During the 2024/25 Nations League season, she played as captain against her fiancée Magdalena Eriksson. They bet that whoever lost would have to wash the dishes at home. Fans of the Swedish national team prepared a choreographed display that read ‘Pernille will wash the dishes.’ Denmark lost both matches.

Her best friend is her Sweden international teammate Nathalie Björn. They have known each other since kindergarten. Filippa also gave her son the middle name Björn after Nathalie.

Her favourite pre-match routine is playing Monopoly Deal with Alessia and Caitlin.

Breathwork is her pre-game superpower. Before matches or races, it helps her clear her mind, reduce nerves and get into a flow state.

Before every game, her dad brought her a banana and a Snickers. He didn’t focus on talent—only on effort.
