Bella Andersson
Bella Astrid Christina Andersson is a Swedish footballer who plays as a defender. She has represented Sweden at youth international levels.
Did You Know?
She was part of the Hammarby F17 side that won the Swedish championship in 2022.
At 17, she made her first Damallsvenskan start against Rosengard.
Her best friend is Sweden's player Smilla Holmberg. They have played together since childhood and had long talked about how playing for Sweden’s senior team together would be a dream.
She made her debut with Sweden's senior national team in 2026. She said she wouldn't be there without Holmberg.
Moving to Madrid was a big life change for her because she went from living at home to suddenly living alone in an apartment.
She openly says she hates cooking and finds it boring, which was one of the things that made the move abroad feel daunting at first.
