- Frida grew up in Baerum, a suburb west of Oslo known for its stability and middle-class life—an ideal environment that supported her football journey.
- Her older sister Hanna, also a talented player, spent most of her career at Stabaek and always spoke highly of Frida’s potential. Hanna’s career was unfortunately cut short by injury. She later studied psychology.
- Though she stayed only about eight months in Stabaek before transferring to Linköping, Frida left a lasting impression thanks to her talent and character.
