreso won the Damallsvenskan title for the first time in the 2012 season and Dahlkvist collected her fourth league winner's medal, in addition to three won with Umea. Dahlkvist and Tyreso were upset in the final of the Svenska Cupen, by her former club
