Anvegård's prolific goalscoring for Växjö brought her to the attention of Sweden's national team selectors and made her a transfer target for several bigger clubs, in Sweden and beyond. She made her senior national team debut in June 2018, against Croatia, and was praised by coach Peter Gerhardsson for her striking instincts: "She has the classic nose for the target and knows where it is".[2]
Anvegård was a part of the Swedish squad for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France. In August 2019, she completed a transfer to the Swedish top club FC Rosengård.
