Julia Emma Maria Tunturi (born 25 April 1996) is a Finnish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Eskilstuna United DFF and the Finland national team. She previously played for TPS and Åland United of the Naisten Liiga.

Club career[]

In November 2017 Tunturi agreed a transfer from TPS to Eskilstuna United DFF of the Swedish Damallsvenskan. Calling the move "a step up" in her career, she described herself as a left-footed player who prefers a central midfield role.[2] She signed a two-year, full-time professional contract with Eskilstuna United.[3]

International career[]

Tunturi made her debut for the Finland women's national team on 6 March 2015, in a 0–0 draw with the Netherlands at the 2015 Cyprus Cup. She was named in the 2013 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship Team of the Tournament, after Finland reached the semi-finals.[4] She was also a member of the Finland squad at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada.
