Malin Sophie Diaz Pettersson (born 3 January 1994) is a Swedish football midfielder who plays for Eskilstuna United DFF. She previously played at club level for AIK and Tyresö FF of the Damallsvenskan. Diaz has represented the Sweden women's national football team at senior level.
Malin was born to Swedish man Thomas Pettersson and Claudia Díaz, who had moved to Sweden from Chile aged eight after the 1973 coup d'état in her home country.
Diaz made her debut for AIK in the Damallsvenskan as a 15-year-old against Sunnanå SK in October 2009. She started her first match a week later against Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC, in which she also scored her first goal for the club. She finished the 2009 season having played two matches, with one start and one goal. After returning to AIK for the 2010 Damallsvenskan season, she made 16 starts in 19 appearances for a total of 1,488 minutes played. She scored two goals: one during a match against Kristianstad on 3 July in which AIK won 3–1 and another during a 2–2 draw against Umeå on 19 September.
Following AIK's relegation, Diaz made 17 Norrettan appearances during the 2011 season, where she scored two goals and made five assists, as the club won promotion back to the Damallsvenskan. Diaz signed a new two-year contract with AIK ahead of the 2012 season. She made 21 appearances with 19 starts for a total of 1,656 minutes on the pitch for AIK during the 2012 season.
