Did You Know?
Karresmaa was born in Kajaani, Finland, and later moved to Helsinki as a teenager to attend the Mäkelänrinne Sports High School.
She began her football journey with Kajaanin Wimma before progressing through Oulu Nice Soccer, HauPa, and the HFA-Märsky academy pathway.
Learning Italian became essential because Sampdoria's head coach did not speak English, motivating her to improve the language rapidly.
She described Italian football as faster and more technically demanding than what she had previously experienced in Finland.
Playing for Finland was one of her earliest football dreams while growing up.
Time with friends and gym sessions are among the ways she likes to spend her free time.
